AlienBees strobes
I was wondering if anyone on this forum has used strobes from Alien
Bees. I'd really appreciate some feedback about them. I'm in the market for a couple 320 watt second monolights, but wasn't sure if I'd regret getting the AlienBees seeing as how they're relatively cheap. So far I've only used Profotos (which I loved), Speedotrons (but only with power paks) and Photogenics. Unfortunately I'm on a serious budget and would like to stay around $600-650 for 2 heads/umbrellas/etc. I'm just looking for a really reliable strobe. Any feedback is appreciated. |
AlienBees strobes
I have a B400 and a B800. I like them a lot and have used them for 2
years. They are easy to use and the features are good too. I have found that at times, I need more power though. These work well for a single portrait and smaller table top set-ups, but I wish I would have bought a more powerful model. I can shoot a portrait with the strobes a few feet away at f/8 comfortably, but a group of people or an interior may require more light for a good depth of field. I rent a 2 light set with 600 w/s each when I need more lights and those have the power! So, alien bees are good, it just depends which one and what you are shooting. |
