Well I have a 430II but I don't know what to call them so anyways.


I just picked up a ab800 with 3 grids and a reflector I can not wait to get home so I can try it out!!!

Yay! Just curious, how you plan on using it? People? Product? Might determine your next modifier. I have a feeling you are going to want something to soften the light ie: softbox, umbrella, etc.

Congratz...welcome to the club. Now...your wallet will be empty...your dreams filled with lighting set ups...and get use to the word "no"....a lot.

"Come on baby I just want to try one more lighting set up before we go to bed tonight...."

"It's 2 in the morning dear....no."

He needs both! I got rid of the other Bees though. Still kept the SoftlighterII though. Might be a little big for his room though to be honest. Maybe a small umbrella or softbox?

Oh and Jake you might want to grab a reflector till you can get another bee.

Something like http://www.bhphotovide​o.com …_in_1_Reflector​_Disc.html (external link).

Can even get a stand to hold it for you later. I bought mine (though larger) before I even got my Bees and still use it frequently. I'm sure everyone else can testify, It helps even with multiple lights. You'll use it for quite some time I'm sure. Can even use it to shoot THROUGH as a diffuser.
