Brings up another question. Who shoots 'tethered' to their laptop in live mode? Advantages/Disadvantages (other than the obvious cord to trip on) ?
Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply. Much appreciated.  |
Yes, IMHO 2 strobes and your choice of light modifier (soft box, brolly box, umbrella) is sufficient to start for churning out content. You can also go with simply one strobe, and couple that with a reflector for the fill light. But IMHO going with 2 strobes to start really helps to produce content quickly.
I have nothing against wireless, the only reason I am using a sync cable is because it works fine for me in small hotel room environments. When I shoot in bigger studios I just rent a pocket wizard for $5. I am thinking of getting the Cactus v5 though.
