Pro actually just stands for professional, implying they design and market their gear for professional photographers. Professional does not automatically mean something is good. Some professionals...

Yep I agree that was most likely the purpose, but as Margret Thatcher said: "If you have to say you are, then you aren't".

Ok thanks I see a possible connection now. I guess I just don't like Einsteins name on a set of studio lights. PCB might be a genius in his own way, but Einstein so much plays in a different...

I was interested in buying a Vagamini for my Elinchrom BXRis too. Can you give some insight how many hours or shots you get out of it before the battery dies? I guess it probably also matters how...

Somebodies having a bad day it seems...

Maybe it would make the product more expensive I don't know, but it would make more sense to widen the power range than adding iphone capability.Elinchrom might want their customers buying their...

The BRX are not available until roughly Dec-2012/Jan-2013. They are the successors of the BXRi. The housing, recycle times, flash duration and power are all the same. Only difference is firmware...

If you run into an honest and knowledgeable salesperson then they can be very helpful for your decision making. The problem is not all salespeople are honest and knowledgable. See here is my story...

That's a good point. Maybe for different purposes different kits are the right choice.

My recommendation is if you have the money, buy the BXRi. If you don't have the money yet, save until you can afford the BXRi. Also, if you can wait until December 2012 or January 2013 Elinchrom...

I do have an issue right now with the light stand bag missing in the kit as well as the power cables for the lights. I have been going forth and back with B&H for 3 weeks now. B&H said they...

I first bought the Elinchrom D-Lite kit and while it is great, I quickly realized I should have purchased the BXRi kit. The D-Lite kit is what Elinchrom advertises it to be, a beginners kit. B&H...

Einstein just sounds weird to me. Albert Einstein was a Physicist not a photographer. I don't see what his name has to do with studio lights...

Yes mine is from Savage too and it as quite heavy as you stated yourself, but I am willing to deal with that.On my white version I do not have any wrinkling issues. Even if I put a wrinkle into it,...

Thanks I will try that.

I have been thinking about it and if I cannot figure out how to efficiently use the vinyl then that is just what I might have to do. Thanks.

I have a vinyl backdrop. It is white and 9'x20' large. I use it for full body length portraits, either standing or lying. The issue is that as soon as the model starts walking around on it, it...

I have the same vinyl backdrop from Savage, also 9'X20'. I have the white version. During the second time I was using it, I tore a small hole into it. I think it must have happend while we were...

It probably also depends on how far you go into the corners. In my experiment I measured the center vs the corners, right next to the edge.If your outside measurements were somewhat more towards...

Regarding the $99 price tag for replacement rings, I bet it costs them only a few dollars to make them. Elinchrom probably simply slaps a huge margin on those rings, because their customers have...
