Testing the new Ranger...

OMG! That is very limiting, is isn't? So its better to have a single battery for each light than to work at the mercy of a single battery. The Digital RX pack system is not limited in this way, correct?

You do realize to be able to have a non fixed ratio you would need to have two batteries in one unit, along with two sets of powercontrols. (just as the RX powerpack has)

To change the ratio you can change the distance to the subject of lights of course. (thats where the extension cables comes handy)

A 2:1 ratio setup is actually quite common in portraiture so its more a feature then a limitation.

But yes if you want to control alot of lights on location with diffrent ratios you need alot of Rangers.

got it, thanks for the reply.

self correction: only digital AS pack is capable of different ratios, digital RX pack doesn't have that feature listed in elinchrom pdf

Yes its only the Elinchrom Micro Digital 3000 pack that is AS. The RX digital pack is not AS. (my bad)

Hello all,
I'm new to POTN, and new to the Ranger (I just bought the AS) with standard head. This may have been touched on another thread, but I wanted to let you guys know that I am getting 1/8000 sync speed with my Pocket Wizard mini tt1 and flex tt5 combo and I don't see any shutter creep... I have to go to work now, but will try to post an image later. Seem's like it is gonna make for some awesome outdoor portraits!

Sorry if you guys already knew this!
