You might be surprised at how many photo assignments you can handle with a compact, lightweight monolight like the Impact VS-LCD400 400W Digital Monolight. It's got 400w/s of power in an easily transportable package, and light output that can be varied in 1/10-stop stages over a 4-stop range, accessible through the digital readout. The 100W modeling light can be coupled to the flash, getting brighter or dimmer to match the actual light output, or independently set to the level you want. The monolight accepts Bowens monolight reflectors and head accessories. It also has a limited Auto Dump function, firing the strobe when you reset to a different power level (so the strobe is automatically set to the correct setting for the next flash). A built-in optical slave allows the monolight to be triggered using another flash. Perfect for portraits, small still-lifes, and much more.
The Impact EX100A is an economical 100 watt/second monolight with modeling light and power variator. This kit includes a softbox with mounting ring, to soften the light output. The air cushioned light stand supports it all up to a height of 8 feet.
This is an Impact Convertible Boom Arm/Light Stand. As a light stand, it can support a small or medium light head to a height of 13' (4 m). Raise the second section completely, click, and it is a boom stand.
As a boom, it can hold a small light head to an extension of almost 3' from the center of the stand.
It is a reflector holder by means of its two clips, which can support an Impact, Flexfill, or Photoflex light disc as large as 60".
A hole at the end of the arm allows an optional counterweight to be hung, for greater stability.
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.
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.
