If you are in ISrael, istherea Profoto distributor there? I much prefer the Acute2 to the older Acute or Acute AlFA systems. Better controls and better built.

Karine Modèle Français Fou.

I tell her all the time in italian “E’ Matto!” Your crazy.. cause she really is… And if you know I call her that she must be! Great person. Anyways someone asked me to show them what a ringlight looks like outside. It was shot with the Alien Bee Ring flash but half way through the shoot I switched back to my Profoto head.. Honestly the Alien Bee is a hunk of plastic poorly designed junk.. The ring is to small in size and you cant even focus the lens while its in the hole. The camera mount is junk and a pain. The reflector falls off constantly. I mean this thing is really really poorly designed and made. I got rid of it. I may be tied down to a power pack and having to use a power outlet for the Profoto but atleast I can see and focus and the camera stays put on the mount! I just make sure if I am working in a dark area to have some LED flash lights to use to see and focus.. I mean honestly for 300 bucks more for the profoto its so so much better than the Alien Bee plastic garbage. Also big tip guys you can have the Profoto Custom wired to your packs if you need to thus getting rid of the problem of having to have a profoto pack to run the head. You can have the Ringflash profoto head wired at a good Calument shop in a major city to run on your “Balcar” or “Novatron” “Norman” “Elinchrome” “Bronacolor” “Dynalight” packs. Saving you some bucks. YOu can do the same thing with those old “Tri Lights” That Norman used to make too…

Model Portfolios New York Photographer John Ricard presents a Photography Tutorial showing differences between a Rayflash and a Ringflash

people’s opinion of this review :

The Canon 580 flash is set to 1/1 and depending on the distance you will have to adjust the f stop between 4.5 – 11 all depends on the effect as far as flash recycle time you will need to have a battery pack for the flash ($149.00) to reduce the recycle time by 5 seconds with flash on 1/1.

Can someone tell me what is the difference with the ray flash in comparison to the coco flash. The coco flash I saw on Amazon looks identical to the Ray flash the difference is the price $59.00 compared to the ray Flash of 199.00. I like to know if anyone knows the difference.

I have more trouble getting the ray flash to work for me indoors than I do outside. I get beautiful pictures outdoor. I believe the settings are good based on what I played with so far just not there yet but working on it. Do you have any suggestios?
