Using an array of small architectural lights (normally used to replaced the tungsten lights in lamps), I made a strip light with an extremely short flash duration.

you can probably get 6 cheap slave speed lights (3 across the top, 3 across the bottom)for about $27 each on amazon, secure them on the bar with tape and they will trigger when they sense an outside flash. There will be a LOT of light , but a high shutter speed will compensate for that and also really freeze the action. the whole setup is less than $200. I saw someone shoot a truck in a large garage this way.
Great idea!!! Tanks for making a video on it.
Nice. Is there any chance you can explain really quickly how you rigged them up? How are you triggering them and synching that to the camera? It's a great idea and I'm always looking for cheap(er) DIY alternatives (I am in Scotland after all…)
