I'm basically looking for the smallest monolight possible, preferably one that's cheap. An Alien Bee may be too big. Are there any monolights out there that are about the size of a dynalite or Speedotron brownline head?


My village called. I was told that they missed me.

Speedotron users, untie!

Do you really need the modeling light? I've used these for decades, & you can get 4 for $33!

It does need a modeling light and sync port. It'll be connected to a camera without a flash and I want to be able to either buy a cheap beauty dish for it or make a similar unit. It's for a photo booth.
