You might look at this one ... http://cgi.ebay.com …ain_0&hash=item​2ea9909a25 (external link). The adapter is heavy duty and might fit your Genesis. Comes with a grid also ... very nice.

Thanks for the suggestion but Ive decided to make due using my beauty dish with my Vivitars for now......Now that I know that the diffusion sock makes little difference in the light quality (thanks to Rob(TMR)) I can eek out all the power in that flash.

Im using one of those umbrella softbox things.....Im hoping the 60" size isnt too unwieldy......

Unfortunately the 60" is a bit large, it is a bit unwieldy, it can be a bit awkward with "domestic" ceilings............

But you done good :D !!

You'll love it, I have the Softlighter in 60", and while it is all of the above it's just awesome, don't believe people who says "Size doesn't matter".........

We all know it does :D :D

I just want to take nice photographs of people.

Yeah, I was looking at that one. Do you own one?

Fellow Dallasite. What part of town are you in?

Yes, I just received this unit. Nice, actually. The finish is a bit soft but overall I am very happy. Sad part is for us folks in Texas is sales tax. The seller is great (per his ratings). I'm in North Dallas/Plano. You?

THanks, I contemplated getting the 48" version but I figured I had a 40" brolly box already so why no go with the larger box for better full body coverage.

I got a shoot coming up in a boxing gym with 5 models so be able to put it thru its paces......

newnan3, where'd you get the beauty dish, is it a double flash (can't tell from the pic).

Got it here

It works fine with my vivitars but unfortunately I dont think I can mod it to work with my Genesis monolight.

I kind of want a bigger one


Don't try to confuse me with the facts, my mind is already made up.

Here is my studio. It's in my one car garage right now. We plan on buying a bigger house which I will have to take in account room for the setup. I posted it earlier, but I've cleaned it up and made it better.

2 Genesis 200 Strobes, 430EX for rim and some cheapo ebay strobe as a hair light, rigged at the top. My practice head, his name is harry with a Joe Elliot wig.

^ you can notice that you were trying to make the background darker in photoshop. I highly suggest you get your monitor calibrated or get yourself an IPS panel monitor.

But cool little studio :)

Thanks!

You have just confirmed what I have felt for a while! I really need to stop procrastinating and calibrate the monitor!

IMHO, the hair light is a bit much too. It's becoming a halo rather than separation, but maybe that's what you were going for. I'll be quiet now.

@ ClayKerri
What backdrop and stand do you have? How much and from where? That looks like the perfect size I could use in my dining room. If you dont mind sharing info.
