The studio bought a flash.

I am a fashion photographer. I have set up many studios and have a certain understanding of lighting. According to my calculation, you haven't made many things clear, such as the size of the studio and what it is for, so you shouldn't buy it too expensive.

Then I'll push some cheap ones first.

First of all, you only need three lights, and you didn't say anything about shooting, so I think you mainly play.

The studio area is about 20 to 60 square meters:

For fun, I recommend Golden Eagle's digital elite 300E, with power of 300W and GN 50. This lamp is very easy to use. I have a set, which is stable and light in weight. I usually take this set of lights when I go out, so I can handle ordinary small tasks and the price is very cheap. Taobao around 600 yuan, outside the store may be around 800 yuan. I bought it from Taobao at the store, and everything is fine. I can buy with confidence.

The studio area is about 70 to 200m2:

Secondly, if you need more power to shoot, we recommend the Golden Eagle S3600 electric box with three lamp holders. The maximum output power of each box is 1200W, and GN is 95, which can meet most shooting needs, such as fashion photography. I often use this lamp, too, and I am very satisfied. Now the price is slightly lowered, which should be around 7800. An electric box has three lamp holders.

The second option is similar to the S3600 of Golden Eagle. U2' s S3003 electric box has three lampholders, and the maximum output power of each lampholder is 100W, GN 90, which is similar to Golden Eagle in all aspects, but the power is not much smaller than GN, and the price is about 6000. I used it several times and found no obvious quality problems. At present, it is also common to rent a shed outside for this kind of lamp.

Then recommend a cost-effective imported lamp. Baorong's Gemini 400 and Gemini 500 are 400W and 500W respectively. GN values are 76 and 80, and prices are 2000 and 2600 respectively. Very cost-effective. Although the power is not high, the flash index is far ahead of domestic brands. From products to portraits to fashion and advertising, you can basically do it.

Kimbe's is not recommended. I bought three video lamps of Kimbe, MSN series, and I was very dissatisfied. Files are always jumping around, unstable, and accessories are rough, which is obviously not as good as before. Domestic advertising is also very good, but it is not recommended because the price is comparable to that of imported ones.

Depending on your shooting theme, you may need accessories, such as four-corner soft box, octagonal soft box, radome, honeycomb, standard cover, reflective umbrella, soft umbrella pig mouth and so on. A light stand is normal, less than 100 yuan, and there is basically no need for a pneumatic light stand indoors. You can buy a magic leg if necessary, about 4500 yuan. Especially don't buy a gold shell lamp holder. I've seen someone drop a lamp because they used a gold shell lamp holder.

The flasher is recommended to buy Yongnuo RF602, which has high stability and the price is 150 to 200.

If the economic situation permits, PLUS II is recommended to be equipped with imported lamps at a price of 2600.

Others are not recommended because of performance/price ratio or difficulties in domestic purchase.
