I didn't like the digibee package, so I made my own package. Tell me what you think and if I should +/- things from the list.

2 x B800
1 x Boom arm attachment
2 x 13 foot heavy duty stands
1 x 30" x 60" Softbox with LGVR
1 x 48" Silver/White umbrella

Total w/shipping comes to $926

    Looks great to me. I use 3 B800 for many of my shoots. The big softbox will be very nice to have as well. I'd maybe want another same umbrella if I were you in order to get even light when you want it, but otherwise HAVE FUN! I love the Alien Bees.

    I would change one of the 13' stands to the air-cushioned model.
    The boom arm is heavy and the stand makes it easier to handle.
    Good luck and have fun.

    Thanks, I"ll go back and change one of them to that.

    Quick question, with the softbox, how well does it work with the B800's? That was one of the reason's I went witht he softbox and 1 umbrella. Someone had mentioned awhile back that I should get a softbox instead of two umbrella's.

    I could, but I'm not going to worry with it for now, sync-cables will have to work. However, I will end up picking up a pocket wizard.
