Recommendations For Portable Monolight/Battery

[rollsman44]

I have Never used a Battery operated Monolight, Just AC. I want to use it with a Softbox on Location. I have a budget of about 400.00 . I have no problem buying A GOOD used one or New if thats possible. I will be using Phottix triggers. This will be my Main Light. Portraits and families are most of what I shoot. Thank you

Check out either the Alienbees or the Einstein flash units and the vagabond mini lithium battery pack from Paul Buff.

The Alienbees are about half of what the Einstein units cost (I have the Einstein model and I do like them a lot).
