High Powered Monolight

zeeps · 18th December 2007, 11:21 AM

Has anyone played with highpowered monolights for indoor and outdoor use. Something powerfull enough to use outside in the sun?

So far the whitelightning x series looks tempting.

x1600 and x3200 in particular as they can operate in a reduced powermode for faster recycling.

I'd love to hear on more options/opinions.

Nice, the sliding reflector and handle are a great idea. At the moment that's the kind of kit I'd hire when needed. Looking for something a little easier on the wallet to kick around with

Looking into Ronnie's monolights atm.

Ronnies gear will be an affordable way to get into it

Well worth the monies

yeah they're great... we got them hooked up to two Profoto Pro-7b batteries (so we can do location shoots), a beauty dish and grills, a softbox and an 8ft umbrella, and a Profoto ProRing....

best part i've used them once in 6 months.. haha... but we just got some studio space so I hope to get to play a bit more... might make a few extra bucks doing some simple headshots and so forth...

Haha, might as well rent out your studio :P

Yeah I've decided to start off 1 light from ronnie, experiment with that and add more as I need them
