4. Hive Lighting Yokes (aka Profoto Yokes) x2
Strong brackets that also make brilliant and VERY strong brackets for Profoto heads or mods as Hive uses the Profoto mount. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/prod...ve_c_paym_portable_style_adjustable_yoke.html. VERY secure aluminium units, strong as hell, light and compact. No boxes. some small signs of use.
US$105 each w/shipped by Canada Post untracked small packet air. Payment by EFT or PP. If want the yoke(s) with the kit, drop me a line.
Now for the interesting stuff & pics
Quadra A Tubes
The safest way to photograph the tubes w/o handling them directly was with still inserted in the Quadra A Heads I (very) permanently modified to be used w/Profoto mods.
The Profoto 'collars' fit Profoto mount and the light can still mount (as shown) Quadra mods (or Eli ones with the Eli-Quadra adapter - have one for sale). The useless "Has it cracked yet?" Quadra umbrella holders have been removed and aren't coming back. The head attaches via a straight female plug (not 90 a deg) using an Eli Quadra extension cable due to the depth, and for some reason I can't recall, there's a female 1/4-20 receptor (red doodad) epoxied to the rear.
Hive Brackets
The two Hive brackets are in great shape and lock on stands and Hive/Profoto heads like a politician on a bribe.
I've added two DIY umbrella holders. The holder cannot rotate, has a captive screw lock for the shaft and involved no drilling into the Hive unit as the two 'tabs' on either side of the yokes have 1/4" holes in them from the factory for bolt-on goodies.
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A LOW-COST FLASH KIT WITH VERY FAST FLASH DURATIONS ACROSS ITS ENTIRE POWER RANGE THAN CAN USE PROFOTO, QUADRA OR ELINCHROM MODS, THIS IS YOUR TICKET (WITH THE OPTIONAL PACK). I'm keeping a matching pack and head pair as a backup for use with our Hasselblad (fast flash duration)
