Martin or Tony or anyone. I've been asked to do some portrait shots for corporate. I don't have much gear for lighting. Any suggestions on the inexpensive side? Another flash like the 600 ex-rtII and an umbrella? Beauty dish or led ring light? Or something else? Thanks.

Tony's umbrellas look good and his setup shots should show you how to do it, if you need a flash check out the Godox line, way cheaper than Canon and more powerful

Thanks for the info guys.

I heard of Godox. I'll look into it.

Tony I hope no one you know was hurt in the shooting, what a terrible tragedy

What about this? It's a bit cheaper.

What's the difference between the two? One is more portable?

the one I posted is more powerful and can be used as a bare bulb unit more like a strobe, useful if you decide to go the portrait route with your shooting, the V860 is a nice unit that will control more Godox flashes remotely I have one but I also have a dedicated strobe light

Most likely white. Probably get some cheap foam boards as bg.

Better deal since cheaper and exactly the same (non-TTL version)

AD200 is an interesting piece of kit. More powerful and versatile with the exchangeable heads (flash, bare, led). Might be too much for my current needs.

Eyeing the flashes v860ii or tt685. I think they're exactly the same except for the batteries. Then there's the transmceivers X1T that looks interesting.

There's also modifiers like umbrellas or beauty dishes.

I was looking at the Kacey BD and the Godox S mount for speedlite. How do you connect the mount:

with the Kacey BD?

I see four screws on the BD but how to connect to a Bowens mount (3 pegs on the side) on the Godox S mount?
