Softbox and boom for speedlite .. ?

Moey · 18 Oct 2016

Hi guys,

I have a couple of SB800 speedlites and was thinking of buying a boom arm and softbox to stick on one of them with the possibility of using it for outdoor portraits/weddings etc.. I'm after something quite light so if I have an assistant, he/she will be able to carry it without too much of a weight issue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.. ..

Thanks in advance,,

Moey

By boom arm do you mean something handheld or something on a stand?

If on a stand then lightweight isn't a good idea.

If you want something handheld then Godox make an extending pole, but I use a painter's pole with one of these fab widgets:
