how is this Speedotron kit?
 
I have been looking to build my own studio for quite some time now and happened to stumble upond this kit by Speedotron.
http://www.vistek.ca/store/ProPhotoS...ht-system.aspx

its got everything i need except for a couple of softboxes.
heres what i have built so far...
1- http://www.vistek.ca/store/ProPhotoS...ht-system.aspx power source

2- http://www.vistek.ca/store/ProPhotoC...0-monolig.aspx speedrings for chimera boxes

1- http://www.vistek.ca/store/ProPhotoL...rge-54x72.aspx main light

1- http://www.vistek.ca/store/ProPhotoL...ium-36x48.aspx fill light(NOT SURE ABOUT THIS, COULD USE A REFLECTOR...?)


What do you guys think of this kit as indoor/outdoor full body shooting? has anybody ordered from Vistek before? I am putting a lot of money down for this setup($3338.80) and would like to get some feedback before i start dumping all my cash :(

TIA

How big is your studio space? Depending on how low you can go with the power output, this kit may be way too powerful for what you need.

I have a space of a 1 car garage. I like the power for outdoor shooting but thats going to be rare, I will be doing mostly full body shots.

bowens and calumet make some great starter kits, I've had some personal experience with quad x lights and a bowens 1500 explorer (great portable kit although quite heavy) and currently use bowens espirit which can be purchased for not much more for 1k used.
