Ok so the quadra is something im toying with. Mostly small and because I also want to use it for sports based portrait aswell (the flash duration with A head in B socket)... I am not worried about only 120 shots off a battery, as ill have a spare, and as discussed ages ago have ruled out the lencarta safari due to the flash duration. At only a 400w punch though I am questioning if it would have the punch needed to light a car from several feet away in decent daylight. (i understand it will struggle to overpower it). I have looked at the normal ranger RX due to the power, but for the price of a ranger an 2 heads/2 batterys I could have two quadras which gives me more flexibility in light positioning without massive expensive cables... In the uk the quadra is currently 1350 with 2 heads, and the ranger rx is 1600 with one head, so factoring in another head + trigger/reciever and a case is nearly double the price. So for that I could get 2 quadras and run 2x400s or 4lights and have alot more flexibility. So is there anyone here who shoots cars who fancies giving their opinion/discussion on if alot of power really is needed etc..... Example of a shot by danfreeman.
