Default Lighting Logistics
Ok, venturing into the wonderful world of off-camera lighting. Got Alien Bees RF transmitter/receiver for my flash. Anyway, my question is about logistics.

So, let's say I'm shooting a wrestling tournament. Mats in the middle of a big (poorly-lit) gym. Let's also say I want to place two flashes remotely. How do you manage this? I mean, there are a lot of people roaming around. I'm worried about my flash(es) being stolen. How do others handle this?

Been scratching my head over this for a while.

Thanks.

or since your boy wrestles, you must know some other parents, ask them to keep an eye on it and take some pics of their matrat in exchange!

Tape your flashes to the rafters, then stick a sign on them that says "DANGER, HIGH VOLTAGE!" and people will think twice before removing them. The funny thing is that you're not lying either - there is about 10000V surging through the flash head.
