p.1 #2 · p.1 #2 · Are polycarbonate Honeygrids for magnum reflector durable? | |
The Honeygrid site recommends the aluminum grid for the Magnum (I think the 20 degree part is a typo). Not sure why this should be an issue absent using constant lighting. Their website states aluminum is recommended for heat over 150 degrees. Maybe if you use a the modeling lights on a constant high level this might pose a heat issue with polycarbonate??
Other than the shape of the modifier, I don't see much difference between the Magnum, Telezoom, or Narrowbeam with regard to "heat." If heat is an issue with these Profoto reflectors, it seems Honeygrid shouldn't be using polycarbonate for this line.
I've got an aluminum Honeygrid that I'm trying for my Magnum coming in this evening. Let us know your experience. I'd like to be able to save a little on these grids...
