SPEEDOTRON 105 - WOW !!!

[mitchfalk]

I just got a second 4803 pack and hooked up both to a 105 4 cable head (9600

watts)just to see what it would do - WOW, I had to check to see if my bookcase

caught fire !!!

 

I will be using it to light a skating rink. Do you think this is too much or (I

can't imagine) not enough ?

[martial_baribault1]

Well I would say that one head is the problem, sure to have unveven lighting.

[brooks short]

Yeah, that's a big pop! 2-4800ws heads would be better than 1-9600ws head. Put an 11" or better yet a 16" reflector on that head and see if there's a light colored ceiling for a ceiling bounce. You should be able to get f-8 to f-11 at 100 ISO if the ceiling is really high.

 

BTW, don't even think about looking at the flash tubes when you fire it at full power. #8^)

[larry_hunt]

yeah, don't look into the flash when it's firing, unless you like stumbling around for a few

minutes while you get your sight back. Make sure that when you use it in the rink that you

have a radio slave attached or everybody with a point and shoot will get the benefit of your

strobe.

i had one and did the same thing. put the light behind you like at 8 ft and pop it, you can just

feel the heat!!

Let's hope you don't blind the skater!
