I'm not going to promote any one brand - but for $5000, you can get a nice setup with many different systems - like Broncolor-Profoto-Elinchrom-Hensel-Calumet-Speedotron-and many others. As mentioned by alot of people in this post, this is a long term investment - so don't try go cheap just to get more items. It will only cost you more in the long run. Do your own research & see what works best for you. Every photographer has their own style & what works great for one photographer isn't always ideal for another. Remember there's alot that you'll need to go along with your lights & the list of brands for this is even bigger than the strobe manufacturers. Plume Wafers, Chimera, Red Wing, Photoflex & Westcott all have people that swear by their products. You are the only person that can really decide what is best for you. Research & research some more so you know what YOU want to buy... A great place to look where you can see alot of gear & specifications is the B&H Photo website - I'm not promoting them (even though I do order stuff from them) but it's a good place to look up products & get specs & features because they carry alot of brands. Have fun with your investment.
