Just taking an opportunity to heckle! Though, I was actually shocked to see all of them listed; I'm so accustomed to seeing you and Cody on PhotoVision with just a couple of hotshoe flashes.

TriCoast Photography is our main company and we have a secondary company - Coastline Portraits that captures around 10,000 school kids a year (school to dance studios, etc). Our new studio though has a 10 light set up all the time as well. (2 - 5 lights in each shooting bay)

My lights:
Still Photography - 3 B800 and 2 SB800s ... several umbrellas and softboxes and reflectors. Elinchrom Universal Triggers and the eBay ones as well (back up / fun)
I am leaning towards purchasing some Elinchrom strobes to add to the list.

Videography - 2 Arri 600W, 1 300W Lowel Pro, 1 750W Rifa (built in Umbrella) with bounce cards, reflectors, CStands (arms and knuckles), black wrap, gels and flags.
