[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 667652, member: 43545"] What sort of corporate events? What sort of venue and the distance to subjects? Are these events in the same venue or just seeking general information? The second one works pretty well in a not of environments where there good reflective surfaces to the sides and rear walls when point the diffuser straight up so all the walls act as reflective light sources so shadows are greatly reduced. That works best in an office than a large venue or convention. They show in one of the photos that diffuser disk pointed to the subject and that is not as effective, it is too small a light source to tackle the hard shadow problem. If you are just needing headshots, the low cost folding softbox of 40cm x 40cm work well it held close to the subject. I have a couple of them and they are quite effective if close. If your camera and lenses are not too heavy you can hold the softbox/flash by a handle using your left hand and shoot with your right. I can do it for a couple hours using a gripped D800 with 24-70 2.8 mounted but it is tiring shooting with one hand. A little 85 1.8 would be the perfect headshot lens and lower the weight a 3lbs. A 50 1.8G would be almost as good and even lighter. [/QUOTE]
