I am looking at a 50w light that has barndoors and daylight balanced filter 50w max but it has dimmer and the belt battery is nikle ion i bleive which is about 4 pound and gives me 2 hours. what do u think is it worth it.
priced at $425.
am i overkilling for the z1. i just want to be safe in event environmnet i know for inteviews and ... its an overkill.
