no more details, just enter this link and try to choose good kit based on features and price [try to make it at range $1000-2000, if you telling to add lil few for something worth i can otherwise keep that range, i know there are may great kit with higher than $2500-3000, but i hope you all can choose something cheaper, and as you all see, i searched for kit that power of 1000Ws or above [I am looking for average 1500Ws].

This is the one I use and I have been very happy with it. I especially like the 300 watt modeling lights. They make it easy to see what you are going to get with the flash. You will want to get acouple of Pocket Wizards as well. Many here have thier favorite brand, but I was very impressed with the quality of the Hensels.

Thank you very much.
In fact this kit was one of tempting studio lighting kit i was looking for, but it is out of stock now.
What about Bowens model at the first page which is with 3 heads total 1500Ws, come at price $1994, is that one is good too? If so i may get this one and we have famous local store selling this brand [Bowens] beside Multiblitz, and i can add heads later if i want, but truely i am towards Hensel mostly.

You could always order the Hensel 2 light kit. Then order an extra light at the same time. I think the 500w is about $500.00, so the price would be close to the same as the 3 light kit. The soft box is small and not that needed.

I am very happy with the Hensels. You may get differences in opinions from others here in the USA because there are other more popular brands and Hensel accessories may cost a bit more and be in short supply here. However; worldwide Hensel is a very well known and respected brand.

someone on another forum or here maybe said that Hensel is the most expensive system anyway [If not, maybe one of the most expensive then at least].
I want to get Hensel as it is great quality and the results i saw somewhere is OH LA LA, so if i can afford it in mid range cost [Say mostly $2500] then i can go for it, but as i told you, i hope to get 4 heads with hight power, i want to use that F8-F22 with ISO 50-100, i can use high iso and wide open aperture and even slow shutter speed but i hope i can use those settings then i need high light for sure, and don't foget 2 lights for main and Fill in frond to the side [45 degree angle], one for hair, and one for background, i am sure many will telling me i don't need all that but i like to use that if so for more entertainment and enjoy, not always i have to do what others do with few little things i may NEED to use huge more things, so with 2 heads i know i can do head and full body portraits but if i want to make it more professional then i am sure i will need more, so if you have any idea or opinion just tell me, i posted that link as i am sure someone can choose me good kit which will be more than enough for long time and i can do my job in portraits or product/commercial, Fashion/Glamour perfectly.
