I've been in the market for a speedlite light modifier for a while now. This will be my "one light" for location photography (mostly outdoors with models) as well as an additional light in the studio (along with strobes I have).
I have come up with the following shopping list. Since it's about (for US users) $600 worth of stuff, I'd like to hear opinions by others on whether this is a good idea or if you would get something else within my budget.
- Avenger A4041B 13.5' Alu Boom Stand 41 (Black)
- Manfrotto 026 Swivel Umbrella Adapter (Lite-Tite)
- Lastolite Ezybox II Speedlight Bracket
- Lastolite Ezybox II Square, Large (35.5 x 35.5")
- Yongnuo YN-622C (pair)
My logic is that this will give me a flexible, sturdy, large-ish source of light powered by two 580EX flashes I already own.
That said, $600 is a lot for a single light modifier setup and perhaps I'm overlooking better alternatives. I'd really, really appreciate your comments. Thank you.
