It's much cheaper that way and while the equipment has been clearly used hard for years I have very very few issues.
I'm on Broncolor but I used to be on Profoto and I have a habit of getting equipment that's come out of rental houses.
One of the Alien Bees simply caught fire and another overheats with the modeling light on and shuts off. Broken umbrella mounts, LCD's that have popped in, random shutoffs, a magic smoke incident, rapid unexplained firing when the radio receiver was on, you name it. There are six Einsteins in the group Every single one of the Einsteins has had to go in. One of the Einstein users has a pair of very old white lightnings that still have screw lighting mounts and ironically those have been great. Three of them shoot Einsteins and two of them alien bees. I'd need to check with one of them but I believe all five of them without exception have needed to have their lights serviced on multiple occasions. If you think I'm going to argue about the absolutely amazing service that PCB gives you're wildly mistaken. I suppose you could get the flashpoint version so Adorama would take care of it but otherwise maybe Silvinos in LA or something similar? I want my gear to handle day to day use and function as expected, but I don't want to pay a ton extra so it can last a decade+. And as soon as global shutters make it to high-performing sensors, the lighting game will likely completely change. Features like HSS in monolights are relatively new and becoming more consistent and efficient with each release. There are advancements happening in LED technology. I have no plans to own the same lighting equipment 5 years from today. However, technology is changing very quickly. Anyways, I tend to think to think pros can draw their own conclusions about how these products would handle within their workflow from this type of approach.Ī side note, I don't significantly value longevity at an added cost right now.
Profoto posts t.5 flash durations, even looking now I can't find t.1 data on them. And in doing so I found the Godox to boost their numbers a bit, which is why I found it important to do. Well, things like t.1 flash durations are available, but not often tested. And all the while competing at a price that even my high end taste, can not ignore. I think it is a force to be reckoned with, and more than competitive in the market, checking off all my needs. Items like the overall power output, high-speed sync capabilities, flash durations, recycle time, battery life, color accuracy, build quality, service options, and the available family of accessories to complete the experience.įor me personally, I am continuously impressed with the AD600 Pro. Crucial things to consider, Hall has it covered.

Rob Hall is once again back in the lab, with a highly technical, and terrifically informative face off video, pitting Profoto’s latest B1X, versus the Broncolor Siros 800L, and new kid on the block, Godox and their AD600 Pro these are some of the best portable strobe options on the market today, compared directly against one another. No rock is left unturned here, impressively Hall deep dives as he compares a litany of features that should be important to any number of stobists out there.
