Saber Strip?

I've seen some nice results with this new product or new to me at least. Anyone on here been using them. Would love some feedback because I'm thinking about getting one.

I know what you were watching earlier..or at least I'm guessing you were watching the live "Lighten up and shoot" workshop.

Yessir. You liking the workshop? I love Creative Live.

I watched a bit, I was told it was on street photography by the person who linked me to it, but I still learned.

It is. They did some recorded stuff on the street. They just can't do a live workshop on the street with the limits of streaming on a location among other issues. Day 3 tomorrow.

Hm, well I was told I didn't miss anything but setup yesterday, and all I saw was studio lighting today, I'll check in tomorrow.

Just another fong dong, IMO, but some people seem to like them.

I searched and nothing came up. Thanks. Prolly the space in between.

Why not use strip box? How much power this thing puts put? Strobist is all cool but sometimes (hell most times) raw power rules.

Yeah, I was just curious. I think I'm going to stick with my umbrellas and softlighters. I do want a beauty dish or softbox though.

Whilst I agree with you, their is a time and a place for everything.

Does anybody need a saber strip? No.

Can I think of times when it would be useful and NO OTHER MODIFIER can do a smilar job? Yes.

Maybe you can show some examples where only saber strip will work.

I like mine, though I haven't been using it lately. Heck, I haven't even been really shooting lately. I need to get off my a$$! But yeah, the saberstrip. No, you don't NEED one. It's just a cool toy. It's somewhere between a soft and hard light source. I say, if you find yourself using pretty much only hotshoe flashes, and want a quick and easy psuedo strip light then go for it. If you're already into some larger strobes, then maybe the cheetahstand strip box would be a wiser and more versatile choice. Just make absolute sure that your flashes are a compatible fit. I saw the name lumopro on their list and didn't even think about the lp120. All's I got are a nikon sb-25, a lp-160, and a 430 exII. Only my 430 fits.
