I wrote about what was being discussed, which was a statement that Scoro could be set to whatever t.1 you want and the oft misunderstood implication one could, at the same time, set both the t.1 time and the WS. I can't count the number of posts I've seen that say "Scoro can do 1/8000 t. and any color temperature you want at any power you set it to." This is pure hogwash and ignorance and/or misinformation. I'm not knocking Bron - just setting facts straight.
You launched into an attack about what I didn't post and that somehow I was withholding or evading something, and made the ridiculous implication the Scoro is 9 times faster than Zeus. Sure, Scoro is an IGBT system and Zeus is not (nor is Dynalite, Speedotron or any number of other packs.) In fact the core full power t.1 duration of Zeus at 2500WS is 3.5 times as fast as the core full power t.1 of Scoro 3200 WS, and twice that of the lower power Scoro 1600. The core t.1 of Einstein at full is 1/600 and the minimum t.1 at low power is 1/13,500.
On a more apples to apples comparison (Bron Monolight to Buff Monolight) the Bron Visatec Logos 1600 600 Watt/Second Monolight (120V AC) has a full power t.1 of 1/200 and a minimum power (1/16) t.1 of about 1/120, and a color shift of about 300° . A non-IGBT 640WS AB is about 1/650 t.1 at full and 1/400 at 1/16 power at an essentially identical color shift. RX600 is virtually identical to AB 640WS model (AB1600) in these parameters.
Einstein has a 1/600 t.1 at Full and 1/4000 t.1 in Constant Color Mode or 1/10,000 t.1 at 1/16 power in Action Mode.
I suggest if you want extremely complete info on Einstein, go to http://www.paulcbuff.com/pcb2009/einstein.html and click "download manual".
For those interested, here is link to Bron Visatec 600WS monolight specs and price. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/316156-REG/Visatec_51_051_00_Logos_1600_600_W_S.html#specifications
Maurice, you, along with anyone else, are welcome to write about Einstein anytime you want. But I would check your bias and smart remarks at the door. State the true facts as I have done here.
Nothing inaccurate was started by me. You are the one comparing the Zeus to a IGTB pack in the first place. NOT ME. Did you not write that Zeus was 1/300s and the Scoro does only 1/85s? In fact the data on your web site for a regular head shows 1/260s not 1/300s for the Zeus (confusing and not consistent). Back to topic, all I do is ask you about how short a flash duration the Zeus can do. All you do is bring it back to comparing the flash duration in non IGTB context at MAX POWER and max power only. There is no mention at all of what Zeus shortest duration truly is. And how hilarious and again inconsistent that you bring higher WS into discussion since you did not build the Einstein with more WS specifically because, as you say, most photographers DON'T use higher power.
Your true facts only come with selective data. Read your posts, you bring up “10K Euro packs” to compare with Einstein, and now the “apple to apple” comparison of “much more technically comparable” mono lights. Something don’t ad up! And by the way if you did read my posts you would have noticed that I’m well aware that you can’t get full power and fastest duration at once on the Scoro. My experience is with 1600ws packs. What I wrote: “Under around 1200ws, the pack start letting you manually overwrite the flash duration. The lower you go, the more control and you don't have to go all the way down to lowest power to get full max flash duration under your fingers”. These are true facts. Nowhere do I combine full power and fastest duration. Your 3200ws with 1/8000s at full power is a totally made up story coming out of the blue (voodoo). The only true fact about it is that you came up with it, no one else. State the true facts as I have done here… There are not many posts on Scoro and flash duration out there and I don't see how you can't count them. Please do me a favor and post all those links, I'd love to read them all.
By the way thanks for welcoming me to post about your product on someone else’s forum. That’s truly impressive.
