I'm torn between 3 Profoto D1 Air or 3 Hensel Integra Plus and I'd appreciate comments.
Speed isn't an issue (and should I ever need a fast head I could rent it). Availability of Hensel stuff isn't an issue either as I'm living in Germany. I have used both and to me it looks like:
Profoto D1:
- Position of flash tube (dome required in certain situations)
- Mount of light shaping stuff via clasp
- Stand mounting (getting them into vertical position is a problem)
+ Profoto Air
+ 7 stop range
Hensel Integra Plus:
+ Position of flash tube
+ Mount of light shaping (very fast and easy)
+ Stand mounting
- Strobe Wizzard Plus
- 6 stop range
At the moment I'm not sure if I would regret having a 6 stop power range if I could have had 7 stops had I spent more money. Hensel were the less painful investment (assuming both Profoto and Hensel are reliable)
Usage: Images of small machines etc.
