This is a Great starter Portrait Studio setup, for an amazing price! You'll have what you'll need to start getting great portraits (also great for product photography)! With a powerful 120WS Master strobe, you'll be able to appropriately light your victims (er, your "subjects, that is:), which will allow you to get professional-level results with the necessary interplay of light and shadow, resulting in the depth and texture characteristic of pro portraits. Also, professional strobes (like this) come with all the bells and whistles already built-in - like what, you may ask? Like Modeling Lights, (see here and here), variable power with the flip of a switch, removable and interchangeable umbrella-capable reflectors, and the capability of using an almost infinite variety of light modifiers (such as umbrellas, softboxes, SoftCases, snoots, honeycombs, etc.).

In addition, you'll have a Light Stand for your strobe, AND a Translucent "Shoot-Through" Umbrella to creatively soften the light and effectively help to hide the lines, sags, and wrinkles often found on our older victims (it makes them look younger, more vibrant, and attractive - and often results in the photographer being called names, like "Artist" and "Genius" :). Umbrellas are also great for photographing reflective surfaces; they cut down on or eliminate the "hot spots" on glass, chrome, oil paintings, and on virtually all similar reflective surfaces). And in addition, you'll also receive an umbrella-capable reflector with the strobe, and all necessary sync cords, power cords, and bulbs. Over all, this is a fabulous professionsal-level starter package which will give you what you need to start you off in portraiture or product photography, and is infinitely upgradable! Unlike other kits, this starts you at the pro level, and allows you to expand whenever you like - without being stuck with amateur equipment that you wasted your money on. And you get all this for less than one-HALF of what you'd pay for just one single strobe from a competing manufacturer (and less than a dinner would cost you at a nice restaurant - and this professional lighting equipment is absolutely guaranteed to last longer than any dinner you'll ever have ;-).

Another great photographic deal from Photographer's SupplyStation! "PhotoSource3" on eBay
Important: I just HATE IT when I buy a "kit" or "package," and then when I receive it, I discover that I can't use it because there's something else I need (usually at a substantial additional cost, too) to make it work (i.e., the "batteries not included" syndrome)! So I'd never do that to my (cherished) customers! With this fabulous package, absolutely everything is included (well, except a camera, film, and photographer, that is)! When this package arrives, all you'll have to do to start making great photographs, is open it up, unwrap your new goodies, put the strobes on the light stands, plug 'em in, point them at your favorite victims, and, baby, just like Elvis, go ahead and rock and roll (fire away)! NO additional equipment or parts are needed to start using your new studio lighting package!

This professional Strobe will work with all film cameras (APS, 35mm, 120, medium format, large format, etc.) and all  newer digital, cameras, but NOT for video cameras. Will it work with your camera(s)? It most likely will (but for digital cameras see HERE before ordering and check your manual to be sure). I get tons of e-mails asking me if this equipment will work with a certain brand of camera; so here are just a few of the MANY different camera brands that this equipment has been tested with and can use this equipment successfully: Canon, Nikon, Sony, Kodak, Olympus, and virtually ALL other major and minor brands! Thank you for visiting this auction, and may the photographic Gods smile upon you.

 Want a whole professional 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, or TEN strobe photographic lighting studio in one dynamic kit? Maybe some NEW Continuous Digital lights? Only a strobe or two? Something really, really special for the photographer you love with all your heart (like, perhaps, yourself:)? Look no further!

You can find ALL these things right now in my other auctions (except for the luscious lovely to the left; I'm gonna keep that one for myself:)

<-Looks almost like natural light, doesn't it? Not completely! Strobes made this lovely image better. The give-away? The main light looks like it's coming from the left (which it is - for the main light - a window), but look at the catch lights in her eyes! That's coming from 2 lights; one just behind and (barely) to the right of the camera, and the other just to the left of the camera From now on, whenever you're looking at pictures in magazines, notice the eyes for clues to the lighting setup - and where the catch lights appear in the models' eyes. And also pay attention to where the shadows fall in the image - shadows are just as important as the highlights. The secret to ALL magnificent images? That's an easy one; it's the LIGHTING! A photographer is a LIGHT writer! See below for more information and lotsa photographic tips and tricks...

The NEW Britek PS-200 Professional Studio Flash


The NEW PS-200 Monolight
This brand new Britek PS-200 is a great starter Monolight for the beginning professional, the pro with tight budget constraints, or the advanced amateur who is ready to bring the professional look to his or her photographs (without mortgaging the house).


Why are photogs so in love with their studios? BECAUSE (in our studios) WE CAN CONTROL THE LIGHT! And a "studio" can be a corner of any room, as long as we can CONTROL THE LIGHT. In our studios, we can play God! We can make it daytime or evening or night; we can shoot 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We can CREATE anything we can imagine - as long as we can CONTROL THE LIGHT!

After all, the word "photographer" itself (from Greek) actually means Light Writer, or "one who writes with light."

The term is meaningful because those of us who make photographs are slaves to light. Light is both our nemesis and our salvation (when we can control the light). Without the right types of lighting equipment, we can never progress to professional level studio pictures. Or location pictures.

Sure, we can make beautiful photos with available light... when the light's just right, at the exact time we need it, and at exact place we need it, if it's not raining, if it's not snowing, if it's not too cold, if it's not too hot, if it's not too dark, if everyone we need to make the photographs are available at the exact time the light's just right for our needs, under all the right conditions.... beginning to see now? When we can control the light, we can make the best photographs.

PhotoSpeak: BTW, did you notice, above, that I said "make" photographs, and not "take" pictures? Well, here's your first lesson in how pros speak about photography (photospeak): "Snapshooters" or "point and shooters," who don't think and plan their shots (e.g., most of us) are the ones who "take" pictures (the rank amateurs). Photographers "make" great photographs by careful thought, detailed planning, and, most of all, scrupulous attention to lighting. Before they even think about pressing that shutter, they "design" their photos carefully. Soon, with a little effort, you'll be "making" great photographs! It's not that hard, believe me. But ya gotta CONTROL THE LIGHT!

This little beauty cranks out a full 120 watt seconds* for mamma or poppa (or both)!

Why do photographers want powerful flash equipment (strobes)? Because (both indoors and outdoors) with strobes, WE CAN CONTROL THE LIGHT! Sound familiar? Starting to get the picture, now? (sorry, I just couldn't resist ;-)

BTW, did you realize that both the photo above, and the photo on the left, were both taken against the same background? Yup. The backdrop was a pure white canvas. Why does the picture on the left look like it has a brown background? BECAUSE I COULD CONTROL THE LIGHT. Even with a cheapie old (really old) digital Fuji (no speed control, no slr, no aperture choice, etc.). How? See the "technique section below).

Hmmm... Light!

What the heck is a "Watt Second?" And what's a "GN?"

Technique: How was I able to make the background that's in the top picture pure white, and the very same background, in the picture above, appear brown? It's easy - when you know how (it's sorta like this: What kind of question is a hard question? Answer: One you don't know the answer to. And what kind of question is an easy question? Answer: That's the one you do know the answer to). Here's how it's done: In the top picture, I lit the background with a backlight strobe (it's own strobe), so it received enough light to expose properly, and consequently it came out pure white. In the picture above, I did not light the background; I just used the tiny little built-in flash on the digital Fuji, which was enough to (barely) light the strobe I was photographing, but too weak to reach or brighten up the backdrop to white; therefore, the background underexposed and looked brownish, even though it was really a pure white canvas! Carried to an extreme, I could even make a white background look black, if I wanted to. How? By lighting the subject so brightly that the (unlit) background would underexpose (i.e., not receive enough light) so badly it would come out black. It's all in the LIGHT folks; it's all in the light! Remember, a photographer is a LIGHT writer.

At the great price you'll get for this fabulous package, you could buy 2 or even 3 of these kits for LESS than HALF what you might pay for just a single competing strobe! BTW, when I tested this fabulous new strobe, I discovered that it clocked in at an incredible F16 at 10 feet! Whatta powerful little sucker it is! Plus, you can set it for full OR half power.
Technique: BTW, I purposely made the photograph above to show you an example of a photographic situation (perspective distortion) that often plagues our amateur images. I used this technique to distort the relative size of the reflector, compared to the strobe's body. Look at the picture at the top of this auction description (or the small one to the left); then look at the image above. The reflector in the image above appears larger than it really is, in relation to the body of the strobe (compare the relative sizes of the strobe and the silver reflector). Why does this happen? It's called "perspective distortion" and I'll spare you the physics of the explanation, but whenever one part of an object is closer to the camera's lens than the other part of an object, the perspective is distorted (it's due to the rendering of a 3 dimensional object into a 2 dimensional image). For fun, try this: come in really close to someone's face with your camera, and with the person's nose closest to your lens, take a picture. When the print comes back, you'll see the nose looks huge (compared to the rest of the face). Of course, you can do the same with almost any object you photograph. The lesson? Beware of holding the camera too close to your subject (unless you want perspective distortion for some reason, like this example, or for fun). This most often happens when we're using wide angle lenses (since we can fit more into the frame, we sometimes bring the camera too close to our subjects), but it happens with all lenses. For portraiture, use somewhere between an 85 to 135mm lens (the short telephoto range makes most faces look better). The opposite of the perspective distortion effect is a compression of space caused with long telephoto lenses. If a subject really does have a large nose, shoot your victim with a longer telephoto lens; it will compress space, and make the nose look smaller. Just a couple more tricks up the professional photographer's sleeve. Read on, and learn more.... Back to top of page

More about the new PS-200.....
Back to top of page

Now lemme tell ya about another great feature on these dynamite little units that's not found on many competing strobes costing 3-5 times the price of these: when you set these units for 1/2 power, the modeling lights ALSO dim to 1/2 power! What a great feature (what's a "modeling light?" see the explanation just below this picture)! [Why, you may ask, would we want to reduce a strobe's power output? see the "technique" section, below.


As we can see from the back view, The New PS-200 is well-stocked with controls and comes with all the extras already built-in.

The PS-200 is a "Monolight," which means that all the required components are included in the one package (as opposed to other strobes which may have the flash head in one segment, and then need an additional and separate power supply in order to get it to work; at an additional cost, too). With these units, everything is included; just plug them in, and fire away!

The "ready" light goes on to let us know when the strobe is charged and ready to fire; the "test" button lets us fire the strobe to test its proper functioning or to take a meter reading; the "sync" terminal lets us attach a sync (or PC) cord to the sync terminal on our cameras to control the firing of the strobe with the shutter button on our cameras; and the "optical slave sensor" lets us fire the strobe automatically with the flash of any other strobe or flash unit (so we don't have to use a sync cord at all, if we don't want to). The Full/Half Power switch lets us choose the power output with the flip of a switch. The other controls are pretty much self-explanatory.

BTW, a "Modeling Light" (see the picture of the modeling light, below) is a separate, additional, light (in addition to the strobe's "Flash Tube") that's built into the strobe and throws continuous light over the same area as the strobe's flash tube will (see the picture below for a close-up). You turn on the modeling light (before your shot), so the photographer can see what the modeling will look like, as s/he adjusts the lights before he takes the shot and fires the strobe ("Modeling" is PhotoSpeak for the highlights (light areas) and shadows (dark areas) that fall upon the subject, giving it the depth and texture necessary for professional results). This great feature (modeling light) is usually only found on much more expensive lights.

This unit can be activated by the PC Cord (included, of course), the Test Button, or the Slave Sensor (which means that any other flash, even your camera's little built-in flash, can automatically fire this unit by it's light alone, so you don't even need to use a sync (PC) cord unless you want to). BTW, a "PC Cord" (Push Contact), also called a "Sync Cord" is a wire that connects the strobe to your camera, and fires the strobe when you press the camera's shutter button.

The PS-200 comes ready to go, with built-in umbrella holder, built-in light stand connector, and the ability to set the direction or tilt of each light to perfectly fit your needs for every shot!

See the image above for a description of each of the controls on the unit.

This is a Fabulous deal, but let's not lose sight of the reality. If you're rich, have a sugar-mommy or daddy, are a high-income pro, or if you can get financing, my advice would be to spring for something (several somethings, in fact) more powerful, more feature-rich (and a LOT more expensive). Lights are like hard disks and internet connections: no matter how big a hard disk is, and no matter how fast your net connection is, they're never big or fast enough. But if you're just starting out, or are on a budget, or are an advanced (or advancing) amateur, these little babies sure make a lot of sense. Let's face it, your portrait clients (or your mother-in-law) won't have any idea whether you paid three hundred or three thousand for each of these strobes; they'll just be impressed (let them think they cost you an arm and a leg; especially those snooty, skinny, little models - "Ya want great head shots, sweetie? It's gonna cost ya; hell, my lights are so valuable, whenever I trade one in, I gotta pay it alimony!") Umm, just some photographer humor, folks :) - it sorta grows on you as you progress in photography; you'll see.

Back to top of page ----------- Back to Contents List

We can see the difference between the Modeling Light Bulb and the Flash Tube (the circular tube surrounding the modeling bulb) in this close-up shot of the PS-200's business end (with the reflector removed, of course).

The modeling light is a fabulous photographic aid for every photographer - but especially valuable to the amateur, because it let's us "see" exactly where the light will fall when the strobe flashes. This feature alone is worth at least a hundred rolls of ruined film (which you'll save by having a modeling light)! One of the major questions (and hesitations) I had when I was beginning to learn photography, was "If you use strobes, how do you know what the subject will look like, or how and where the light will illuminate the subject, if you don't have continuous lighting to judge by?"

The answer was really simple: You don't. UNLESS your strobes also have MODELING LIGHTS! With modeling lights, you can see exactly where the strobe's flash will illuminate the subject, because the modeling light falls on the subject the same as the strobe's light will fall on the subject (less intensely, of course)! And this is why the pros pay lotsa money for good strobes that come with modeling lights. That's why the professional photographer's pictures look so much better than ours do: they have the right equipment for the job! They can CONTROL THE LIGHT! And now, so can you. back up to rear view of PS-200
Back to top of page

PhotoSpeak: What's a "Slave Sensor?" Well, if you had to use a PC Cord for every strobe, just think what a mess of tangled wires you'd have if you were using 5 or 6 or more strobes to light your subject (as many pros do)! So, science came to our rescue with slave sensors. It's a tiny little sensor built into most good strobes, that sits & waits for a short, intense burst of light. When it detects this burst of light (the flash from another strobe), it automatically sets off the flash tube in the strobe its built into. Voila! Now, with strobes that have slave sensors (often just called "slaves"), we can connect only one strobe to our cameras (with the PC or Sync cord), usually the strobe closest to our camera, and when we press the shutter button, firing the one connected strobe, that flash will automatically set off all the other strobes we may be using for that shot! Ah, ain't technology wunnerful (sic)? Even most of the little flashes built into most modern cameras can set off most strobes with slaves. A strobe that has PC socket, or both a PC Socket and a slave sensor is called a "Master" strobe; a strobe that only has a slave sensor and no PC socket (usually less expensive units) is called a "Slave." Whichever strobe you're using with a PC cord is referred to as your "master" strobe for purposes of that shot. Most of the better strobes have both PC sockets and slave sensors, so they're more versatile and useful to us (however, there are many very good slaves out there today, and you won't need all your strobes to be masters, so don't hesitate to buy some decent slaves when the time comes - and, believe me, if you stick with photography, the time will come).

Complete: Each of these PS-200s comes complete with umbrella-capable reflector, sync cord, AC cord, Flash Tube, Modeling Light, built-in umbrella holder, and standard light stand connector; it's ready to plug in and fire away! Since these strobes are A.C. units, they're ready to rock! No batteries or powerpacks or light heads or connector cords are needed; just plug 'em in, and (just like Elvis) you're ready to rock and roll. As with all quality strobes, these are capable of using many additional custom accessories, of course (e.g., snoots, barn doors, softboxes, stands, unbrellas, honeycombs, gel holders, etc.). BTW, pros use umbrellas to "bounce" the strobe's light off of (or sometimes through) to make the light softer, reduce or eliminate shadows, and "mellow-out" the picture. Softboxes (and SoftCases) and umbrellas are specifically designed for this purpose (and yes, these are able to use custom-fitted softboxes & softcases).

These are brand new, 100% guaranteed, with the manufacturer's full one year warrantee . These are NOT seconds, blemishes, or anything other than brand new, absolutely perfect, current models! Just 'cause the price is great, doesn't mean these are in any way less than perfect! Questions? Requests? just e-mail any questions or requests, to me at PhotoSource3@pss3.com.

BTW, technically speaking, all professional photographic flash units, even though nearly all pros call them "strobes," are not technically strobe lights. A real stroboscope is capable of dozens (or hundreds or even thousands) of flashes per second, and many can maintain that flash rate for hours on end. Our photographic strobes would die a dozen deaths if we tried to set them off 25 or 50 times a second! However, since photographers almost always call these lights "strobes," we'll just stick with the term; but, technically..... Well, you get the idea ;->

Technique: Why would we want to dim a strobe to 1/2 power? Because in order to get great pictures, we have to be able to control the light (sound familiar?) in a number of ways. Sometimes a full power flash is too powerful for the effect we're after; other times we may want to reduce the illumination to create a different mood. In people pictures, for a head shot (that's what photographers call a picture of a person's face, often the face and shoulders), we often want part of the face highlighted, and the other part of the face in a light to medium shadow. This interplay of light and shadow is called "modeling," and is a hallmark of good photography. Anyway, as an example, a common lighting ratio for people pictures is a 1:2 (also 1:3, 1:4, or even 1:5) ratio - full illumination on one side of the face, and 1/2 that amount of light on the other side of the subject's face (we rarely want full frontal lighting, because it gives the face a flat and unappealing look, as well as other negative aspects). The 1:2 (full/half) lighting combination can give us an interesting and often flattering image, with a good ratio of light and shadow - revealing the character, and giving us depth and texture (but be sure to play around with other lighting ratios, too, for even more creativity). Whenever we have two strobes to work with, we can achieve this 1:2 ratio by moving one strobe (the one providing the shadow side lighting) twice as far away from the subject as our main light (the strobe providing the full illumination). But often things get in the way, like walls and such; not all of us have lots of room in our studios (especially living room studios :) to move our lights as far away as we like. Aha! The scientific wizards devised a most convenient solution! A variable-power strobe (like this great PS-200)! Now, instead of moving lights all over the place, all we have to do is flip a switch, and Voila! 1/2 power without any hassle at all! In some very powerful strobes, we might even find variations from full power, all the way down to 1/32 power. Another way to achieve a lighting ratio (when we only have one strobe) is to use a reflector to "bounce" some light onto the shadow side of the subject's face. You can buy a "professional" reflector for as much as $100.00 or more, but I just use a white poster board, which you can find at any art supply store for under two bucks. You don't have to spend a fortune to make great pictures, just use your equipment to its fullest extent - and use your head!

Q. What the heck is a "WS" and what's a "GN," and what in the world do they mean? .

WS = Watt Second | GN = Guide Number

Here's a brief explanation (using, for this example, your (well, it might be yours soon:) new PS-200 strobe, which have a power level of 120WS, and a GN of 125):

The "120WS" (or the 80WS, or 20WS, etc.) is the output power of your strobe and a watt second is equal to the electrical term "joules," a high-falutin power level. The Guide Number (GN) of these PS-200 units is also 125 (for ASA/ISO 100 film), with a standard reflector. Often, the Watt Second power output is close to the guide number. What good is knowing the guide number? Well, the GN gives us a method of calculating exposure (for any strobe and any film) in this way: to calculate the correct approximate exposure for any subject at any distance, simply divide the distance (in feet) that the subject is from the strobe, into the strobe's GN (guide number); the result is our approximate "F" stop.

For example, (presuming you're using ISO/ASA 100 film), our GN is 125, and the subject is 12 feet away, then: 125 (GN) divided by 12 (feet away from the subject) = 10.4, so we'd use an exposure setting of just under F11. If our subject is 8 feet away, then: 125 divided by 8 = 15.6 which would give us an approximate F stop of F16. See? Umm, if you don't understand it, don't worry about it (it took me years to fully comprehend). Suggestion: If you're serious about improving your photography, you should consider getting a handheld flash/ambient light meter see links here (sorry, I don't carry any at this time, but I will offer some suggestions).

You're getting One Britek PS-200 Professional Strobe with this kit


Back to top of page ----------- Back to Contents List

Here's some information about the items comprising
your new starter studio:
Brand New 2.8 to 6.5 Foot Light stand



Top: 3/8" stud, 1/4" thread, type A.
Size: 2.8 ft to 7 feet; Weight: 2.4 lbs. ea.

Here's an excellent quality light stand. This Brand New Britek light stand extends to a height of 6.5-7 Feet, and folds down (fully assembled) to only 2.8 feet for easy packing and transport.

These stands have a black finish which reduces unwanted glare; three vertical sections (19mm, 16mm, 13mm), and three double-braced legs (16mm), which provide excellent stability in the studio or on location. They're topped with a standard 3/8" stud with 1/4" thread, type A. Sturdy as all get out, yet only weigh about 3 lbs. (so you can pack up a set of three stands for under 10 lbs. for location shoots - believe me, schlepping around anything heavier can give you a hernia, especially when added to all your other gear). Yet these babies can be folded up and put in the corner of your closet and take up very little space.

I've been using these same stands for over 7 years now, and couldn't be happier! You'll probably love 'em, too. They're sized perfectly for multiple uses: with a low height of under 3 feet, they're great for background lighting; at their full 6.5 feet, they're perfect for lighting standing subjects, lighting from above for kids or sitting subjects, or even hairlights; and adjusting them anywhere in-between, they're perfect for subject-level lighting, whether you're photographing kids or adults (or things)!

All the sections of these stands are quality tubular stock, NOT the cheapie solid ones (which are heavier and less versatile, as well as cheaper). The only "cheap" part of these stands is the price - not the quality! Bid now, while they're still in stock.

Huh? Well, huh? ;-)

"PhotoSource3" on eBay

Ever have your cellular phone fail to find a signal when you really needed it? Those of us who have cell phones, have them because we never know when we'll find ourselves in a situation where it will save our butts (or those of our spouses, kids, or friends) from some emergency.

Other times, when we're on our cell phone with an important call, we discover that we've just "dropped" the call during the most important part of our conversations. It's happened to all of us, and I really hated it when it happened to me!

We've all seen the ads on TV and in the magazines and newspapers for these Cell Phone Antenna Boosters, and hundreds of thousands have been sold for $19.95 each! And, yes, they DO help (I've tried them on my own cell phones). They're easy to install (just peel and stick them on the phone behind the battery). To be perfectly honest, though (and I always am:), they're nowhere as "Wonderful" as the TV ads make them out to be (what is?:), but they really do help pull in the cell signals when you're in a "fringe" area or inside buildings. I certainly don't think they're worth $20, but in an emergency, these little antenna boosters could make the difference for you. And one thing's for sure: you can't beat the price! It's FREE!

I just happened to come upon a fabulous deal for these cellular phone antenna boosters, and I feel that it's something we should all have - after all, when an emergency happens to us, we'll NEED to have a connection that will work (but no guarantees:)!

Sure, I could have sold these for five, or maybe even ten dollars each (as others are doing) and probably have made a great profit on them - but I'm NOT the average eBay seller and I feel that if you're kind enough to purchase this great professional lighting equipment from me, the least I could do would be to give you one of these as a FREE gift! So I'm including one of these Cellular Antenna Boosters with EVERY order. For FREE! Just my way of saying: "Thank you for your patronage!" So "Who da man?" Huh? Who da man? ;-)

Each and every order (placed from this eBay auction listing) will include one FREE Cellular Phone Antenna Booster. Please understand that you will receive one free antenna booster with your order (regardless of how many kits or packages you may order from a dutch auction). Unlike others, this is not a gimmick - there's no "catch," there are no additional costs to you, there are no additional "shipping" or "handling" charges tacked on (as so many other sellers do) - this is really and truly a FREE bonus! Wondering if my products are really as good as they sound? Just feedback for assurance, and see for yourself!

Accessories & Information

 

Translucent White "Shoot-Through" Umbrella:
The "poor photographer's softbox"

Ah, now here's a truly valuable and versitile addition to every photographer's tool kit! The diaphanous  material of this great umbrella allows us to either use it reflectively, or - and here's the true value - to direct our strobe's light right through this umbrella, resulting in a truly fabulous way to soften our light - without losing a few stops of exposure (and without costing us an extra hundred bucks or so for a softbox)! This is almost the exact same thing that the softbox does, and this gives us yet another method to control our lighting. When you start using this kit, you'll quickly see the differences between using the umbrella reflectively, and using the umbrella as "shoot-through." The more tools we have, the more creative we can be, and that's why I include the most valuable photographic tools in these packages. I promise you, studio lighting is a blast, and this little package allows us to greatly improve our photography! And with this kit you have the equipment you'll need for both reflective-umbrella and softbox-style Transparent Shoot-Through lighting! You're getting one of these transparent umbrellas with this great package.

 3614 6
 H70- 150mm 7" Umbrella-Capable Reflectors
Used alone for about 60º coverage, or with optional barn doors to control lighting spread, or with an umbrella to create soft and diffuse lighting. This custom reflector is designed with a special "slot" in it to allow for the use of an umbrella, without the need for a special umbrella holder accessory! A unique innovation! This is usually the reflector that comes with the Britek PS-200 Strobes, since they have an integral umbrella holder built in to the strobe's light stand connector. You get One of these reflectors with this package!
Back to top

Sync (or PC) Cords
These are used to attach one of our strobes to the sync plug on our cameras when we don't want to use the camera's built-in flash to trigger our strobes via their slave sensors.
You'll also be receiving a Sync Cord (also called a "PC" Cord), and a power cord for your new PS-200 Pro Strobe, and don't forget that both have integral (built-in) umbrella holders, and light stand connections too! Everything you'll need is included, so when your new photographic equipment arrives, all you'll have to do is unpack them, put the strobe on the light stand, plug it in, point the strobe at your victim,(s) and rock & roll (fire away)! Unlike some other lighting equipment which requires additional power supplies and connector cables, this great A.C. kit comes 100% complete - no additional attachments or accessories are needed to start using this equipment within a few minutes after it arrives!

This is a Great starter Portrait Studio setup, for an amazing price! You'll have what you'll need to start getting great portraits (also great for product photography)! With a powerful 120WS Master strobe, you'll be able to appropriately light your victims (er, your "subjects, that is:), which will allow you to get professional-level results with the necessary interplay of light and shadow, resulting in the depth and texture characteristic of pro portraits. Also, professional strobes (like this) come with all the bells and whistles already built-in - like what, you may ask? Like Modeling Lights, (see here and here), variable power with the flip of a switch, removable and interchangeable umbrella-capable reflectors, and the capability of using an almost infinite variety of light modifiers (such as umbrellas, softboxes, SoftCases, snoots, honeycombs, etc.).

In addition, you'll have a Light Stand for your strobe, AND a Translucent "Shoot-Through" Umbrella to creatively soften the light and effectively help to hide the lines, sags, and wrinkles often found on our older victims (it makes them look younger, more vibrant, and attractive - and often results in the photographer being called names, like "Artist" and "Genius" :). Umbrellas are also great for photographing reflective surfaces; they cut down on or eliminate the "hot spots" on glass, chrome, oil paintings, and on virtually all similar reflective surfaces). And in addition, you'll also receive an umbrella-capable reflector with the strobe, and all necessary sync cords, power cords, and bulbs. Over all, this is a fabulous professionsal-level starter package which will give you what you need to start you off in portraiture or product photography, and is infinitely upgradable! Unlike other kits, this starts you at the pro level, and allows you to expand whenever you like - without being stuck with amateur equipment that you wasted your money on. And you get all this for less than one-HALF of what you'd pay for just one single strobe from a competing manufacturer (and less than a dinner would cost you at a nice restaurant - and this professional lighting equipment is absolutely guaranteed to last longer than any dinner you'll ever have ;-).
