Lencarta 3 head setup

[captainjack]

I took my new 3 head setup ( 2 x 600 1 x 300) to college last week
to use when I booked the studio.
I started at about 10.30 am after the model got changed, had a drink
stopped again about 1.30 for another drink and a bite to eat and then carried on to 4pm.

I have got to say they never missed beat, worked all day fine, I switched them off when having a drink, but I could hear that fan keeping them cool.
The only thing I feel I missed was having more spill kills for brollys or gels
ordering the the beauty dish 70cm and 120 Octabox, you lose the option
for the two reflectors, I borrowed one of the college Bowens spill kills and it fitted the head just fine.

Even the head of the Photography Department came and had a look at them and liked how easy they where to select any of the light options on the back of the ElitePro Flashhead.

I have got to say cracking bit of kit, have the sprung light stand and have not trouble supporting the heads at all, I even use my canon and Nissin battery flash to use as a hairlite and light up the bottom of a skirt when I was using low key on some small light stands and they fired fine with the ElitePRo heads.

If you have any worries about ordering these then don't they are a cracking bit of kit, One day I will be able to use them to there full potential, when I learn how to take a good Photo.....

Hi Tim,

nice bit of kit ..................... I'm very envious, as I'm sure others are also. Thanks for sharing the photo. It all looks very professional. I will be having a close look at the equipment at the Focus on Imaging at the NEC from 6th March.

You can run them all day every day without worrying about overheating. They're tested with 72 hours continous use, firing every 5 seconds.

When using the kit builder yes, but you can add other items to the order too.

It will have, The Lencarta flash heads have the latest S-fit and fit all Bowens accessories, including the ones with the latest change to the mount.
