leicaglow Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I get a little confused by the model numbers and I couldn't really see the equipment because the image is so small, but Broncolor has great support. I'd call or write them. I think their USA HQ is in Edison, NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_lawrence_miller Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Hi Carl, I've got a set of these, and have used them professionally for about 4 years.. they've been life-savers when I've needed them as extra lights. I'll answer anything you need to know about them. Firstly the most useful thing you could/ should know is that they take the same accessories as current visatec heads, so you'll have no problem getting new softboxes etc. The heads are 300w/s each, but actually MUCH more efficient than most heads. With my elinchrom system side by side the meter readings have been equivalent to about 750w/s on the elinca kit!!!!! they don't have any snazzy features, but are world-light compatible, so will work anywhere in the world - you'll need to change the modelling bulbs if you do. they recharge mega fast here in the UK (220V) maybe a bit slower with you in the US (110V) eeerrrr what else would you like to know? you can mail me at; contact (at) benlawrencephoto (dot) co (dot) uk with any further questions you might have... thanks, Benj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl_keeley Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 Awesome. I'll email you. The Visatec tip is great. Their acessories are way cheaper ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martial_baribault1 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Simple Basic reliable things, 3 stops (1/4,1/2,full) don't recycle as quick in North America but good enough, has on board slave triggering with infrared and standard light and are ancestors of Visatec and indeed use their accessory line. As usual with Bron NO standard accessories fits them not even an umbrella OH I was forgetting there is the the modeling light wich If I remember well, replacement is BRL.
