Comments about Elinchrom Ranger Quadra Head S Standard Set:
Until now I have used my canon speed lights for my commercial work. After researching for good creative lighting Photographers Zach and Jody Gray recommended this Elinchrom Quadra S head. I bought it and I was blown away by the quality of my images. They are stunning!!! I recommend it whole heartedly.

This product is very easy to use. a few great things to me is that this product is very light weight and also powerful. Great use for outdoors because it's not heavy at all. all your equipment can fit in one bag. when traveling on an airplane it can fit in the overhead compartment. i was able to use the set at least 3 hrs before recharging.

I use for portrait and video shoots! This system is great. The first time I used it I was amazed at the power it has. For the type of work that I do, I will never need any more than this can provide.The modeling light is powerful enough for quick interview video work.
One problem with Elinchrom, is that their umbrella shaft is not a standard size. So I used a different mounting system in order to use my Westcott umbrella softboxes. Another issue with them is that their menu setup is not intuitive. You need to carry with the instructional manual if you need to make any changes.
Also the battery is heavy compared to other brands, but they are releasing a new Li-Ion battery in June that should make a real difference. It should also provide us with longer shooting time.
Finally, I just wish the power settings could be adjusted with my Pocketwizard's Zone controller and not with their Skyport.
I would buy another in a heartbeat.

I use the Ranger Quadra on location for weddings and lifestyle shoots! It's awesome. The first time I used it I was ecstatic about the images I was producing.
The only downfall is the battery life. It's definitely not meant for long term use, however, It'd be awesome if it lasted just a little longer.
Other than that, no complaints!! Love it!!

If it weren't for the battery now giving me a faulty Er1 error on the LCD display everytime I turn it on and rendering it unusable (after owning it for 6 weeks) I would have given it 5 stars; I've only used it on 3-4 shoots! So, with a 2 yr. limited warranty, have to call B&H to see what my options for repair are....not something I want to do with a full schedule ahead!Flashhead housing is plastic so should take precaution in not breaking something, but small as a Canon Speedlite.I love the fact I can adjust the power from the hot shoe transmitter and the 39" Rotalux Deep OctaBox in conjunction provides the perfect wrap-a-round lighting for fast run and gun shooting.
