Since I started shooting head shots in offices, I have really come to appreciate the versatility of battery powered speed lights. Not only are they just as good as AC strobes, they are a heck of a lot easier to carry which is a really big deal for me. The less trips I make from my SUV to the clients office the better.
I have 3 Vivitar 285′s, and I pop the main with a Quantum radio transmitter and the other two with Wein hot shoes. ( I dont need 1000′ of range in an office)
I’m all set up now to start using my Photoflex FV-SODXS222KT Octodome nxt: Extra Small Kit with Octoconnector, Shoe Mount, Heavy Duty Aluminum Swivel
small lighting kit as my main light, and one 285 for backdrop and another 285 for separation.
