p.2 #1 · Profoto or Elinchrom. Help!

Thing I hate about the Quadras is the power ratio crap... That's what I like about monolights - individual control.

Why can't there be nice portable Profoto monolights with built-in battery cartridges? I wish I could JUST carry the light and nothing else. Like speedlights...

Like I said Kurtis, you don't get everything with one kit, pick your priorities and find the kit that best suits it.

Yeah I know nothing exists at this point that does everything we want. Not sure why that is though... Surely they -could- create such a product. Maybe they just need to see the light [har - pun intended].

One thing people don't seem to have mentioned about the Quadra is the skyport system. Remote power change is a huge win for me since I'm always putting strobes in hard to reach places.

I don't think profoto offer that yet...

i thought that the profoto acuteB 600R with the built in remote was the same as the built in quadra skyport reciever?

600R has a built in PocketWizard. Will trip the flash but no remote power adjustment IIRC.

I see. Got a skyport transmitter with me right now. Theres a light bulb with the + and - buttons which im guessing is used to change the power. Sweet Alex! Thanks for the heads up.

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