Hello fellow grinners... first off... happy and safe holidays to y'all... now...

I saw this on MSNBC in the story "Cool gifts for shutterbugs"

The Impact Strobos Portrait Kit - it is being sold by BH for $83.00.

Has anyone heard and/or seen this... used this???

If not... what do you guys think about it???

Sorry, this just got lost in the holiday doings ...

My impression from looking at this description is that it seems failrly complete for what it is (beauty dish, grids and snoot) but the beauty dish seems awfully small in diameter to be truly useful for the effect. A snoot is fairly easy to custom make for a particular flash, and I think we had a previous discussion regarding a very inexpensive grid system.

Still, this kit has convenience associated with it. I suppose if the price seems acceptable, why not? It would probably see use for lots of applications. I love having options. :thumb
