I’m curious how many real estate photographers offers different quality levels of photos and if so how they differentiate them? For example, with a 24 photo package it seems like it would be a good idea to offer 4 to 6 “magazine” quality shots for the most important areas like kitchen, master bed, exterior, pool, etc… For me these would be shot using 3 to 5 flash/umbrella kits where necessary. Maybe some extra time in post to make them perfect. Then, for the rest of the photos just use ambient light and maybe a single flash/umbrella and less time in post. I also offer Matterport, where the scans are decent and usable, but in most instances not comparable to a “magazine” quality shot due to lighting and the fact it needs to be shot from about 5’ high which is not optimal in many instances.

So I decided to go with 3 YONGNUO YN560 IV. I was tempted to go with the Nikon SB-25, but I liked the idea of 560 having the built in optical trigger. Below is what I've order so far. Tenergy TN438 16-Bay Auto-detect AA/AAA NIMH/NICD LCD Built-in IC protection Smart Intelligent Battery Charger With AC Wall Adapter And Car Adapter YONGNUO YN560 IV Wireless Flash Speedlite Master + Slave Flash + Built-in Trigger System for Canon Nikon Pentax Olympus Fujifilm Panasonic Digital Cameras w/ 3 year protection plan Yongnuo Professional Flash Trigger RF-603 II N3 for Nikon w/ 2 year protection plan Any recommendation on brands or kits for the stands, mounts, and umbrellas. I've looked on amazon for kits selling all 3 together but them seem almost too cheap. Most are offering the 2 sets (stands, mounts, and umbrella) for $40 to $50. That has to be junk right? https://www.amazon.com/CowboyStudio-Doulbe-Off-Camera-Swivel-Umbrella/dp/B008S1W19Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1507680118&sr=8-1&keywords=flash+umbrella+kit&refinements=p_89:CowboyStudio Impact Digital Flash Umbrella Mount Kit DFUMK B&H Photo Video In the short term, I wouldn't mind having a single better quality set (stands, mounts, and umbrella) that will be easy to use, and stand up to some abuse vs multiple cheaper sets. Thanks again for all your help.... and Kent that steam engine pic is awesome!

Would this work with my camera? a set of PocketWizard Plus X Transceiver 2 Pack ($269 on Amazon). If found this disclaimer on the pocket wizard site but I'm not really sure what it means. Plus III Operational Considerations: 1) Nikon Cameras with MC-DC2 ports do not provide half-press, or full press output through the MC-DC2 port. This means that any camera using an N-MCDC2-ACC cable won't be able to provide the "half press your remote camera from the camera in your hand" operation when using the shutter release button. This affects the following cameras: D90 D7000 D5100 D5000 D3100 Note: This does NOT impact half-press or full-press INPUT to the camera, as this works just fine with the N-MCDC2-ACC cable on a remote camera. If that does work what flashes would be the best to work off of that. So at least one of the flashes should have a built in optical slave.

Thanks Gary and Ben. I can maybe swing $700 to get started. If I need to I can go with only 2 flashes for now and even go without the stands for now as long as the flashes can stand on their own (on a table top or door). I definitely want to get a couple of flashes and whatever I need to connect them to a Nikon 3100. I've read up on the flash techniques and such but I haven't seen much info on the actual equipment and how it connects to my specific camera (3100) which does not have a built-in flash commander Ben, option 4 is out for now and I really don't want a wired system because I'd be walking around the house from room to room and that's not practical for my needs. Would option 1 and 2 both require a flash mounted on the camera? Would my 3100 camera built in flash trigger the other flashes? For option 3... I would need a radio transmitter connected to the camera with a receiver connected to the main flash (off camera)...and that flash would trigger the other flashes?

I’m trying to figure out what flash equipment I need for taking indoor real estate photos. I have a nikon 3100 now, but I’m planning on upgrading to a D600 soon so ideally the equipment should be good for either. I’m looking to have at least 3 wireless off camera flashes to start and looking to spend less than $500 (for new) for everything. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I need to connect my 3100 with wireless flashes? I’m still learning and don’t know much at all about slaves, transmitters, i-TTL, etc…) so please be as specific as possible. Ideally this system will work without using my build in camera flash and the off camera flashes can stand on their own or on a stand.
