Lightstand/Umbrella kits – Elinchrom vs Photogenic


Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home2/paramedi/public_html/dennisboyd.info/wp-content/themes/prophoto3/functions/images.php on line 167

A few months ago I was looking for a Lightstand/Umbrella kit to go with my 580′s. I ended up chosing the Elinchrom Umbrella & Stand “Set to Go” 2xStands, 2xUmbrellas, Bag kit from Vistek.ca.  Price wise as well as shipping time, lack of duty and import taxes… well… for $149.95 CAN… best all in one...

admin - Heh Harvinder… thanks so much for posting… never really sure if it makes sense to anyone :)

I honestly did love the kit… until I got to use Joels’ Photogenic setup… now I’m cursing myself for buying the Elinchrom setup. Not that it’s bad… but you basically just write off the umbrellas and have to add those to the purchase price.

Thanks for the comments! :) March 1, 2009 – 3:46 pm

Harvinder - Hey man,
Came across your post when I was looking for the elinchrom “to go” kit. Good work… I went the 2 x 580exIIs route. I don’t like the fact that the umbrella kit only has 2 non-convertible umbrellas. I like the translucent.

Anyways, thanks for helping me make my decision. You’re site is awesome!
