As to the set-up, it was a two light set-up (I usually use 3, but I needed to call in one of the poles for the back-drop due to some technical difficulties). I almost always use speedlights these days with Fong Domes attached. Monolights take up too much space in the car, and I rarely see the added benefit when shooting pets. You want good, hard light and the flashes do a great job of providing that.

James,
not sure I agree with that: my AB400s, packed with light stands, take up very little room in my Caravan and I prefer their faster recycle time and the softer, wrap-around light I get from bouncing them off of silver umbrellas.

As for cords, the Vagabond II is a great power source and very portable. I take the ABs everywhere I need to shoot because I know exactly what I'm getting in terms of color temp and output.

I guess it's all a matter of what you prefer and what you're used to using. Since I shoot a lot of shows, I do a lot of setting up and tearing down quickly with the Bees so it's not an issue to bring them to a home or other environment.
