Location lighting kit profiled on Youtube.com

I posted two videos showing the remote lighting kit I use at the university. I originally put the kit together because I was traveling to Washington D.C. It had been a while since I had flown with lights and I was hoping to make getting through check in and security easier.

Having used this kit for more than year now, I really would like to add another strobe or two so that I can use even more lights in classrooms.

Part 1
Part 2

The kit consists of
1 Hakuba tripod bag
2 Canon 550EX speedlights
2 Bogen 3373 compact lightstands
2 Bogen umbrella adapters
2 Umbrellas (one silver lined and one white)
2 Pocket Wizard to hotshoe cords
2 Pocket Wizard Multimax, which we use as receivers
1 Pocket Wizard Plus Transmitter
extra batteries

Also, I highly recommend buying a Rosco Gel sampler pack. These only cost $5 from Roberts Imaging in Indianapolis.
