[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 406610, member: 12257"] Only going with one stand/modifier/flash set-up for now, and figured for the price, a 9' would get me short or tall as needed. Plus, looking over local shops, the taller stands are built to be sturdier (guessing as offset for the height/balance). Thinking it might go outside a time or two, that and a couple of sandbags made sense. As for the flash, the first set up will already by my SB700, but using it in manual mode. Future flashes, looking at either the Younguos or Lumopros, but that's a bit off into the future. I've also got a large reflector I can work with, for now. Any reason why you would suggest the smaller umbrellas, though? The 50" is only about 45" edge to edge, so isn't TOO huge, but I'm curious... Yup, been looking at soft-boxes too, but through I'd start with a shoot-through umbrella which can probably duplicate the effect somewhat. I've got my Fong for on-camera use, too, which does a decent soft-box imitation. What stand did you end up going with? [/QUOTE]
