I assume that the established brands would have done calcutlations to optimize the design for their light heads..

Without R&D costs one could make it very competitve and make greater...
This is a good Umbrella and also at good price .

There is a Diffused front cover available as well .
Cathay Photo is probably the Biggest Photographic equipment Store in sg.
They have Pro sales man like Juicy Joo in charge of Elinchrom .
But if you prefer a sought after brand , famous for Beauty Light in USA - Profoto.
Got a least 3 dealers here :-
SLR Revolution at #04-18 , Funan IT...
Chanced upon this shop call SLR Revolution on 4th floor of Funan .

Besides being Automatically multivolatge it has the...
Yes . The air is a very good radio system alternative to the Pocket wizard .
It does not disturb the emergency service frequencies because it is at 2.4Ghz.
In fact its so good , i heard , that the european brands like Bowens and Hensel will be adopting the Air into their systems.

Magnum reflectors are like $450 each so it is unlikely to be included .
The local package do not include reflectors as they come with white umbrellas .
These , for simplicity , sometimes do better , giving an even spread to a...
