Yes
At the moment I'm selling my studio kit due to lack of use and to free up a little cash, however I don't want to give up on it all together.

So given that I will still have this little lot left over what bits should I get to give me a cheap home studio.

NISSIN DI 866 MK II
Yongnuo YN-468
YONGNUO RF-602/C - Wireless Trigger Flash
Telescopic background support

Basically I'm looking for cheapie but not totally rubbish stuff, so if you have links that would be great.

This stuff is just for learning, not for anything pro or chargeable at all.

Ta.
 
Couple of cheap Konig stands + umbrellas + adapters?

Thanks I'll check both those out - I would never have though of an ink supplier!
 
Lots of choice on there - now at this stuff I really am a novice, so which bits do I need, obviously a stand, an umbrella, but is the adapter something to attach the flash to the stand or the umbrella to the stand, or knowing my luck both!

Also what sort of brolly should I be looking for and in what quantities?

Also I take it these are better than the 7day shop ones?

It's both. I'll add some link in a while, just having my dinner right now.
 
Ah, thank you - much appreciated.

...these are just examples, but there are loads of different varieties out there, so it really depends on your budget.

You don't say how many RF-6032s you have. If you have a pair (1 transmitter and 1 receiver) then it might be worth investing in another receiver for the 2nd speedlite. This way you can have both of them off-camera, on the stands. I was assuming you'd have 2 of everything in this case.

Thats great cheers - as it happens I have two receivers so with that lot I'm on my way :)

EDIT: I thought I had two... oh well, not a problem.

Cool, just got that little lot - just under £40 (+ another £17 on eBay for a second receiver)

I found a pair of umbrellas which rated well (link) so went with that instead.

I almost got a chroma sheet until I watched a video on correct set up and I just don't have the room or lighting anyway, so out with a couple of bedsheets for playing :)
