->> Anyone shot at AAC? What kind of available light can I expect? Also, I'm renting a block of strobes. What will I need to hook into their strobes?

->> Mark,

I've shot there several times and haven't been too pleased with the available light. However, you can get 500 at 2.8.
Lighting is somewhat uneven.
Hope this helps----Lisa

->> If you're shooting NBA basketball, the strobe syncs are run out to the hoops for you. Any other event and you're on your own. The connections are tucked away in the tunnels leading to the playing floor. There are four tunnels, and there is a connection junction in each of them. Bring a sync with a household connector. I might suggest running a line out to wherever you are shooting as the building is not the most radio friendly one around.

->> Thanks for the help. Actually, I'm shooting a rodeo which will make it even tougher for available light. I'll bring a sync with household and some extra line. Thanks for the input.

->> If you have a Pocket Wizard, I'd use that so you can move around without your cord getting tangled. You can run the line out from the tunnel and secure it closer to the rail. Then add you receiver. That will give you some freedom.
