Сheck this Review Before Buying a Strobe: 3 Monolights Comparison. What Is The Difference?
When I got to our studio these 3 monolights, I kept thinking how to test them against each others. All of them are the same power, 500Ws, and while Elinchrom and Photogenic cost around $600 each, Profoto D1 Air is twice more expensive, $1200. Each light has very similar controls and features. So, what exactly to test? We did not get any light modifiers with them, and without light modifiers, there is not much to test: all flash units are well built, have easy to use controls and same power output. What was interesting though is to see how these lights will perform in stopping the action, such as a liquid splash. Claimed flash durations were between 1/1300 sec t.5 (Photogenic) and 1/2600 sec t.5 (Profoto), and experienced photographers could easily tell from these numbers that it won’t be good for stopping a hi-speed splash action. However, will it be a noticeable difference between 1/1300 sec. 5 and 1/2600 sect.5? I wanted to test for myself. Plus, it is such a fun to make splashes – why not to make the studio wet one last time (we are moving out).
