This has to be a screw-up.:confused:
1 Elinchrom 600RX monolight is $978. http://www.bhphotovide​o.com …ital_Style_600R​X_600.html (external link)
The Skyport RX dedicated system is $260. http://www.bhphotovide​o.com …t_RX_Dedicated_​Radio.html (external link)
BUT....
You can buy a kit which contains 2 600RX monolights AND the Skyport RX dedicated system for $1650!! http://www.bhphotovide​o.com …al_Style_Combo_​600RX.html (external link)
That has to be a mistake. $566 less. If I had the $$, I would jump all over this!

B&H sells a single 600RX for $896.95, not $978.00, so you're really only saving around $86 for the two heads plus the cost of the remotes. And it's a "for order" item so you have to give them the money up front and then wait more than a week to get them (I ordered an item from them once and it took them over two months to get it and ship it to me).

But it's still a good deal if you were planning to get two 600RX strobes anyway and don't mind the wait.

That's one of the package deals that Elinchrom is offering -manufacturer sponsored deal. There are several different packages and some are sort of bizarre with like an RX head and a ranger battery pack and an AS head. But they seem to be pretty good deals if your in the market for what they are offering.
The one you showed is actually a savings of $144 on the heads and you get the Skyports free meaning you really saved right around $400. Thats pretty good.
