Here is a neat looking 320w/s pack system, that is fairly small, portable, and even "looks" rain resistant. Cheap too, considering the kit includes a cheerful radio trigger, a charger, and some mouting accessories.
I don't know if the front reflector is removable.
To top it all off, this unit has "Professional Flash" written on it!
2nd note: even manufacturers are tagging images with "Strobist info"? Talk about jumping the shark.
I was astonished to see how big a presence Jinbei had at this past PhotoPlus Expo. I wonder if some of these knockoff and Southeast Asian brands are starting to gain traction in the larger market?
"sample shots - taken during a strobist meeting held in Melbourne. Here you can see two of these little units used in anger all day long ( 6 hours ) and still kicking a week later"
...still kicking a week later? I hope that's not unexpected.
there's actually 400w, 600w and 1200w from this brand, kinda a big brand in china
invented very long time ago too, WAY before quadra came out
what i remember was like 2800RMB for the 600w pack with a head, come with a case too
basically they have all kinds of lighting modifiers, even stuff u can find on profoto/elinchrom/broncolor etc...
elinchrom rip ppl too much with their quadra, but they got lots of distributors and reliable
down side for these cheap strobe, they only have warranty in china haha
and not totally reliable
dats why they aren't sold world wide... yet
Says 2.5 sec recharge at full power on the 320 w/s unit.
How do AB manage to get such a huge amount of pops and such a fast recycle time out of their budget pack compared to pretty much everyone else out there?
