New Elinchrom Stuff

Those zoomable heads look interesting. I just have no idea in general when it is actually landing in the US.

I'm assuming it won't be for a few months. I personally have no need for it, but i'm sure there are folks out there that do.

At the very least, folks who use poorly fitting third party rings could find a use for these to ensure the flashtube is in the best location for spread.

I am thinking more how they might function with a gridded reflector.

Dude,

Where is the mid size indirect light bank that they showed in their promo shoot? I want two of those!

I seem to remember mid 2011 as the production date? I could be wrong.

Either way, I am a happy camper so don't mistakenly consider this a complaint. Eli is not the only manufacturer out there...

It was released a while ago, but it was nothing like the promo video. They've since taken it off and are r-releasing a new version as far as I know.

Let's hope. The last one was horrible. I passed the comments on to one of the owners. Wonder if that lead to them pulling it. Hmm.

Giorgo, I should receive the first one in Switzerland, but the delivery date changes from month to month... Stability problems...
I'm waiting also for a speedring to adapt my Rotalux to the Hensel heads. They said over a year ago they will produce it.... Where is it? Grrrrrrrr...;-)

Thanks for the update!
I guess we wait?
Rem, please be certain to post when you get the modifier!

Yeah I'd really like to see the new version. I've been holding off on getting the Setti as it might produce the results I'm after and be collapsible.

I queried Elinchrom about the promised Rotalux rings compatible with flash units from other manufacturers. I received a not particularly helpful response back on July 4:

"We will release it when we think it’s the right time for us.
As usual we will announce this on our website."

Thanks, Elinchrom. I haven't bothered asking again.

Yesterday I received a phone call, that I receive tomorrow the Elinchrome deep 150cm indirect Rotalux. The first one in Switzerland. But they told me that the situation for this unit is still very bad. Also still no Adapters for Hensel...

Rem,
Does indirect mean that the flash head is pointing the other way, and the light is bouncing back?
Also wondering if you've heard of a hood for the 27in. Deep Octa?
cheers
 

rem

New member
Yes Carlo that means it. I will post a picture if you are interested. What do you mean with a "hood" for the deep octa?
rem

thanks Rem - by hood I mean the outer skirt around the edge
that can flag off flare. Just remembered - its called a hooded diffuser sumthin...They have one for the 100cm but not for the smallest deep octa,
and since I chose the small size, I want to minimize the falloff of the light.
please do send me a pic if you can...this is very interesting...thanks again

Carlo, the number for the 70cm hooded diffusor is: EL26770. I sent you some pics to your gmail adresss.
lg, rem

after long waiting received, the first deep octa indirect 150cm. Setup is very easy, one minute or so. Comes also with an adapter to make a direct light, inkl, deflector.
