p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Interesting Orlit/Adorama (Jinbei?) Mystery Flashes | |
So I just saw these pop up on Adorama today, with no descriptions and no fanfare:
Orlit RT 601
Orlit Rover RT
The 300ws pack/head system is at least hinted at in an earlier Orlit press release (there's a tiny image under the "coming soon" section), but I can find nothing about that monolight.
I bought two of the Orlit RT 610's (one at $700 the day it became available, and I lucked out and got another open box one for $550 a few weeks later), and I've been extremely happy with them. Interop with the Canon RT system is sweeeet. They're just rebadged Jinbei HD 610's with an Adorama warranty and added Canon RT radio compatibility.
Meanwhile, I can find nothing that Jinbei's announced so far that would seem to correspond to these releases. It looks like the RT 601 is just an RT 610 (battery-powered monolight), minus TTL,for $250 less. The Rover looks quite interesting- like a single-outlet Profoto B2 competitor- and I wonder if they'll do a ring flash.
So, if these links stay up, I guess we'll have answers from Adorama soon, but I'm pretty excited to see where they take this system.
