Here's a good on for you. This weekend, fully armed with my new, large size Flash bender based on your stellar review, I was going to try the off the TTL method you had described. Was going to follow your formula to the "T" to see if maybe it's just been a combination of things.
Well.......The area for the dance floor was in a room about the size of a 2 car garage, and the DJ's "booth" took up "1 car's worth" of space. I ended up doing everything with the flash bender. I did like the softer quality of the light, and was able to use it as a snoot for some things. All in all, it was much better than my old home made version, but I wasn't able to try any of the off camera lighting stuff.

That sounds like what happens to me. Great plans for off camera wizardry and the situation blows it up. I have purchased some of the MagMod products and that is going well so far. Oh by the way, I ordered a voice activated light stand on Amazon. I was expecting cute as a button but it works well.
