I just can\'t get over how ugly light blue plastic is. Was their designer color blind?
The Flashman packs don\'t look too bad, a mix of blue and black. Some of the old 404 era packs and especially the reflectors are **really** ugly though! The Pulso A4 look pretty decent.
I\'ve been tempted by their Mobil but the Pico\'s built-in reflector is a dealbreaker for me. It\'d be such a nice little head if the bulb just poked out a little.
It has a 120 degree spread, which is not too bad! I think that is equal to about the widest reflector that Bron makes, the Travel reflector.
You could crop the aluminum to get the tube to stick out. But you would lose the color correcting glass - maybe -500 degrees?
I thought about doing that to one head for my Para, but never bothered.
The Mobil can also take any other Bron head, without using the modelling light. Folks rarely use modelling lights on those packs anyway (like the Profoto Acute 600b.) The Unilite is an intermediate-size head that I use for location that can go \"bare bulb\" without a reflector.
If you want modelling lights to **really** use, you have to go to a bigger/heavier battery system like the Bron Verso (or Profoto B2.)
Best,
