Naw. Most people get it. Glad Im not being graded. Type to fast. LOL.
Let me clarify a Bit. AB's are fine. There just consumer grade, Hence the price. Some folks never have a problem. I've used them 4/5 times and everytime I had Miss fires and No fires due to weak sensors and it is a known problem with ambient Light and this unit. Actually it is common On a lot of strobes, Years ago it was much worse. Solution ? If you have this problem make sure you have PC cords around and also some tinfoil. Cut a little piece of foil about the size of a Postage stamp to make a mini reflector and tape it next to the sensor, shiny side closest to pick up Another flash. This seems to work pretty well.Some people who use products like this have Pocket Wizard recievers in every unit. But expensive. I just can't afford to have something Not work and it always happens at the wrong time. Also have spare Flash Tubes. They last a long time but, it's not about If, It's about when.
Theres a guy here in LA, His name is Silvino and he's the go to guy for probably every pro working anywhere that specializes in fixing strobes , Been at it 40 years. I needed some work done last year on my Hensels and I asked Him What , In his opinion after all this time is the best of the best, Easiest to repair,Dependability and cost of repair. He Said....
"Dynalight" Hands down.I asked what was the worst performing and cost of repair and dependability. He said "Elinchrome" keeps him in Business. |
