This monolight has a digital readout coupled with its four-stop power variator. It accepts Bowens monolight reflectors and head accessories. The VSD300 has cushioned touch-pad function control buttons. Power is adjustable in 1/10 stop increments, from full to 1/8 power. Its model light intensity may be controlled coupled to, or independent from the strobe power levels you select.
The VSD300 is available as part of several complete lighting kits. A slightly more powerful version of this light is the VSD400.

This is an Impact Back Light Stand.
Use one of its sections as a base to place a mounted light at floor or table level. Add the extension to the base to raise the height of the light to a maximum of 3' (90 cm). It is constructed of black annodized aluminum.
The Impact 24 x 32" Softbox with Silver Interior is designed for use with the Impact 160 and 300 watt/second monolights. When comparing to larger softboxes, this size will provide a light quality which is more spectral, with a faster gradation from highlight to shadow areas. 24 x 32" is best suited for a 1/2 length portrait of 1 - 2 people, or a product shot of 2 - 3 smaller-than-a-breadbox items.
The front face of this softbox can be removed for easy access to the light and the interior baffle from the front. Also, it provides the option of shooting without the front face for an increased output, more specular quality of light.
Note:Follow adapter ring mounting instructions; use "C" wand mounting holes only.
Umbrellas soften, broaden, and diminish the light output of any tungsten or flash light source. Umbrellas with a white interior will soften and weaken light more than an umbrella with a silver lining. A white umbrella without a black backing may also be used as a makeshift softbox, although the use of the light will not be as efficient as with a lightbox.
Choosing umbrella size is determined by the size of the subject, and the strength of the light supply being used. Choosing an umbrella surface is as subjective as choosing a paint and brush.
This Impact 43" White Translucent Umbrella is suggested for use in mid-length portraits for one or two persons.

The Impact Posing Table brings both speed and predictably fine results to the art of posing, adding great flexibility to the vital element of arm and hand placement of subjects.
This Impact Posing Stool is very similar, but costs less than the one named after a photographer.
This Impact Light Stand is aluminum, extends to 10 ft, and has 4 sections, with sure-twist section locks.
If you forget to tighten any section with your light mounted, the light slowly descends, thanks to the air-cushioning of this stand. This useful feature saves equipment, and fingers from harm during busy photo sessions.
The Impact 16 Channel Radio Slave Receiver is designed to trigger strobes wirelessly. This system works in tandem with most AC powered strobe packs or monolights. There are no batteries in the receiver to worry about during a busy photo shoot.
Sixteen channels offer more than ample avoidance of local radio interference, and total freedom from dragging around a sync cord. Sixteen channels also provide the opportunity to assign different groupings of lights, their own channel to be triggered by switching the channel in the transmitter that mounts on the camera's hot shoe.
This set comes with adapters for mini and monoplug sync connections.
