I know I'd like a couple of off-camera strobes and remotes, but I'm not sure I need them yet. I'm still working out how much light is not enough in low-light situations. I can get another stop of usable light if I use a tripod, for example. I rarely bother with the on-camera flash, though. It seems harsh and unflattering an it's useful distance is limited.

None of this is to say I don't want some strobes. Rather, I think a decent tripod and head are a better investment of my limited funds for use on photography.
