Really... I thought you have put down the \"European\" manufactures a quite a few times in the past.... If you follow the link he provided it will go to the review.
Kacey, I have not put down European manufacturers. I have, usually when a poster announces Euro lights are superior and my lights suck, compared specs and corrected mis-statements.
As to the \"Review\" . . . come on, give me a break. This is Profoto\'s web blog, not an independent review. God, if I posted a \"review\" from my website, written by a sponsored photographer, you would be all over me for bias and commercialization and using FM for hyping my products.
Are really naive enough to think Profoto is going to publish a critical review of their products on their own blog.
What I see here is a Vagabond II with a smaller battery. With it\'s 20AH battery, Vag V2 will power 960WS worth of ABs (3 AB800 (320WS each) at full power for 400 shots per charge and a recycle time of 2.7 seconds, or a 2500WS Zeus Pack for 100 full power shots . . . all for $299. See http://www.alienbees.com/VIIspecs.html
Again, if you want to buy a Profoto knock-off of my product at some ungodly price (not in the \"review\") be my guest. But my advice: Before you call something a \"review\" clarify your relationship with the company, and actually publish specs and measurements, not \"Gee it cycles fast enough for me and I got quite a few pops out of it and it was bright enough.\"
