traveling studio (indoor & out)....

[englandshottest2]

hi all, well lately i've been getting a lot of work 'on location', such as family re-unions, group parties, etc., groups ranging from 10-50 people, both indoor & outdoor.
question being, what would you take with you for such an event, in terms of lighting and/or light modifiers? In past i've just brought along my 430EX with a Lastolite Microlite XL flashgun softbox, it's great. just trying to think a bit more in terms of how to improve, lol. Obviously I'd love to bring my teeny tiny 100w slaves everywhere, but that's rather tricky when no power supply ! any advice would be much appreciated!! xxxx thanks!

My portable kit now consists of the following:

1 x SB-800
3 x SB-600
SU-800
Al Jacobs Black box - Quantum type battery for SB-800
Gels, diffusors, ball bungees, spare batteries etc
All the above in a small Tamrac bag

2 collapsible 43" Westcott umbrellas (1 shoot through and one silver reflective), they fold down to about 12" and sit on top of the bag

2 lightweight stands

Compared with carrying a full lighting rig this is easy to transport and set up and it has the advantage of being able to use CLS. I might add some Pocket Wizards in the future for longer range work.
