Hope you find one! j/k  Here's my advice to you... http://strobist.blogspot.com/ ...and read through this forum...go post to post looking for that which addresses "strobes" for outdoor use and portable. There are hundreds and hundreds of posts that talk about this. Basically...............you may want..........(I said basically because the possibilities are endless)... 2 - off camera strobes. 2 - shoot through umbrellas or 2 small softboxes. 2 - good quality stands + the hardware to attach your strobes and modifiers. 1 - transmitter. 2 - receivers. 1 - set of sandbags (the wind hates your umbrellas and softboxes and is always wanting to blow them down). The exact product choice is up to you. READ till your eyes bleed to discover why and/or if the above setup is good for you, and what exact product to buy. If you accept this challenge you are indeed serious and not just lazy and wanting someone to spoon feed you.

gonzogolf dumb remark memorialized More info | May 24, 2011 12:20 | #4 What sort of work are you planning on? Strobist kits like mentioned above are fine for work during the golden hour, but cant compete with the sun in the middle of the day. That requires more powerful powerful portable strobes like the alien bees.
