I am an amateur photographer. I want to turn my 2 car garage into a fashion studio. Is Elinchrom BXRi 500 a good start point? I like it because I can tune the level of the output of the strobe from the Skyport on my camera hot shoe.

The following is what I did in a meetup group with beauty dish and AB strobe. I started loving the fashion photography.


Thanks!

It's great place to start. You'll love the digital controls, color, and exposure accuracy. Their light modifiers are wonderful also.

Thank you for the confirmation!

im a fan of Eli strobes as well. a bxri 500 would do wonders in a garage sized studio, me thinks.

Thank you for your positive feedback.

The 500 is a very nice unit. Good power, nice light, consistent, excellent build quality (e.g. no issues with weak mounts, etc. as with the DLites - have owned two), etc. When used with a Skyport Trx, the built-in remote power control is a god-send, especially if the light is on a boom, etc. Highly recommended.

I appreciate for your opinion.
