    I want to put together a small portable setup that I can bring to somebodys house to take portraits (full length/head shots/Family) I had originally thought about a Lastolite Hi Lite http://www.lastolite.com/hilite-backgrounds.php I think the one I looked at was 5' by 7' and to use two flash guns (580exII and 430ex) one flashgun on camera bounced and one in the hilite to brighten the background and give some separation to the subject. The other option would be to get something like an Elinchrom DLite 4 kit and a collapsible background, this might work out a bit bulky in somebodys house but would be more powerful and probably give a better shot. The Hilite is approx €500 and the Dlite 4 is €849 and the to factor in a background too so probably about €1000 http://www.berminghamcameras.ie/store/index.php?target=products&product_id=2274

    Anybody using the Elinchrom kits and whats the setup time and space needed. Just looking for some opinions regarding the kits...:)

    Can't help but just a heads up on the Dlite 4 kit. It has been reduced to €699.

    Lovely kit... and 699 is a steal for it.
