There are quite many similar looking ring flashes floating around on the market, Jinbei, Lencarta and Elinchrom all kinda looks the same. Oskar (Oscar) - stuff I use- Flickr

I do not have a ranger pack so I was looking for the Jinbei one, is it cheaper than the ranger pack + that head? Don't try to confuse me with the facts, my mind is already made up.

This keeps prices artificially inflated and profits high. On the other hand, it also creates backorder situations and long waiting periods for customers wanting to purchase the most basic items from them. Canon 5D2 > 35L-85L-135L

They carry the Profoto stuff too, I almost went that way instead Ms.Jannie

Bad business model, to say the least. dave Never had the issue like this with the local distributer in Europe, so it might be the US distributer who can't keep stock levels up to the demand :P Oskar (Oscar) - stuff I use- Flickr
