Bad Flashpoint stand (tripod)

i received the shipment in two packages which cost me more for custom and shipper fees this is from one side , from the other side the flashpoint (stand) is ridiculous, useless and unreliable other than that the flash head is very good and a good upgrade from the rx400.

I own 6 of these units and I do love the light quality and functionality of the units

I own 6 of these units and I do love the light quality and functionality of the units. I've been an Elinchrom user for about 20 years. Not till I started buying the Pro 500s and D-Lite 400s did I start having issues with the stand adaptor base from breaking or cracking. The company has always been good on sending me out replacement pieces for me to swap out, but know they are telling me to buy a third party accessory to keep this from happening. I feel like the piece on the probe is under engineered and that they are pushing off the blame.

Simply the Best Strobes for the money

I shoot mostly in Hi Speed mode on Elinchrom I freeze motion with 1/200 shutter speed and its fantastic, also you could use 1/8000 shutter speed with HS mode with no problems, also I love all the new features, like Sequence, Delay and Strobo Modes motions and 20 frames per second.

In Love with the ELC Pro 500

Set up is super easy. Just plug and play. Very powerful strobe. It can go very low power. I was able to shoot @ 2.8 Recycle time is super fast. Checkout the stroboscopic options. Highly recommend.

Well these are just STELLAR!!!

Very easy to use imediately. Top quality, nice form factor. Skyport is straitforward. I almost got the 1000's however I can't imagine using that power ever. 525Ws is more than enough. I actually really like the EL mount.
