Thanks for the flash light tip, i tried using my phone one night with the led flash turned on like a flash light just wasn't enough, It was a no light situation, so i had my g/f hitting the test button on the PW to try and get a focus! haha. It was funny to watch her do, she is 5'1" and the light stand was at about 8'+6" for the umbrella fold mount and everything. (umbrella left off)
Can you recommend the one you use or do you think something else would be better?
