Hi all and Happy Holidays to my CR Friends.
I received a B&H gift card, and would like to apply it towards a mono light.
I am new to Monolights and don't even know what features are most important.
Here is information to help with recommendations:
Gear to use it with 5DII, 5DIIIm 1DXII, 600-EX-RT X 2, ST-E3-RT.
I want a monolight with AC/DC (battery) so it could be portable.
I want the monolight to be completely compatible with the 600-EX-RT
The monolight must be durable, and have light that can be replaced if needed.
Effective Modeling light
Powerful enough and fast recycling time.
I'm not sure how fast is fast enough for flash duration
Good quality, durable
Ability to use diffusers etc.
I want a monolight that will be useful well into the future, and be upgradeable if appropriate.
I woiuld like to spend around $600.00 =/- if possible.
I welcome and greatly appreciate input about contending products, and thank you for your time and expertise.
Happy Holiday season to all
Scott
