Shopper conversation with Jackie L. on July 28, 2016

Jackie L.
Are you shopping for a flash today? How may I help?
Hi Jackie!
Jackie L.
Hi there!
How can I help today?
I am looking for a lighting set up. I do not have a studio, so what i ultimately get has to be mobile.
Jackie L.
Ok, I would recommend speedlights for sure
I want to get two off camera flashes or lights somehow, wtih stands and umbrellas.
Jackie L.
Ok, what camera do you have?
And i wanted to get a transiver/reciever.
Jackie L.
ok
Nikon D5300
Jackie L.
ok
The biggest issue is i have a small budget
Jackie L.
what price range are you going for?
I was opening to be under $800 for the whole set up.
Jackie L.
I can get you way under that if you like

And that flash is a good fit with the camera? Someone was saying TTL and something or another, but i dont think it was this flash.
Jackie L.
Cacts wireless V5 duo. one goes on the camera, one goes on one flash, set the other flast to slave mode
yes it will work with your camera
So that Cactus transceiver duo, that is similar to a pocket wizard? Just off brand of course.
Jackie L.
yes, these are items I use and it is very easy to use and good price. It is similar to a pocket wizerd but better prices
Awesome! That makes me much happier.

two of these light stands
My only concern is if i am mounting on light stand, those would work still? I know pocketwizards kind of just dangle next to them.

Do you have a different suggestion for reception lighting for a wedding?
Than what you suggested
I have three different types of sessions i need the lighting for, so i figure i ask a professional.
Jackie L.
I would use the speedlights, but just use one on your camera
I have one for on camera already, but its an altura.
Jackie L.

Would you see any compatibility issues using that and the yongnuo and altura with the cactus?
