Well, I finally did it. I bought (1) White Lightning X3200, (2) AB1600's, (1) PocketWizard TT1 Mini, (3) PocketWizard TT5 Flex, (3) PocketWizard AC9, (1) PocketWizard AC3 zone-controller, (2) air-cushioned light stands, a bag to carry it all, (2) metal umbrella adapters, a mola to alienbees speedring, (1) 47" foldable octabox, (2) 14" x 60" foldable strip boxes, (1) Vagabond Mini Lithium battery, (1) high output sports reflector.

I think I'm good to go. Now I can shoot sports AND portraits! 😁

Nice setup. I would love to have something like that. But I am not a pro, so I need to really get using the lighting stuff that I have before I stat buying more. There is an WL3200 on c-list right now. Been sitting there a while. Would blow the socks off my AB800. Question, why did you go with pock wizard instead of the CyberSync? Good luck with the new gear.

What a piss-off! I've been searching for a used X3200 for months. Go figure. The day after I buy new, someone finally says something.
