Elinchrom lights the way

Get flashy with the Elinchrom D-Lite RX 4/4 To Go

For plentiful power with easy control and superb quality, the Elinchrom D-Lite RX 4/4 To Go Set twin-head kit wins out. It’s also great value. The only limiting factor is its reliance on mains power.

For battery-powered flash, Elinchrom wins out again with its ELB 500 TTL To Go Set. The Profoto B10 Plus is eminently portable and works brilliantly, but it’s comparatively pricey, especially once you add in Profoto’s optional RF trigger and Off Camera Flash accessories. As a budget buy, the twin-head Interfit Honey Badger Unleashed kit delivers impressive performance at a very affordable price.

For lower-power, constant lighting, the Neewer 660S and GVM 800D LED panels are both outstanding value. The Neewer is comparatively powerful, whereas the GVM has a much lower maximum output but adds a whole range of effects. The Rotolight AEOS is a pro-spec LED panel with build quality to match, but is relatively poor value.
