Impact monolights...good choice?!?!
I've never used Impact, but when you get the money, get yourself some Photogenics. They are freaking fabulous. Sep 07 08 11:50 pm Link Saul Felix wrote: haha true that. I bought a sheet of shinny aluminum and it works good as a reflector. Sep 07 08 11:50 pm Link SRNP wrote: Yeah... would be a good choice.

But now, i do the shoot which includes makeup and hair, cd and prints so im charging for those things. So that equals paid tfcd. You pay for your hair,makeup,cd of all pictures and prints.

Sep 08 08 12:06 am Link Just a few more differences between the Impacts and the Bees. The Impact VSD monolight has variable power output from full to 1/8 power (3 stops). Alien Bees are variable from full to 1/32 power (5 stops). The impact VSD160 monolight has 2 reviews on the B&H web site. One very good, one very bad. Alien Bees are designed to work at voltages less than 120VAC, and switch to a lower recharge rate at lower voltages. This allows more strobes than you would expect to be attached to their Vagabond II battery unit. The impacts are not speced to work below 110 V. The impacts are heavier, 3.5 lbs, vs 2.5lbs for the AB 400. The impacts cost less. Sep 08 08 12:16 am Link |
