Elinchrom EL 20743 Style 300RX/600RX Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This kit comes with two skinny Bogen Manfrotto 8' light stands 052B that are appropriate for Speedlites, but undersized for the strobes. When fully extended they are a bit wobbly.
Of the two umbrellas one is a white shoot through and the other is a white reflector. They both measure an undersized 32 inches. You will want something larger.
The lights themselves are great. Very easy to use and highly adjustable. Since two long PC sync cords are included, the RX lights work without the Elinchrom EL 19362 Skyport RX trigger set, but you'll want to acquire radio trigger set eventually. It will make your life much easier. With the Skyport you can adjust the light output on the RX units without moving from your subject to readjust the light, test, readjust, test... And if the light is at the top of the 8' stand you'll need a ladder without the Skyport. Pocket Wizards are nice, but they won't adjust strobe output.
The lights come in their own case, which has room for a 3rd light should you add to your setup. The Bogen stands come with a soft case. Everything collapses down pretty small for transport and storage.
Overall you may be better off buying the lights separately and acquiring sturdier stands and larger umbrellas, or perhaps an umbrella and a softbox like the Elinchrom EL 26186 69-Inch Rotalux Octa.
