Off Camera Flash for Church Concert?

A friend ask if I would shoot a Christmas Musical for pay. I haven't done for pay before. I am feel so unconfident that I said "you don't have to pay."

I want to shoot the event for the experience. I just shot a reception with the two 430s slaves to the 580 with mixed results. However, there was a white tent looking fabric ceiling to bounce off of at the reception hall. I don't yet know what I will encounter at the church. I'm firing the 430s with 580 that is on camera.

I have searched for light stand, softbox kits as an idea as to how to attempt the feat.

I would appreciate any suggestions. The deal is 12/9. So if I need to get something, the clock is ticking.

Thanks,

David

Here's the perfect time to pick up the Pocketwizards you've been wanting.

It looks like you'll need a couple of bucks to pick up 3 triggers and a couple of superclamps.

Touche'

I do have a Cybersync transmitter and 1 receiver. Seems like they were pretty reasonable. What about the superclamps? Do I have to buy a hot shoe adapter?

Hey, if you can afford PWs more power to you!

I can't!

I couldn't either. And the eBay units at the time were too unreliable for paid work. It was a toss up between the Skyports and Cybersyncs. Since I already had AB radio units I just upgraded them to the Cybersyncs. I've not regretted that move.

what about the super clamps? Would I need an adapter the mount the flash to it?

Thanks

You need a hot shoe adapter for each speedlight. FlashZebra can fix you up with those.

Here is an example. It is not a superclamp, just a spring clamp I modified, but the picture does show the umbrella adapter, hot shoe adapter and the Skyport receiver.

Hope this helps.
