Is this a good price for the Ranger RX?

$2,285.39
You Save:
$747.61 (25%)

I am torn between this and the small Quadra.
Just wondering if the Ranger is not too heavy and bulk to carry around.

The Visico boxes are ok. Not great, not terrible. The grids have much to be desired. Materials and build are ok.

i am thinking of ordering a OCT Box from them.. because my PCB PLM 64 is probably going to break on a job soon and i need a back up.. ! i guess i would rather have mediocre and using it than not having it at all..

Is what i was talking about, they seem OK?

Good for the money. It's not Rotalux but then it doesn't cost as much as a Rotalux either. Probably your only option for an affordable gridded stripbox.

Cheers Ed. The few kinds of shoots I have in mind for when I get going basically require a strip box, so I think I'll give this one a go.

It's about $50 cheaper from B&H for the same kit.

Yeah, didn't know if that was a limited supply or not. Whereabouts is it for sale?

Also ... does it come with a bag?

No Bags Mickey, I inquired about the bags and factory guys said that bags are not manufactured in India to keep the export freight low plus buyers locally do not bother that much for bags. If you are intrested in buying, its 225 including shipping and I'm sending you my PP ID. Not in hurry, but I wont be available today so just providing you the information. :)
