From what I have read, elinchrom's flash duration gets slower when the strobe is not at full power. So when elinchrom is at minimum power, it has a pretty lengthy flash duration compared to speedlites which have the fastest flash duration at minimum power and the slowest at maximum.
im thinking bout the bxri 500 systym? firstly can i use my pocket wizards with them, and apart from the mains power, can they be run from a portable battery pack?
Alien Bees Vagabond II? Can you please tell me if the Vagabond II can power the White Lightning X-Series X1600 Flash Unit as well as the The AlienBees B1600. Also I have a Photoflex Medium 5' Octodome and I would like to know if I can fit that on either of the heads I mentioned here? Will the Vagabond power my Photoflex 650w/s head? I need to know, please help someone, anyone?I want to be able to shoot on location and outpower the sun for effect. Help please, anyonoe???
I never questioned your affiliation with Elinchrom, but some objectivity either in titling the video, or an attempt at being less blatant in glorifying Elinchrom at the expense of all competition (Profoto and so forth) would make for a considerably better watch.
"they're also all fan-cooled". The Dlite 4s that I have aren't fan cooled. They overheat pretty quickly - especially with snoot attached. It's frustrating that you can only use battery packs with the most expensive heads too.
I'm sorry you don't like the videos. This is the first time we've ever done something like this and we'd really value viewers opinions, good and bad. Please feel free to be more specific about what you don't like, I can then present that to Chris and the editor so they can make better videos in the future.
Regarding your D-Lites, they must be from the first generation, All new D-Lites are now fan cooled. You can minimize overheating, especially with a snoot, by turning off he modeling light...

@gezzy321 you certainly can use a PW with them, however, you won't get the power control feature that you get with the included skyport.
You can run them from a battery pack, we recommend the Innovatronix Explorer XT SE.

...So far as battery packs are concerned, at TFC we do a unit called Flash Feeder which will happily power D-Lite heads.
Could you let us know where you heard about only expensive units working on batteries?
many thanks and kind regards

The new Dlites are all fan cooled. They also work with battery packs like the Vagabond II, or the Innovatrix explorer XT.
