Also, the school may ask you for a certificate of insurance for liability reasons in the event someone runs them over or they fall from their supports. Chris Anderson

So im thinking about using 2x ab1600's + 2x sb800's to light Half of a football field.... ab's mounted high about the 30 yd line facing end zone and the sb's a bit lower and comming from near the end zone for a bit of cross light ..... any thoughts ? I would think it would be two much of a liability - But if you could figure a way to place them safely, it would be interesting. But I don't think the ab1600's would be enough. ...............

I'm thinking it would be with the stadium lights on? I'm not sure it would be enough ...............

Whoever it was had more setup images and all that and talked about he did need to get liability insurance by the schools demand. Freelance Photographer & Co-founder of Four Seam Images

I have 2 800's but I would need to probably get some portable power for them. I would also consider getting 2 more 1600's as well.
