Finally received my Bron Move kit yesterday from the Pro Centre. All looks good from initial tests but with first paid shoot for it next week we will see how it performs in anger. Let's hope it does the job as it's going to take quite a number of months to pay for itself LOL.

Here here! Merry Christmas

Yes B4 is the same.... although I think there are also times when under exposed is better than no flash at all and no shot, depending on the nature of the shoot. Ideally I'd like a toggle setting to make that choice.

Well, interestingly it wasn't the Bron walkover I was expecting! On paper you would imagine that the Bron would have the edge on output at 3fps being quoted as 0.9s full power recycle (same as the Profoto)in speed mode with optimal duration rather than min duration, being a 1200 pack rather...

Yes for my immediate needs I can get away without the Para but after Christmas it's one to save for. I'm already looking at a couple of grand more than I'd like LOL, no change there then :runaway:

Yes the Move kit 1 has a free second MobiLED head promotion at Pro Centre until tomorrow..... looks like I'll be paying them a visit in the morning then ;-)

I'm going to have to visit the Pro Centre aren't I LOL, thanks for your recommendations

I remember watching a YouTube review by Karl Taylor that was very pro Bron.... And had a Para88 make an appearance.... Very much a contender at the moment, from the entire range of Profoto the B4 is the only one in the running. How is the MobiLED head for hot and humid conditions? It doesn't...

Don't worry I wont, I remember when the Bron came out... it looked very interesting then. I haven't got my hands on one yet but def will thanks.... the heads are lighter too which is a plus for me as I use an 8ft boom on the A head which with the Pro head Plus requires a lot of counterweight LOL.

Calumet have kindly lent me a full set of different systems incl B1, B2, B4 etc to play with over the w/e.... will see what each is capable of at least... although I can see me ending up with the B4 LOL.

Don't know, but I wouldn't have thought so.

Thanks, I'll look into it. With this being located on the edge of a swimming pool I do worry about mains voltage even inverter derived, however I'm not an electrician but I'm sure it's the high voltage that's bad. I'm happy to be corrected though

Most useful, thank you Mike. I'll do some tests with the Profoto B4 that I've got for the w/e as I've got a shoot to do some comparisons but my gut feeling is that I'd probably need at least 6 units to match the 2 Profoto heads in this instance which although a lot would still be very much...

Thanks Mike, I need only 3 shots (sometimes 4) at 3fps... would that get me over 1/8 power?

Any chance to try the Atoms at 3-4fps yet Garry?
