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.

A link would be nice. Never heard of that brand though.

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.

I have been watching his videos I like how he shoots and how he explains his set up.

I'd be more interested in something like this.

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1084510-REG/dynalite_b4_400_baja_b4_battery_powered_monolight.html

It's also battery powered, from a known reliable manufacturer and you could kit it out with all the accessories in the above kit and still be ahead on performance and quality for a similar price.
