This is the exact same combo I recommend to people regularly. Kudos for not trying to upsell people on more than they need. I encourage the few extra bucks for the black cover like you gave a nod to, and an umbrella diffuser, because then you have shoot-through, shoot-in, and softbox in one affordable package.

Just got the v860iii and x2t and found your video looking at budget modifiers and setups. I've been a hobbyist for maybe 10 years or so but flash has always intimidated me. Ive realized that flash is just such a game changer though and adds so much dimension and sharpness. A video I'd like to see would be on getting side gigs as a photographer. I have a full time job, and don't think I'd like being a full time photographer, but would love if i could get myself a few portraits here amd there to put money back into the hobby. Subbed and liked - thanks!

Wow, that was very helpful and easy to follow. I watch a TON of photography videos. You stand out by a long shot. You have a natural way of teaching and leading. I hope and would encourage you to make more videos. I'd love to see more videos around flash; if this is the budget set up, what does the upgrade look like, and the upgrade after that? How do you shoot different types of portraits (moody, cheerful, stoic, timeless, etc...). How do you get your clients to loosen up in front of your lens (posing, getting them to laugh, get them to feel natural, etc...). I'd love to hear how to shoot other studio work like products or food. I'd love to hear your workflow in editing your photos. I'd also love to hear about breaking into the photography industry; ideas on how to start, how to charge, and how to work your way up to bigger clients. Again, you have a real talent in explaining and walking the viewer through. I wish you the best and am subscribing to your channel.
