Product description

• 2 x Canon Speedlite 600EX II-RT
  Complete with built-in radio transmission wireless functionality, the Speedlite 600EX II-RT sits at the top of Canon's on-camera E-TTL / E-TTL II compatible flash lineup with a powerful guide number of 197' at ISO 100 and 200mm. This revision improves continuous flash performance by 1.1-1.5x, or up to 2.0x with optional battery pack, simplifies the menu system for faster operation, and includes a specially designed bounce adapter, a hard color filter, and an updated soft case. The two-way 2.4 GHz radio system provides added reliability and a range up to 98.4' among up to 5 groups with a total of 15 individual Speedlites. This system also does not need direct line-of-site like traditional optical-based transmission and will work through obstacles.
  
  For added coverage and functionality, the flash's zoom head can reach from 20-200mm, with the option for wide 14mm coverage when the built-in diffusion panel is used. Also, the unit can tilt from -7 to +90° and rotate 180° either left or right for complete bounce capabilities. On the back of the 600EX II-RT is a backlit dot-matrix LCD panel that displays the status and allows users to easily access and change settings. Additionally, the flash is durable with a redesigned contact construction and improved dust and water resistant sealing.
  
  Other capabilities of the 600EX II-RT include a stroboscopic mode as well as high-speed, first and second curtain sync settings for more control over your image's final look. The flash is powered by 4 AA batteries and has a port for an optional external power pack. The rated recycle time is 0.1-5.5 seconds, but can be sped up to 0.1-3.3 seconds in Quick Flash mode. It comes with a bounce adapter, a hard CTO filter set, a mini stand, and an updated soft case that holds the flash and accessories.

• Canon ST-E3-RT Speedlite Transmitter
  The Canon ST-E3-RT Speedlite Transmitter can help you take full advantage of all the features on Canon's Speedlite 600EX-RT and 430EX III-RT flashes. The ST-E3-RT makes complex lighting setups simple by facilitating radio-controlled, two-way wireless transmission up to 98.4' away, among up to five groups or fifteen individual Speedlites. It has controls similar to the Speedlite 600EX-RT, including multiple flash metering options, and a variety of flash modes. Compact design with highly reliable construction combined with a clearly laid-out information panel and buttons with back lighting make this an indispensible tool for advanced professional flash photography. The ST-E3-RT represents the next generation in wireless flash systems. Note: Because it does not have an optical transmission function, the Speedlite Transmitter ST-E3-RT is not compatible with earlier Speedlite models such as 580EX II.
  • Newly-designed wireless system uses 2-way radio wave communication for enhanced communication among master and slave units. Achieves a transmission distance of up to 98.4' (30 m), all at a 360 degree angle.
  • Up to 5 groups, or 15 individual flashes can be controlled via 1 transmitter.
  • Supports E-TTL II flash, manual flash, stroboscopic and auto external flash metering.
  • Dot matrix LCD panel displays all pertinent information simultaneously and backlit control panel means easy operation.
  • 8 types of custom functions, 3 types of personal functions.
  • Improved hot shoe contacts for more reliable information transmission and operation.

• Impact Quikbox Softbox with Shoe Mount Flash Bracket (24 x 24")
  The Impact Quikbox (24 x 24") is a great way to expand the capabilities of your on-camera, shoe-mount flash. The Quikbox lives up to its name by popping open and assembling in a couple of minutes. Just pop open the softbox, add the diffusers and included adapter ring and shoe adapter, mount on a lightstand and you're ready to shoot. Using a softbox with your shoe-mounted flash will help to diffuse and to evenly distribute the light output of the flash. This will help to reduce those harsh shadows which are often the result of flash photography. Also included is an internal diffuser, to minimize the possibility of hotspots. In addition, the recessed front face helps to control light spill. The included flash bracket is adjustable vertically, and features a universal shoe which is adjustable horizontally. These adjustments make this unit compatible with virtually all standard flash units (incl. Nikon SB-900 & SB-910), as well as radio receivers. In addition, for those receivers that do not feature a bottom shoe connector, the bracket shoe is removable to expose a male 1/4"-20 screw. There are also three plastic washers included in the shoe assembly, to accommodate receivers of various sizes.
  • Folds completely flat
  • Sets up in minutes - no troublesome rods
  • Minimal light loss
  • Portable
  • Color-neutral fabric

• Impact QuickStik+ Telescopic Handle
  The Impact QuikStik+ Telescopic Handle adds flexibility and functionality to your shoe-mount flash or small strobe with light modifiers, such as Impact's Quikboxes or umbrellas. Ideal for use as a hair light, fill light or backlight, the QuikStik+ allows you to extend light sources weighing up to five pounds as high as 5.3' overhead.The QuikStik+ features an adjustable swivel handle with several unique features that promote comfort and precise placement of your light source. Using the QuickStick+ with two hands allows the hand grasping the swivel handle to act as a fulcrum on which the telescopic section pivots, in order to adjust the height. Since the handle can be moved along the length of the pole section, you're able to adjust the center of gravity for ideal balance. What sounds technical is really fast, simple, and intuitive, with the bottom line being overall comfort. You can make your handle adjustment in less time than it took to read this sentence.The included webbed nylon flag holder-type strap adds another level of comfort. The holder, in conjunction with the swivel handle, allows you to shift nearly all of the weight to your hip for one-hand operation over an extended period of time, leaving your other hand free for multi-tasking. The top stud accepts any standard 5/8" female accessory, such as the Impact Umbrella Bracket or Multi-Shoe Bracket. It is topped with a screw that also permits the use of 1/4"-20 accessories.

• Impact Convertible Umbrella - White Satin with Removable Black Backing - 45"
  This is an Impact 45" white satin umbrella with removable black backing. Umbrellas soften, broaden, and diminish the light output of any flash light source. Umbrellas with a white interior will soften and weaken light more than an umbrella with a silver lining. A white umbrella without a black backing may also be used as a makeshift softbox, although the use of the light will not be as efficient as with a softbox. Choosing umbrella size is determined by the size of the subject, and the strength of the light supply being used. Choosing an umbrella surface is as subjective as choosing a paint and brush. This size is perfect for a 1 - 2 person half-length portrait, or a 3x4 ft product setup.
  • Backing may be removed half way, providing a unique combination of light bounced from different surfaces.
