Thanks for the nice review. Does it work with the new Speed mode of the Skyport?

Thanks for the review.
I’m going to soon buy one to cover my weddings in French riviera because I need a very portative solution and the 400w would be enough. The only thing I dislike is the overpriced adaptater for softbox.

I just bought the Elinchrom ranger quadra but I cannot figure out the symbols and numbers in the menu and sub Menus. The manual displays the symbols for photocell and a few other functions but does not decode many others, like “U” 1,2 or 3. Or “PL” 0 or 1, or “PC” 0 or 1, or “d” 0-7, or another 1 that looks like an “E” but isn’t quite. What the heck do these mean?? The manual does not help at all with this. Is there anyone out there that can point me in the right direction?
Any help would be appreciated!

Great review, I really appreciate it. Does one need to trigger the Ranger RX with Skyport triggers or can PocketWizards be used? What is the simplest most reliable way?

Did you get to try Hensel Porter? I actually bought Quadra soon after my previous comment… and I love it… except the price for every little adaptors and modifiers is ridiculous, at least in the USA…

sofia: The problem is not the lights. It’s your camera. That canon does not have a specific sync port for pro lighting. You have 2 options. byuy the elinchrom or dimilar wireless trigger system (recomended) or by an atachment for the flas shoe to accept a sync cable

Hello!

I just bought an Elinchrom Ranger Quadra and I am all happy, problem is that there is NOWHERE written HOW you use it. I mean, how do I make it work with my Canon 450D????
I’ve been doing photography for years, but only used scanlite. Simple and straight.
Now that I finally have this set I am blank.
Takes the edge off the enthusiasm…
I read the manuals, but it doesn’t say anything there about how to connect them.
I’ve googled 100’s of pages to find SOME place where some kind soul spells it out, but I can’t find any. PLEASE help by posting something, or answering on my e-mail. I would appreciate it SOOOOOO much! Tonight I am going to experiment at home again, but in case I don’t make it…
I can offer you a link from my website in return!

Kind Regards, Sofia

This was really useful for me – Have been looking at the rangers needing some extra information

Thanks
