Default Canon 580EX II Speedlight for outdoor portraits

Hello everyone,

I've been shooting location shots with my alienbee strobes for a long time and I love the high contrast and deep blue skies I can get when shooting models. I'm trying to lighten my load a bit, so I bought a tripod mount and pocket wizard mount for my speedlight to mount on a light stand. I also bought a white umbrella for diffusion.

Does anyone have experience shooting outside with a setup like this? Any pros/cons? Tips/tricks?

Would love your feedback.

Thanks!
Eric
