Impact EX-100A Reviews

Great Value!

You can't beat the value this light kit offers! I needed to take some headshot pictures for our office. Didn't want to spend a ton of money and this kit did the trick. Very easy to set up and does exactly what I need. The only feedback I have is that the picture is a bit misleading. I thought the reflector arm attached to the stand while the light was also also attached (making a T shape). I didn't realize that you had to choose between the light or the reflector. You will still need another stand to use the arm for the reflector.

solid light for the price!

light works well and is pretty simple to use, id recommend getting a wireless transmitter bc the sync cord is kinda weird. also be aware of which kit you're getting, i was not aware that i wasnt getting a stand so i had to go buy one separately

Asked by: Naomi
This monolight uses an Elinchrom EL mount, so you can use the Impact 16" Beauty Dish Reflector, BH # IMBD16 which can accept an Elinchrom EL mount. https://bhpho.to/3o9lZoM

question

My flash tube broke. Is that covered in the one year warranty ?
Asked by: Scott E.
Unfortunately, the warranty for this monolight only covers defects in the unit as a whole. It does not cover lamps.

How do I connect this to my Sony A7III? The cord it came with is not compatible with my camera. So I got a 3.5m jack to 3.5m jack cable but it’s still not working.
Asked by: Lizzette
I looked online at the manual. Looks like there is no pc connection (not computer connection). You might need to buy a hot shoe adapter that has that. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/767442-REG/Vello_HSA_PSU_Universal_Hot_Shoe_Adapter.html

question

Will this strobe work with 3rd party modifiers, or only the supplied softboxes?
Asked by: Anonymous
That model strobe uses the Elinchrom mount also called EX. There are a few different manufactures that make modifiers with that mount, Elinchrom, Impact and Interfit. Note to be careful when picking it out that it is the correct mount. Impact and Interfit make different mounts not just EX.

question

Have I been using the shoe mount flash correctly? I've been trying to answer the folks who helped. Me and computers sometimes conflict. So here goes. I was using a Nissin Di622 to trip these. Regardless of the settings on the monolight the output was the same. Today we changed location from a classroom with 12' ceilings to the church hall with a 20' ceiling. Same results. I tried several settings on the Nissin, even manual output but the results were the same. Then I changed to Vivitar 285HV, 1/2 power to trip the monolights and all worked just as it should. The monolighgt oupt was able to vary using the dial on the back of the monolight. Results were perfect. I must have been doing something wrong with the Nissin and I will limit myself to using the 385HV for tripping the lights. Thanks to all who helped and replied. Very much appreciate the help.Loucian
Asked by: LUCIAN C.
The reason you were having the issue us that the Nissin flash has a pre-flash like all TTL flashes and that fools the monolights. The Vivitar flash you have is not TTL so does not have a pre-flash.
