Hello masters. 1st I want to say that I already know I made mistakes by buying these items. I'm a newbie and very much want to learn the right way...hence i'm here.
So after reading through this forum, I realized that I got suckered by buying a bunch of stuff from Amazon. Not saying that Amazon is bad, but the stuff that I bought from there, based on the unrealistic reviews, are not that great.
I wanted to setup a studio in a spare room in my house, and also a few gears to take outdoor. So these are the items I bought. Please let me know if they're of any use (beside trash can fillers), and let me know the equivalent items that are better or what you would recommend me getting instead.
1. Amazon.com: Fotodiox 6"x8" Softbox for Nikon Flash, Canon Speedlight, for Nikon SB-600, SB-800, SB-900 Flash, Canon Speedlite 380EX, 430EX, 430EX II, 550EX, 580EX, 580EX II, Vivita Flash, Sunpack, Nissin,Sigma, Sony, Pentax, Olympus, Panasonica Lumix < -- so I can take outdoor portraits with my 430ex.
2. Amazon.com: Cowboystudio 16in Photography Beauty Dish For Canon Nikon EX430, EX580, SB800, SB600: Camera & Photo <--- in case I needed a bigger fill light outdoor.
3. Amazon.com: CowboyStudio NPT-04 4 Channel Wireless Trigger for External Speelights with 1 Trigger and 2 Receivers (NPT-04+extra receiver): Camera & Photo <--- to use for the above 2 items
4. Amazon.com: Neewer 110CM 43" 5-in-1 Collapsible Multi-Disc Light Reflector: Camera & Photo <--- self explanatory
5. Amazon.com: Fancierstudio 3000 Watt Digital Video Continuous Softbox Lighting Kit 9026S3 Fancierstudio: Camera & Photo <--- I know I know...I wish I have a time machine. But I really wanted some light for the studio, and since I'm a noob, I thought these would be easy to use. Can I just buy good strobes and still use the same setup? What's a good strobe on Amazon?
I'm sorry for all the links, but I've been spending quite a bit of money, and my next few purchases, I want to do it right. So any help is SOOOOO greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much masters. =)
