Looking for new strobes lights
hello everyone this my first post .. my question is about equipment. I am planning to buy two new strobes lights, but I'm not sure which brand I should. Currently I'm using elinchrom. But I'm looking for 1000w heads with faster recharge that can I get. Someone recommend me the prophoto strobes. any comments or suggestions? I usually work in studio or indoor locations. Tks a lot!

Apr 19 14 06:16 pm Link I like Elinchrom but they are not as fast a recharge as profoto if that is what you really need. I don't shoot that fast and I am happy with them or my older speedotron packs Apr 19 14 06:22 pm Link I use Dynalite. Power packs are small and they sell kits too. Apr 19 14 07:19 pm Link The limits on recycle time - based on my observations may be how much power can come from the wall without blowing circuits. I remember selling some 220 packs to people to overcome this problem. Right now - I think 1000 watt seconds draws about 8 amps so 2 will be the limit on a 15 amp circuit.. For them to charge faster than 1 second would draw more power. Apr 20 14 02:28 am Link Also you will have slower recycle times when you are running on battery power instead of household current. I second Dynalites for fast recycle times in that power range. Although that is a lot more power than I typically need. It all depends on the subject. Apr 21 14 09:38 am Link |
