Breh can you recommend any lighting equipment your studio uses?

I'm split between coppin several Yongnuo 560's and throwin a softbox on top of them bishes, but then I started looking at them alien bees

What I've seen so far from work. Every set has the following:
Profoto Giant Silver 210 Reflector
Canon EOS 1D with a 85mm lense. I'm assuming 1.2
PocketWizard Plus III Transceiver
A bunch of other lighting that I didn't get close enough to see.

Sorry for the poorly taken pics.

you ever use your b800's outside or just keep it in the studio?

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BXA7N6A...TF8&colid=2X6AVBGXD4L8W&coliid=I1KUDESJKP381N

This thing right here is getting compared to the $400 speedlights from canon/nikon (except there is no ttl) Im really tempted to cop 4 of em and put 2 inside a softbox and call it a day for my inside shooting.

Not sure what to pull the trigger on

The reviews say they fail sometimes, as long as you arent getting paid for the shoot when it fail then you should be good, or with the money you save just grab 2-3 just in case one fails

I have the nik collection and the ones from topaz labs, I havent really used them like that tho...what other plug ins are good?

I was thinking about getting the DxO optics pro, but I never really looked into it until you brought up plug ins

I don't really know what a "good" price range would be? But $200-$450. Is that too low?

The T3i for under $400 is probably the best bang for your buck
