Looking for outdoor lighting

[tylerorton]

Getting a set of Rangers is definitely on the list of gear I need to upgrade, no doubt about it. Especially for snowboarding and skating. When I've got the money flow to afford them, it will happen. As of now, the alienbees have been working great.

Is the lencarta light weather resistant? Didn't see that scanning over. Plus the Elinchrom has a faster flash duration. That's more important to outdoor sport photographer rather than weight and amount of shots on one charge, IMO. IIRC, Chase Jarvis shot with rangers while doing an REI ad campaign in Aspen where the weather was horrible. I wouldn't want to take a pack and head system out on location where there's a good chance it would get fried from water if it wasn't properly protected.

Not sure if they are water resistant but i have used one and they are good here's a link to the unofficial flickr group

but if i paid that much i wouldn't use mine in rain (any make of light)

Getting your strobe wet can be a shocking experience.

Especially if your shooting nudes in the nude
