I love off-camera flash--whether from speedlights or monos. However, I like having the versatility that mono's allowif you have the means to power them, the time to set them up, and the modifiers to make them sing.


Keith: I've actually been considering a DIY option for my second monolight power source. I really like the idea of the mini, but honestly, I use the weight of my Vagabond II to weigh down my stands. So the Vagabond Mini doesn't make as much sense for my needs (but I can see where it works perfectly for others).
