Day 08 :: Lucy Has No Explaining To Do

When Meg went to the Paul Mitchell School she acquired a number of hair heads. This is Lucy.

Lucy was photographed with the new Elinchrom Quadra light that I have rented for the weekend. I’m comparing the Quadra, the Ranger, and the Alien Bee 1600. I’m looking for a powerful yet compact strobe solution that will give more light than a hotshoe flash. I need something that has a better power to “OMG this thing is heavy” ratio. People who know me know that I’m a fan of all things Alien Bee but I seriously do not want to pack a few Vagabond battery packs in my checked luggage. They weigh 18 pounds each.

A Quadra pack and head weigh under five pounds and deliver only a stop less of light than the AB1600. The Elinchrom Ranger delivers just about 3/4 of a stop more than the AB1600. Hmmm.

Cheers,
Zack
