    Studio Light Pack Suggestions

    in Lighting Equipment

    Posted

    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!

    Considering adding a Speedlight to my kit

    <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>

    <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>

    Questions:<br>

    How do I attached the flash to a stand?<br>

    Do I need a transmitter or anything to connect with the flash?<br>

    If I want to go for a 2 flash system how do they interact?</p>

    Does the flash need any extra battery pack?

    <p>I'd like a soft box, but is there anything comparable or better?<br>

    If I were to use a oft box how to I connect the flash to the stand to the box?</p>
