Cool!
But I'm on a diet
Wait I'll make cupcakes for everyone else and I'll look like I lost weight.
Yeah that's the ticket.
But seriously, great find and tutorial.
It makes you wonder what's the problem with Elinchrom.
Nice solution. I made a improvised cover with two CD's glued together with velcro straps in between. I works but yours is nicer and has an added feature.
Next month there is a fairly large annual photo trade show here in the Netherlands, the main Elinchrom distributor will attend. I will ask again, no high hopes.
Has anyone asked the US distributor about this?
We could set up a petition: Angry Quadra owners demand a proper head cover. Serious, I'm willing to co-ordinate.
Elinchrom is developing a cover for the Quadra heads. I seen the prototype at my local Elinchrom dealer in Belgium. Basically it’s a flat hard plastic disk with clips on the side that snaps on the end of the Quadra head that can be used as a diffuser. The problem was it was tough to get off. My deal said that Elinchrom should have them on the market later in the year…………..or next
They should have them later in the year, or next? How hard is it to make a little disc protector? I think Elinchrom really dropped the ball on that one, it seems pretty obvious that it should have some sort of protection.

There was a message in a German Photo forum some days ago that Elinchrom will deliver a head cover for the Quadra this February or March.

From what I have read, it's something like socaldan has made for himself: a combined head cover, small diffusion box including a filter holder. Product code is E25100 here in Switzerland.
Dan,
Thanks for a great contribution. I don't have lights now, looking around and the Quadra is on my list. Also, you have some really nice work on your blog site.
Price equates to about 14 euro's or 19,50 US dollars.
The site states that there is no known delivery date.
Amazing it had to take this long to fabricate a small piece of plastic.
Just talked to someone at Bogen. They confirmed the product shown in the Scandinavian web site is real, and is being brought to the US "soon".
If these things really are combination diffuser/gel holders then they are potential game-changers when used with the PCB PLM. That'll help cut down on bulk needed to shoot while increasing utility.
