Cheap (and good!) strobes
Hello all,
I am listing my strobes for sale, as I have just purchased a couple alienbee b800s and no longer need these. I'm trying to work my way up to a 300mm f/2.8 lens, so I'm just trying to clear out the stuff I don't use and I figured someone on here would want them. Here's the deal. Theres three strobes, the britek bb-200's. I'm selling them cheap, but for their size and look, they actually put off a really good amount of light.
specs
-power adjustable in full, half, and quarter power
-umbrella/modifier holder built in
-comes with a reflector, 120 degrees I believe
-built in optical relay. So if they sense a flash, they will trigger. Makes studio shooting much MUCH easier.
-I do not know the exact power, sorry.

that is a pocket tripod below it, so it gives you a good idea of just how small they are. I have all three packed into my 1d box.
some images I've shot with them...

two strobes on 13' light stands pointed at the ceiling. Usually I shoot ISO 1600, f/2.8, 1/300 in this gym, and with the strobes I shot 1/500, ISO 640, f/4. As I said, these are surprisingly powerful.

so the price is $50 each, shipped. They ship w/ the reflectors, power cables, and PC sync cords. If you want all three, $135 shipped. If you know anything about lighting, you know this is a steal for strobes. I just dropped 500 on 2 alienbees, so 135 for 3 good lights is a real deal. Please PM me if you are interested.

Before anyone objects to this being a sales pitch for used gear, I just want to point out that Brent came to me before posting and asked me about it.
He's a long-time site member that has contributed to many, many forum discussions, and I figured (as did he) that those that participate in this forum might have a genuine interest in this equipment...
