Hey folks,
I would like to ask you a favor to recommend me the best idea in investing on speedlights.
First of all i was looking to buy this kit:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/475575-REG/Impact__Digital_Flash_Umbrella_Mount.html
and maybe including this:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/498738-REG/Canon_1947B001_Compact_Battery_Pack_CP_E4.html
But, i should explain some points:
1. I bought 3 umbrellas to use with my monolights, and i have 1 before, so 4 umbrellas [2 shoot-thru and 2 with black back cover]
2. I have Hensel stands [only 2] that i use it with my 500 monolights but really i don't like those stands so i may replace them with better stands for my strobes so then those 2 Hensel stands will be available for nothing or just backup.
3. i don't use umbrellas always with my strobes, if so then only 1 or 2 and i prefer with that black back cover over shoot-thru umbrella, in fact i bought that shoot-thru only to work for still life and products [but it can be used and useful for portraits as well].
4. I have a Quantum Instruments Turbo [i don't know which one but i think it is for flash only (maybe SC bu i can't remember)]
so now with those points above, is it safe to buy that kit from the link with the battery turbo? or you can reccomend me better ideas for my speedlights?
About triggering, i will think about that, but in fact i want to just use Pocket wizards and i don't care much about TTL or E-TTL or whatever.
