I am a beginner photographer and iv been using a Yongnuo yn565, yn560 III and YN560II in my studio shots but the recycle times can sometimes be sluggish if the batteries aren't fully charged and when they are fully charged they just don't last that long at all, I have 4 x 2900mah rechargeables in each light. The whole battery thing is annoying me alone, plus I want to get a large softbox and have read a speedlight wouldn't be sufficient to fill one properly so i'm looking at upgrading to studio heads soon.
Would you recommend the Lencarta Smartflash 2 ? Or would you suggest buying a more expensive and powerful single head and working from there? The thing is funds are tight at the moment so cant be affording everything. And that studio kit comes with stands, softbox, umbrella and everything. Ive already spent a bit on speedlights and stand kits and if I get a single studio kit i'll need different stands, modifier and everything. Surely the 200w heads will be way more powerful than what im currently using for now? And maybe in a year or 2 when im making more of an income from it I can then upgrade to better main lights and use these as background lights or fills.
I'm currently doing shoots in my house, and would do friends shoots in their house so don't want anything way over powerful anyway because I don't have the distance to have them from the subject.
Thanks
