I'd like to see Elinchrom release a AC main adapter for the Ranger pack like Profoto and Hensel does for their battery operated line.

Shooting not at full power I can shoot long enough to recharge the other battery and then swap. Oskar (Oscar) - stuff I use- Flickr

Guess then I will have to get rid of the 2 lead batteries I have (don't think they will see any use afterwards). Yeah the same though I usually only use the Quadra's for the key light when I need their fast flash duration... which is the one disappointing thing to me about their monolight range. Been meaning to find out the flash duration of an action zoom-head is on the Digital 2400rx. If anyone knows please speak up Portfolio - Fashion/Beauty

Been meaning to find out the flash duration of an action zoom-head is on the Digital 2400rx. If anyone knows please speak up  You see I don't have my own studio, so usually when I borrow one I bring my own lights (as usually the studios have some sort of Bowens stuff). So Quadra gets used as main light and rim/kick/hair light  Bethan by Oskars Lablaiks, on Flickr(should note that she is 24, looks can be misleading).  Gerard by Oskars Lablaiks, on FlickrBoth shoots unplugged Quadra at 3.0 power (or so) and it lasted for hours (~400 shots in the second shoot). Just swap batteries when the slow charge kicks in.

Point one at the background and one as key with a reflector down low. Get the subject as far from the BG as you can, don't nuke it. Would you like to buy a vowel?

If I was to guess, I'd say I can get over 100 Channel A full power shots with a Ranger RX Speed pac. I've not needed to plug in, but if I did, I'd use a Radio Popper trigger and manually set the power. Would you like to buy a vowel?

Damian75 Goldmember  1,623 posts Likes: 6 Joined Dec 2006 Location: PA More info | May 18, 2012 12:59 | #6868 So for the final update on my speedring, I just got off the phone with bogan imaging and they are replacing the speedring free of charge. I have to say that while their check in process is a bit lagging, and them having it for almost 2 weeks before it was logged in is a bit disconcerting. It's hard to be mad when they replace a 3 year old speedring for free. Also I do have to say that the few times I called, I was never put on hold for any period of time, and when they said they would call me back they did promptly. Joan from the service department was also very friendly and always answered my questions honestly. So I have to say that while I wish it could have been a bit faster I am quite please with the service overall.
