Ive been thinking about doing 2 Alien Bee B800s? Would you guys recommend that? Or are there any other great options out there. Also what all is needed to get a setup like that to work with your camera? It depends. What type of car shots are you looking to do? How will the photos be used?

Mar 02, 2011 20:22 | #4 Ya I would like to get 3 but i might have to make do with 2 for a little while. I would be doing a mix of different types of shots, not sure what you mean by that. Canon 7d

The RF-602's have been touted as good and reasonable. Personally, I have used the EL Skyports and Cybersync's to trigger my Alien Bees. 39 basketball games in the last two weeks using the Cybersyncs and two AB 1600's. One CST transmitter and one CSRB receiver for each strobe.

What is the best transponder setup to get with these? 2-3 B800's Kevin Chu Photography
