  1. Hi all, I am looking to have a second offsite studio. I am shooting mostly product photography and I've been using Norman 4-5 lh2400b heads and two Norman p2000d packs. The norman stuff is crazy durable, but I never move it so that isn't really an issue. I want to stick with heads and packs for the new studio. What I am looking for is a system that I could use use for multiple years. Since I'm used to the power of the current setup, I'd like somthing compareable. I'd also like to start with 3-4 heads. I'm now trying to figure out what brand I should go with since I've had some age issues with my norman kit and would like something a bit newer. Also, I don't want to go crazy on the cost because I have to completely outfit a whole new studio. Also any suggestions for wall mount over head booms and large soft boxes. Any opinions are welcome!
  2. <p>All very helpful.<br> Yes, shoots in garages or living room-sized space with occasional outdoor scenes. When I said "indoor 'in-use' product shots", I may have been better off saying lifestyle images with models; focusing less on the products and more on the lifestyle. These shoots being maybe once a month probably within a 50 mile radius from me.</p>
  3. <p>Yup. They were helpful, but another member suggested posting here as well. Just looking for any help I can get.</p>
  4. <p><br />I am not an expert, but just starting to learn and I want to add a speedlight to my kit, but I don't know where to start. Im tyring to take some indoor 'in-use' product shots.<br />I have a Canon 6D and was suggested the Canon 430eX III RT. That speedlight seems good from what I've read, but I'm not for sure. Additionally, I have no idea what I would need to to be able to use it off camera. I'm looking for any suggestions.<br> <br />Questions:<br />Really know very little able triggers and such... Do I need a transmitter or anything to connect with the flash? And which style is recommended?<br> I'm starting with 1 off camera flash, but if I want to go for a 2 flash system how do they interact/ does a 2 flash off-camera system make sense?<br> Does a off-camera flash need any extra battery?<br> Thinking about a soft box because I'm used to them, but should i just start with an umbrella or similar first?<br> <br />Looking for recommendations on light stands, soft boxes, umbrellas, transmitter, flash mount, or anything else I need.<br> Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!</p>
