I'm looking for some pretty beginner kit right now. |
I have 2x the shoot through umbrellas (got them off ebay) and they're pretty good, they work well in diffusing the flash. Not really sure if they're as good as a softbox, haven't used one before. But they do they're job.
If you're looking at getting remote triggers, I'd get the RF-602s if you're on a budget. Also look into getting their flashes as well like the YN460-II. They're decent quality and they do their job.
Just started doing strobist stuff and my kit right now is:
2x lighstands
2x shoot through umbrellas
5in1 reflector
YN460-II
1x RF-602 Tx 2x Rx
SB600
Cost me about $150 minus the SB600. I guess its a pretty hefty "noob tax", but theres no way I can dish out almost 3x the amount for a pro level kit. I've got everything I need to just play around
