THANKS
FOR VISITING. THE STUDIO SETUP GUIDE IS NOT FINISHED - IT WILL
BE COMPLETED BY MID FEB 06 WITH PICTURES AND CONTENT.
PLEASE REVISIT IN FEBRUARY.
Finally!
After years of waiting and months of research I took the big step.
I ordered the strobes and other lighting equipment for my home
studio.
Here is the list of items I ordered and received from Alien Bees.
3
AlienBees B800 Strobe - Black
3 AlienBees Carrying Bag
1 18º Fitted Honeycomb Grid
1 10-foot General Purpose Stand
2 13-foot Heavy Duty Stand
1 Large Softbox (with LGSR)
2 48” Silver/White Umbrella
It took just over a week after the order to ground
ship and came in three well packed packages. The 3 strobes were
in one 22 pound package, the second package contained the stands
and the umbrellas, and a long box carried the softbox.
Quickly I set them up. I had earlier bought the
background stand with canvas backgrounds
from eBay (about $120).
I have been very pleased with my choice - here are some of the details. |
