FS: On location Strobist Kit & Quantum Battery 1 (Houston preferred.) - 02-22-2009, 08:05 PM


I have a Strobist kit and a back up Quantum 1 battery that I'd like to sell. This kit was put together from my experience with gear and it has been going strong. Please feel free to PM me with any questions and thanks for looking.

What you'll get from the kit:
1 - Vivitar 285HV (the safe version you can use on your digital SLRs)
1 - Al Jacob's blackbox battery & charger
1 - Quantum radio receiver
1 - Quantum radio transmitter
1 - Umbrella adapter
1 - Shoot through / reflect collapsible silver umbrella
1 - Air cushion stand, 8 feet height max I believe.
1 - Cable to connect the Vivitar to the Al Jacob blackbox or the Quantum 1 battery (dummy AA batteries)
1 - Cable to connect the Vivitar to the Quantum radio receiver.

If you get the kit, the followings are free:
1 - Optical trigger, which is what I use if I'm the only shooter for convenience.
1 - Sorta broken Vivitar 285HV that always shoots at full power, I couldn't figure how to get it to shoot at lower power. I'm not too good at electrical stuff and have been shocked enough fixing things that I don't want to open this one to get shocked again.

Now the important part:
Price:
- $270 for the kit.
- $100 for the Quantum Battery 1 & charger.

or get both the kit & the Quantum Battery 1 for $350

Local Houston preferred for now, as shipping is probably going to cost a bit.

Quick sample shot taken with the kit at my last wedding with no editing:

Any chance you would break it up.

I only want the umbrella, stand and umbrella adapter.

I will take both the kit & quantum if you replace the Vivitar with 580EX II (original will do too). :D :D :D

If I decide to break it up, you'll get first dibs.

Sure Ming, I have a busted 580ex I still haven't replaced the lamp, I'll throw that in too, and of course since we talking about changing the kit, if you are willing to add one more zero to the end of the original price, I'm more than happy to do it after all, it's just a zero, which means nothing to you right?

If you decide to break it up, I would be interested in the Vivitar(s) and the transmitter/receiver.
