I have an opportunity to purchase a smith victor FL280 KIT. I have a canon 20d camera. I would like to set up a small studio in about a 15x20 space. Being a novice would this be a good kit to start with?

this kit is really nice and portable .i think the price is good for three light kit. i think you could battery pack and shoot on location.

Yeah its a heck of a deal. $929 at B&H. I bought the FL130 thinking I did not need this much power sine the 20D with a 2.8 is fast and sharp.

After I bought the FL130, I bought the specific parts I wanted such as 28x28 boxes, and such, I have everything I need now!...price tag...$1500...I should have purchased the fl280!

I bought a 300ws head, a heavy duty boom, 28x28box, 16x16 box, 45" halo seperate. Dont get me wrong, I love the eas of setup of the wescott boxes, but pricewise, the 280 is much cheaper.
