Impact PowerSync16 DC Radio Slave System is good but still need some accessories to work.
If you calculate everything needed and the size of the equipment probably $1500 for 3 flashes aren't too much.
Maybe there is better and cheaper option but I didn’t find it.

Man where do you get all these amazing shrimp? And do you have a separate tank per color?

I think I'd rather stick with my cheap ebay triggers and use this to connect to my Novatron power pack: $15 only

I import them from over seas. Taiwan and Germany.

I've always known that's where you get breeding stock, but I do want to know if you need any special importing papers to do that on your scale.

**sbarbee54** · 01-25-2013, 10:55 PM

Yes you need importing certs and docs and a decent amount of money to meet the min orders they set. The more you buy from them the better the pricing gets to a point. We are just fortunate that speedie and some others front the money to help us out. You make a profit off it but you are not going to make money hand over fist doing it

^^ Thanks for the explanation Steve.

Mark - I do it because I love the hobby and I love photography. Both go hand in hand. To add to what Steve said, shipping charges, import fees, licensing fees, Customs bond, etc... all these cost $$$. In order to make importing worth while, one MUST order large orders. Otherwise, you're better off buying your shrimp Stateside.

**MABJ** · 01-26-2013, 06:03 AM

I'll never be an importer myself, but I'm interested to know what you deal with. That's really good to know though!! Thank you.

I know you love the hobby and photography. TPT benefits from it daily

I don't even like Wine Reds...but those are bad A$$....I think the deeper red color looks better than the light red versions...I will take #1,2 and 3! Send those babies over!

Are you taking them with or without Photoshop?

Just kidding those shrimps and pictures are stunning.

Photoshop? If anybody is shooting a digital SLR and don't believe in the use of Photoshop, they should just stick to film

. It's a revolutionary tool. You just have to learn how to use it properly.

I think the dragon black marbling helps the red to pop more. Gives a nice compare/contrast.
