So, finally pulled the trigger on some OCF gear after years (actually decades, to be frank) of fancying it.
Tomorrow the following package will start its way towards me:
An AD200 Pro flash kit
The TTL Radiotransmitter XPRO 2,4G
and a TT350.
The rationale is to get going, with some flexibility.
The choice of the simple TT350 is somewhat based on the presumption that it will be a "daily" driver so to speak and running it on rechargeable AAs but with the possibility to run it on disposable batteries and by that being somewhat off-grid. It will probably replace my Meike 320 as an EDC flash, due to it working in conjunction with the rest of the incoming units. The AD200Pro is a given, it seems to be somewhat of a watershed, when it comes to lighting for the masses and offers greater flexibility than one of the bigger speedlights and with very little size penalty.
I also have several of the old camera flash-grips, so I could probably rig it to be somewhat mounted with the camera, if not on it.
I plan to start by using an old Slik tripod for mounting the AD200, it is a bit low but time will show. It is anyhow a stop-gap solution whilst looking into proper light stands and other sundries, such as modifiers which most likely starts with a umbrella as per Strobist 101.
From earlier, I have a IKEA "studio" set-up, iow a stool and one white and one black shower curtain, time to put that to some use.
