(I didn't think anyone read blogs anymore, lol)<br /><br />To answer your question, as long as you don't have a battery grip attached to the camera body, the A7IV should fit in there along with the 35mm and 55mm lenses and a small flash. For comparison, my A7rii body, 55mm 1.8 & 35mm 2.8 lenses and Godox V850 strobe fits in this bag.<br /><br />Hope that helps and thanks for visiting my blog!

Think i might even want to get a second one (but then again, adjusting the levels on 8 individual strobes may be a bit excessive) ;-)<br /><br />Sounds like a cool lighting setup you have there. The Quantums are really nice - love the power and the ability to adjust levels remotely. Might invest in a set myself in the future. <br /><br />Nice work on your site, btw. :-)MauiPhotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387143068297541583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1095325784468987515.post-3873718704316889462013-06-18T06:21:46.618-10:002013-06-18T06:21:46.618-10:00Thanks Todd.

Really built well- but it got stolen and he doesn't seem to be making them anymore.<br /><br />I travel with a 3 light kit - 2 Quantum T5d's and an SB-800, plus the 2 -SB900's in my camera bag. Handles a lot of different situations. Love using the Remote head on the Quantum for boxes- keeps the body of the flash outside the box for controls with an 8' cable.<br /><br />That way I have the equiv. power of 2 speedlights or more in the box, but very lightweight & small inside - and controls where I can get at them. But the speed lights are amazing little things too.....<br /><br />This frame is with the Quantum, Wescott 28x28" box and SB-800 as backlight on the right:<br />http://www.jeffellisphoto.com/#/People/p/2Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00510753099467071651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1095325784468987515.post-26271059681880187722013-06-14T11:26:28.638-10:002013-06-14T11:26:28.638-10:00Aloha Jeff,

Lightroom usually takes care of any noise that pops up.<br /><br />Lately however, I've been running dual speed lights when I want to push more power into the Orb. Two speedlights lets me cut power on both flashes and gives me an even faster recycle time. <br /><br />Thanks for visiting the blog!<br /><br />Mahalo!MauiPhotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387143068297541583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1095325784468987515.post-17005907142727204832013-06-14T04:39:30.030-10:002013-06-14T04:39:30.030-10:00I know this is an older post, but hoping you'r...I know this is an older post, but hoping you're watching. Thanks for the review- good practical info. I've a Wescott 28x28" Apollo I use with my Quantums and like it a lot. And the Output is excellent with a Quantum.<br><br />On the 43" ORB What kind of power/ƒ-stop are you getting with Nikon Speedlights? If shooting at 1/2 or better 1/4 power for recycle time, what's realistic output with the diffuser at say 4' for a 3/4 length portrait?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00510753099467071651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1095325784468987515.post-71037577812508453182012-08-30T11:08:44.800-10:002012-08-30T11:08:44.800-10:00Haven't tried adding an ND filter into the mix...Haven't tried adding an ND filter into the mix for sunset shoots yet.

I also share in your disappointment regarding the included clamp that comes with the VML for attaching it to a light stand.<br /><br />Because of my repeated frustration with trying to get the VML securely mounted to any one of my light stands, I recently designed a new mounting system for the Vagabond Mini Lithium that I thought you (and the readers of your post) might find helpful in ending your search for the best way to mount your VML to a light stand. It's called the VML Bracket, and is making quite a name for itself as the ultimate mounting solution for the Vagabond Mini Lithium. For more information on the VML Bracket visit <a href="http://www.vmlbracket.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.vmlbracket.com</a>, and please let me know if you have any questions.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />JoeJoe Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17155360271671050651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1095325784468987515.post-46562675034110416492011-11-24T02:20:54.497-10:002011-11-24T02:20:54.497-10:00yep. agreed about the plastic mounts for the poppe...yep. agreed about the plastic mounts for the poppers... they need some cnc'd billet aluminumcoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17941331512412175566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1095325784468987515.post-45141787685740417262011-09-24T12:01:21.807-10:002011-09-24T12:01:21.807-10:00That's such an awesome location.
