I have 4 heads and each is independent of the other. I usually carry 2 heads, radio slave, several light stands, Vivitar 283 with varipower module and optical slave, assorted gels for lens and light, bogen clamp, 2 medium softbox , 3 umbrellas, Gaffer Tape, and other assorted cables and wires and extension cords. Have very seldom seen a location where this is not enough. When it is not I really need the light and even with all 5 heads (4 W/L 1200's and a Dynalite Uni400) I still barely have enough and am wanting several elinchrome kits..... The nice thing about the White Lightning's is that I can set them up 50 feet apart and as long as there is power near by I do not have to run cable and don't have to have extra power packs with external slaves...all built in the heads. Add to that White Lightning has the best customer service of any company I have ever dealt with (they are made 4 miles from where I live and I can grab replacement stuff and repairs very easily...often at no cost). Of course my kit is WAY over 20 pounds..... Best regards, Harrison McClary email: harrison@mcclary.net http://www.mcclary.net preview my book: http://www.volmania.com
