It came to me in a flash!..

I have been speaking to a friend of mine, who is also a member on here, about the idea of a portable studio kit.

She thought it was a great idea.

Any idea which one would be suitable for a joint budget of around £300?

The Jessops advert in all photo magazines show one by Portaflash for £299.99.

Hanne has also seen this one:

There are plenty of good cheap ones, but avoid Portaflash and Interfit at all costs

For £50 extra on your budget you can get the Elinchrom D-Lite 2 Two Head Kit which would be a great bit of kit for starting out with.

I hear the Interfit's aren't that bad - you get what you pay for, but for £200 for the EX150 I think it's fairly hard to beat.
