Just not for my use case, unfortunately.

Yep! Shame they don't make a 2x1/3x1 (or perhaps, lucky they don't).

Yes, panels are easily feathered too, albeit that it helps of they have some kind of softbox (even if it's a shallow one). With grids, even more so.

Yes, they can be. For me it's not a problem as they're close enough for headshots that they can be turned way down and properly feathered, and (in any event) I go for slightly "squinted" eyes most of the time. It's definitely something to be aware of, though.

Nanlite are superb, high quality lights for sure. In fact, I almost bought a few Forza 300ii's a couple of weeks back as they were 50% off, but sadly stock ran out as I was about to hit the buy button. In terms of COB LEDs generally, they can be great for still life/product photography, and...

You make a very good point - I really must start carrying my A6300 around with me.

C stands are fine when used properly, but so are regular stands. A boom arm should just need a proper counterweight and you shouldn't have any issues.

You're a star, thanks (and tethered shooting for headshot gigs is something I definitely need to get to grips with).

Thanks, and all of that seems quite pertinent (and therefore reassuring).

Reassuring, thanks.
