Studio Basics - Part1: Elinchrom for Starters

[@the_learner12]

one of the best explanations of this topic by a world class photographer, Mark Cleghorn.

Great video! Certainly need more demonstration videos to allow potential buyers to know that there are options to the other popular brands!

[@enriquemdz20]

I appreciated your explanation, you talk about lots of different things but I can't follow any because isn't clear or enough info. Thank you

[@henrikzetterstrom278]

This video was the best I have seen about this subject and how to use this product. Very well done.

[@johnjacob3976]

Are you related to Steve-o?

[@gladysperrier4270]

I think the content of this video is great but what a shame you race through this valuable information. If this is meant to be the basics for beginners it would be so much better if taken slower. I will have to re play many times to catch the important points about set up.

[@mxd4511]

It is recommend that Elinchrom post longer duration videos in English that promote the use of your lighting equipment!

I am looking at buy-in the rx 4's. I mainly do headshots in a well lite room. I have a full frame Panasonic s5. Are these too much power to shoot at f4 - am I better off getting the d lite 2 or 1's? Thanks in advance!

[@elinchromLTD]

Hello, thanks a lot for reaching out. If you're only shooting at F4, I would recommend getting D-Lite RX ONE's

[@TheBusinessVisuals]

Hi - actually in hindsight it will be more like f8? So the rx 4's then? (and maybe some outside stuff....@@elinchromLTD

[@elinchromLTD]

Hello, thank you for your message. In that case, I'd advise you to buy a D-Lite RX4.

[@yaoyuanliu9144]

could this softbox work with grid?

[@elinchromLTD]

Hi Yaoyuan, sorry for the late answer. The softboxes included in the D-LITE RX4 kit are Portalite, and this range of softboxes does not have Grids. Only the Rotalux range have Rotagrids as an included accessory. For information regarding the Rotalux range, please visit our website: www.elinchrom.com/ranges/rotalux-softbox/.

[@josephchan4198]

Great instructor. Awesome

[@filmic1]

I'd like to add a Elinchrom Digital Style 600Rx as a key light to a 2 head DLite4RX kit with the skyport that comes with the 4RX kit. Can you advise on any special compatibility issues I should be concerned about, or advise on whether or not this is wise? Thanks.

[@elinchromLTD]

No compatibility issues so far.

[@jwielinga]

LOOK IN THE CAMERA!!!!

[@mgreen51]

I've been trying to update the firmware on my D-Lite RX One and I keep getting an error that read FAULT until firmware update! Press Cancel!

Michael, please contact your Elinchrom service center for support: www.elinchrom.com/distrib.php

[@jennygw1883]

Why don't these lights give out a consistent colour at all power levels and from all models in the same range?

[@elinchromLTD]

Your studio lights are probably a mix of old and new units at different power levels with silver and white reflectors or soft boxes of different brands and fabrics. In general, at full power it tends to be cooler, due to the voltage regulation of the capacitor for different flash power outputs.

[@MSmatt76]

Good stuff

[@rodolfogarcia4883]

which one can I use outdoor?

[@elinchromLTD]

For outdoor we recommend using the portable battery packs, the ELB range: www.elinchrom.com/battery.html
