Thanks for sharing! I've been thinking about getting some strobes, but I want them to be able to run off batteries too. The B800's can do that with the Vagabond II setup.

Any reason to not get B1600's (other than price)? It seems a good quality lighting setup with 2 to 3 strobes is about the price of one piece of quality glass.

Also, do you use more paper backgrounds, or muslins?
