Sign up with GoogleI've been getting really into the idea of utilizing my speedlight more and buying some new gear to play around with. I'm on a tight budget so at the moment i want to keep it very minimalistic. I already have a 430ex flash and although i would like to buy a 580ex to use as a master, for now (the next few months), for financial reasons i want to stick with just one flash. So here is the plan for now..
Buy a yongnuo RF-602 radio trigger and reciever set to get my flash off camera.
Get a light stand, umbrella/flash holder and umbrella.
maybe buy a 5-1 reflector
I think i will have to get the yongno triggers from ebay because they arnt sold anywhere else, but was wondering if anyone knows of a good reliable seller on ebay who doesnt charge much for shipping? So far most sellars seem to have them for about $30 excluding shipping.
With regards to the other stuff, I was happy to see this combo deal on B&H http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=WishList.jsp&A=details&Q=&sku=682820&is=REG for $69.50 But it turns out the shipping would cost more than the entire kit, not to mention taxes and customs.
Locally the best/cheapest i can find is www.camerastuff.co.za where it would set me back about R800 and that is oncluding just one umbrella, not a mulitfunctional shoot-through-or-bounce one like at B&H. Anyone else have a better idea? Feel free to suggest something completely different.. All i want is to get my flash off camera and have as versatile a setup for as cheap as possible. I know I cant do much untill I have atleast one more light but even if i only get away with portraits at the moment, I happy. Im willing to spend much more in the future but for now my budget is R1-R1.5k including the radio triggers.
