sharokin_isayo2 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 <p>I'm looking for a compact light modifier to use on my B1's for shooting couple portraits at weddings. I only plan on taking one of the B1's to a wedding to keep the weight down.<br>Currently own a PF beauty dish (too big and top heavy on the B1) and two reflectors, the magnum and 7" grid. <br>Thanks!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis_vener_photography Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Chimera 30" Octa 2 beauty dish. High end light qualities and collapsible for easy transportation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharokin_isayo2 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 <p>Looks nice though pretty pricey ($500) with the dedicated speed ring.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheldonnalos Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 <p>I like the Elinchrom 27.5" baby deep octa. I've used it on several weddings and it's a very versatile modifier. Compact and portable too.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis_vener_photography Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 That's a good one too. They compliment each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin_mattson1 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 <p>The Octa 2s also look surprisingly good with a Speedlite driving them. If you ever need a more run-and-gun approach, it's a nice way to be light and mobile while still getting attractive light.</p> <p>It's also worth noting the octa ring works with the regular boxes, so you're effectively getting two speedrings in one.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharokin_isayo2 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 <p>I ended up going with the Profoto 3.0 Rfi since I couldn't find an Elinchrom PF speed ring available anywhere.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
