I recently started using The walimex pro VC-400 PLUS Studio Flash (2 pieces) in a set with the Octagon softbox and tripods. Did the combination purchased directly, do not exist here. Tripods (WT-806) and soft boxes are good, but here is not the main theme. The flashes even make a good impression. All settings can be made simply, easy to read on screen. This turns every few seconds, but when activated any button immediately active again. The performance is absolutely sufficient for a normal (home) studio. With the softbox I have to turn to the lowest power level at 2m distance (Motif diffuser) in order to, for example, work with full aperture (1.8) can! The Bowens connection there vielfältigstes accessories of reflectors, diffusers etc. The setting of the flash and modeling is done independently or synchronously, either on the device or via the (optional, I do not have) remote control. When flash is either acoustically (can be disabled) or indicated by the illumination of the modeling light. I prefer the acoustic signal, as I have during a shoot usually turned on no external illumination to have no false reflections. And then it's pretty dark without modeling! When flash is the way, depending on the selected power, reaches back to a maximum of 1-2 seconds, so normally perfectly adequate. I am absolutely satisfied with the equipment, so 5 ***** If necessary, I will supply later information.
