peter_j2 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 <p>Have you tried this third party light modifier? Does it replicate the results of the Profoto HardBox #505720? Any fit and finish issues? I understand the Profoto version fits on all of their monolights and flash heads unlike the Light Ignition?</p> <p>Here is an eBay link to the Light Ignition HardBox for Profoto:</p> <p>http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Light-Ignition-HardBox-for-Profoto-monolights-and-flash-heads-/171596091070?hash=item27f3ec8ebe:g:86wAAOSwqu9U1Gdu</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelmowery Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 <p>One can recreate the hardbox with black tin foil. All you are paying here or Profoto is a nice looking metal housing that looks professional. A Black box is a black box. It is all physics</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_j2 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 <p>Must be a non-seller. I have not seen any used Profoto HardBoxes on eBay.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_landis Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 <p>Anyone tried any of Light Ignitions other products? $500 for a knockoff hard box is pretty steep. I am interested in hard box and the telezoom.<br /><br /><br> Just out of curiosity: what do you think is the actual cost(minus research etc) to manufacture some of the light shapers including magnum, telezoom and beauty dish.</p> <p>http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xlight+ignition+profoto.TRS0&_nkw=light+ignition+profoto&_sacat=0</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_j2 Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 <p>Dan: My guess is whatever the eBay price is minus 70% markup.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
