The best bargain I got is the Westcott 7ft umbrella, yup, 7ft. But even that is £100, but most light modifier that size are near £1k.

It's amazing, so nice to have a large light source.

That’s a beast in of an umbrella!

I am ready to ditch my I60a and Air commander for the pika 200 and a Godox v860ii. This will give the portability and increase in power I require along with greater (cross)system compatibility. Godox offers far better value for money and on -the -fly firmware updates via mini usb. I feel it's a system you can grow with. This will help with the studio situation; I just wish they would stop giving the same hardware across their range a number of different names. Apparently under the name of Pixapro Pika 200 it is not in stock or available until Nov 21st. Their suppliers, Essential Photo are offering 5% discount if you wait and don't buy it under its other name of Godox Ad 200 from somebody else.
