[QUOTE="STM, post: 115006, member: 12827"] I have been using Britek studio strobes for over 20 years (the same ones actually!) and they are terrific. The two 550 W/S units are in softboxes and the rest I use to illuminate backgrounds or as a hairlight with a snoot. I also use the small ones as strobes for my light tent. All have built in slaves so all I have to do is use a single RF transmitter in the hot shoe and a single receiver in one of the 550 W/S strobes. I got an RF transmitter and 4 receivers on Fleabay for about $60 and they work great. These were designed expressly for studio strobes because their PC male pin is larger than your standard camera PC male pin. When I do location work I use my two Sunpak 544's screwed into light stands (they have a standard 4-20 tripod socket in the bottom of the handle) in manual, both with another set of RF receivers and a transmitter in the hot shoe. They have worked out past 100 feet with no problems. [/QUOTE]
