Hi just wondering if anyone has any experience with this location flash kit.
I'm looking something fairly powerful on a budget and this seems to he the best there is without buying a Chinese copy if something .
There doesn't seem to be much in the bet about them .
 
Have you looked at the ratings of Lencarta. I have two 300w strobes of theirs and never need them at full power. These days you get what you pay for, so buy cheap and you may need to buy twice. You also need to consider reliability and back-up if needed. Lencarta have these attributes.

Thanks for your reply and that's why I don't want to buy any cheap copies, I had a look at the lencarta safari but its out of budget for me .
I have heard of Bessel before and am lead to believe their stuff is fairly good quality for the price. I plan on taking a lot of fashion type shots so was thinking I'd need at least 400w to overpower the sun
 
I don't comment on products sold or made by other people, so even if I knew anything about this, or who made it, I would have nothing to say - so this reply is general, not specific to this product.

If you do decide to go for it, my advice is to pay the extra and get the 600Ws model. 400Ws will really struggle to overpower the sun, especially with the max synch speed on your camera of just 1/200th
