Ah yeah thats whats up! Hopefully all parts will be on this weekend
I won't be one of the cheapest.. I can tell you that now.. I've been doing this for over 13 yrs now (photography and photoshop).. I'm not going to break anyone, but I won't be on the discount list either.. I guarantee my work and the lengths I go to for my customers will garner my prices though..
FOR REAL!!!! No Juju allowed on set.. LMAO!

Those are hardly portable though. They weigh a ton.

they are portable... if you leave them in the back of a pick up 
I'm sure a strong guy like twalls can lug one of those around!
btw, I've had to move them at work, I know how heavy they are.

Yea so have I, they are not fun to move into a 4 post rack by yourself. My pinky finger is still pissed at me for dropping that big beast on it! hahaha
I've found a solution... The Alien Bees Vagabond II is capable of supporting my strobes..

Shortcomings are that it HAS to remain 100% charged at all times, as it'll lose charge just sitting there, and begin sulfating (memory) and not able to hold as much of a charge. It's also about 10 lbs.
But they're coming out w/ a new version that weighs only 3.5 lbs and has a lithium ion battery so no sulfating. It also has just as much power and lasts just as long.
The Vagabond Mini..

Only drawback to this is that they're in production of these now, and they don't "anticipate" shipping till mid-late NOVEMBER!!!! I wanna shoot NOW.. I guess till November, I'll be limited to shooting where there's an outlet available..
Or I'll be using my speedlights as I have in the past since they're battery powered..
