Hi, I need help fast. Profoto and Elinchrom are having a big sale and I dont know whether to get the profoto acuteB 600 generator or the elinchrom quadra.
Here are prices and spec comparison:
$2399 - ELINCHROM Ranger Quadra To Go Speed \"A\" Case Set
-2 A heads that sync 1/6000 T5, 400WS on one head or 66%+33%
-6.6lb or 3kg battery weight
-150 Full power flashes per charge
-2 batteries
-$400 per softbox
$2299 - PROFOTO AcuteB 600 Battery Generator incl Charger and Sync Cable
-Price includes 1 Acute B 600 head that goes for 900 bucks retail
-600 w/s
-10.8lbs or 5kgs battery weight
-150 full power flashes per charge
-1 battery instead of two
-only 1 head instead of two
-$800 per softbox, will use third party softboxes maybe
advantage of getting elinchrom - lighter, cheaper for softboxes, two batteries is cool, two lights are cool, but less well built when connected to big softboxes
advantage of profoto - more powerful, softboxes less likely to break over weak head connections??
This is for weddings and engagements so I\'m putting the poll here.
Any advice would be great. I\'m gonna buy tomorrow with JClay so I need advice FAST. Thank you.
