[Shoulder strap] I thought about a mono light and I prefer a system that is not top heavy, if you put one of these lightweight heads on a boom or have someone hold it on a monopod, it does not weigh much... The battery also helps weigh down the stand and modifier so it won't tip over. I did have to order an additional adapter for my octoboxes. There is somewhat of a learning curve using the system with a Fuji Pro Transmitter, all readouts are easy to read and see. I only did one shoot with the ELB 500 and I'm loving it so far!

[Ballistic nylon] I have been waiting for the Sony TTL & HSS firmwares update for months !!!
After upgrading my EL-Skyport , i jump and bought the LLB 500 Dual.
I did not use it in dual mode yet , most of my testing and work was done in mono light ..
Wow , the TTL and HSS works seamlessly and get some pretty good result in normal lighting situation . When strong back light is present , I had to do some fine tuning.
The TTL set you right , almost all times. Then I switched to manual.
I did a family portrait outdoor session . It save me a lot of time . My light meter staid in my pocket.
Did about 250 shots , the battery was still very strong at the end.
The system is light , flash head is very light .. Recycle time is great ..
This is a great addition to my Elinchrom quadra

[1 lb] I've been using five Phottix Mitros + with my Nikon DSLRs to light my weddings. In mid-day sun, I would group three of them together in a Wescott Softbox to get enough light to overpower the sun, but I wanted something lighter and easier to manage. I rented the Profoto B1s and found them really heavy and worried about a guest knocking one over during the reception (plus, the price was a bit out of budget and left my Phottix system obsolete). After lots of research, I bought the dual To-Go system with the Phottix Odin II, and it is absolutely perfect. I also got the Quadra adapter and then the Wescott Rapid softbox with the Elinchrom head. So far I've only used one head as my key light and then the flashes for fill/back/hair lights. I think I might keep it this way most of the time, so I always have a backup ready in case something happens to the cable or bulb.

[Shoulder strap] Bought a 2 head set for a recent outdoor shoot, tons of power, lightweight and 100% firing as set love it

[1 lb] I have been an Elinchrom user for many years and I was all set to to jump ship to Profoto until I saw this.

My BRX 500s just did a job where they were on for 8-10 hours a day for 8 days. Great quality.

I hope these are as reliable. I have ordered mine.

[Shoulder strap] I have been considering a number of options for battery powered TTL location strobes, but was nervous about having a heavier moonlight up in the air. If you dont know, its fairly windy in the Texas Panhandle! I had the opportunity to use another photographers ELB 500 kit while at Shutterfest and loved it. Everything that is up in the air is very light making it stable on a stand, or super easy for an assistant to handhold on a boom. The pack and battery unit are reasonably light too and easy to shoulder or hang on a stand. With Skyport exposures are accurate and easy to control. The light color is superb, and with an adapter full-size Elinchrom modifiers can be used. I have a 12x55 strip on a head right now and love it. I was weighing this against the Profoto B2s, but more power at a better price...Im happy.
