this was originally created for the Marlboro Man Ad Campaign in the 80s. I just happened to now be in possession of this soft box.

Fair enough. Makes sense to me. I had not thought about renting it. I appreciate that suggestion.

What I have tentatively proposed to do is to mount it to a small trailer. It is much easier to move around, transport, and store on a small trailer. What I plan to shoot with it are: 1. cars/trucks on location 2. aircraft on location

It has a frame in which you insert up to 5 heads in the top. The strobes just run off of the power boxes they come with. There are two power boxes for illustration in the photo.

It was included in a purchase of a commercial photographers entire lot of equipment. I purchased 3 van-loads of equipment (to include this as something that I did not know until the purchase was finalized) for a stupidly low price. So, it was not part of the original decision-making process. I appreciate the input, William.

Bottom line up front: I recently purchased a giant lot of equipment and I am now in possession of a unique item that I am not sure what to do with. The item in question is a 1200lb, rollerized, cantilevered, counterbalanced soft box set up extendable up to 16 ft tall. When I hook up the lights I have, I can output 8000 w/s of power. *Photos attached* It was created by a Boeing engineer and used in some of the Marlboro Man ad campaign. I know things I want to use it for however.... it is 1200lbs and I would have to rent a trailer for every use. Then comes the storage of the beast. Or I could sell it to someone who could utilize it more practically. Either way, I just need some back and forth on this. To start the conversation: Q: Why? A: I am not sure yet. The concept is awesome. Q: What do I shoot? A: Currently, I shoot mostly military stuff, a bit of air-to-air, and am about to get into large format work of landscapes, architecture, and fine art. Q: What the hell can I shoot with 8000w/s of light? A: All of Spokane, WA I think. Ok, go. Thanks, ya'll.
