Description

NOTE: This kit is not compatible with the Vagabond or Mini Lithium power packs. These lights must be used with a wall outlet only.

This Elinchrom BX-Ri 500/500 To Go Set - 2 Monolight Kit includes:

      - 2 - BX 500 Ri 500Ws monolights
      - 2 - 25.5" square softboxes
      - 2 - stands
      - 2 - 16' AC cords
      - a Skyport Universal Radio Transmitter to trigger and control your lights from your camera's hotshoe
      - a PC to 1/4" sync cord (for triggering without the hotshoe transmitter)
      - a light stand bag and a monolight soft case are also included

Building on the foundation of the RX the BX-Ri series is robotically manufactured, making possible extreme precision, light weight and the addition of computer chips for software implementation. Decoding the Ri designation, the R indicates remote operation capability, while the "i" stands for Eye-cell.

A Skyport EL receiver is now built-in, meaning not only remote, wireless triggering regardless of obstructions, at distances up to 394 feet, but also powering up and down or on and off with complete control of the modeling light. Eye-Cell is particularly handy when using the BX-Ri with the on-board optical slave to sync cameras with pre-flash or red-eye function. The photographer simply programs the number of pre-flashes specific to the camera or lets the BX-Ri do it automatically.

Flash duration is an extremely fast 1/1558 sec., capable of freezing action without blur. Of course, that would be academic if your strobe didn't recycle fast enough to keep up with the energy on the shoot. Elinchrom has that covered with recycling times of 1.45 sec. (115V) at maximum power.
