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.

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..
http://www.alienbees.com/VIIsystem.html
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..
http://www.alienbees.com/vmini.html
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..
