So title pretty much says it.
I love how easy it is to pack up two or three Sb-800s and go anyway with a few lithium AAs. But I don't really like the light or the shadows. Sometimes it's nice to have one for events, but I find that I just don't like to use them anymore.
What I was thinking about doing was selling one or two Sb-800s and buying a battery back for my alien bees. They will be useless at most events, but I find that I get better results indoors and out, night or day and much more quickly that fumbling around with speedlites. It's not too bad to carry around, i can get up to 4 heads and stands with two foldable softboxes into a large suitcase, with two more softboxes in a carrying case. weighs about 50 or 60 pounds, but on wheels.. ehh not that bad.
If I had a battery, I could go anywhere I need to. I would just need to think more about space and such. Without softboxes, used to bounce they take up very little space.
What do you guys think?
