If you already have a camera and tripod, here’s an opportunity for a new career or side-hustle in studio photography. This system of strobe monolights, remote transceivers, stands, umbrellas, softbox, and reflectors is a complete professional package for shooting portraits, products, and other photos for magazines, books, and various publications. Everything packs into a hard-shell Pelican case and a sturdy wooden crate, so the system is great for on-site as well as in-house shooting. As a professional photojournalist, I used it for all of the above purposes, but am retired now, so no longer need it. Everything works well and always did. And I’m known for taking good care of my stuff.
All of this equipment has proved its worth, as evidenced by the fact that it’s all still available new on the market. Having recently priced everything out, I found that it would cost about $4000 to buy everything new. So $1675 seems like a fair asking price, especially for a complete system. Here’s a list of all the components:
• Two Photogenic PL1250 500 W/s monolights
• Photogenic PL2500 1000 W/s monolight
• (All monolights include reflectors & bulbs plus extra bulbs)
