There is a good read on Strobist about the Elinchrom gear. Both Ranger RX and Quadra discussed.

Yep + and - change the power, if you hold the one with the light bulb you get the modeling light. I love it!

Can I come too...er...wait a minute...

I bought NOTHING because the sales guy seemed more interested in his buddies then actually helping me. Apparently Vistek's smallest head weighs more and costs more than the tripod I was looking at. Hmm....179$ head, 129$ tripod legs...

Henry's wasn't much better.

The 600r rocks.

I have some Profoto stuff that's great, but would never use it for wedding/esesh/location work as mine lacks battery power, is heavy and cumbersome etc... I use a pair of Quantum Qflashes for location work, but if I were starting over I would get a pair of these Norman 400BR's... 400ws, very portable, great affordable modifiers available, and Pocketwizard receivers built in. Just perfect for location or wedding stuff...
