I put a snoot on my YS-01. I love it, but struggle because the focus light on the YS-01 is so weak it does not penetrate the snoot. So I'm left guessing where to shoot.
The problem is, I want it all.
1) A decent strobe upgraded from the YS-01 that I can shoot with a snoot without the guessing of where the light will land. It needs to have a focus light that can penetrate the snoot. I'd love something more powerful to add to my photography equipment.
2) The ability to take the snoot on/off so I can use the strobe as a strobe (The FlipSnoots are pretty cool for this)
3) Affordable
(Affordable is defined as <$700 ideally)
Is it a pipe dream?
And I know many of you are going to say Backscatter Mini Flash with Snoot, but I can't find the specs on it?
How wide is the beam with/without diffuser?
What's the guide number?
I don't think it's any more powerful than my YS-01 so I struggle to drop the coin for upgrading to something with a focus light. I'd rather go all in on something that will upgrade both my strobe and snoot experience.
If there's something that is >$700 tell me about it so I can decide which kid to sell off. (It's a joke...maybe)
TIA
