I am thinking about upgrading to some off camera flashes.
Does anyone have any experience with the Bolt VB-22. B&H has a kit on sale that is advertised as 500 bucks off. Seems like a great deal. But I have not seen to much about the Bolt brand. |

Never heard of the brand, although they've gotten 14 good reviews.
All the specs look about right, but with off-brands, you'll never know how durable they are in the field. You may want to try the Flashpoint flashes over at Adorama. This guy seems to like them and use them a bunch in his instructional videos. Just another option out there. http://www.adorama.com/FPLFSL180K1.html?utm_source=Youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_content=video&utm_campaign=Day%20and%20Night%3A%20Take%20and%20Make%20Great%20Photography%20with%20Gavin%20Hoey%20 |
