Elinchrom Ranger RX

Kit: 
2x S heads 1 100 JW
1x wide angle dish reflector
1x standard dish
2x batteries
1x sync cable
1x charger
1x case
Light stands
Light meter
IR trigger

Asymmetric means cannot have both flash heads at the same plug and that it works as a 2:1. Port A is the constant light and Port B acts at the fill light. Can't control the power source of each individual light so much use distance to control this.

These were rough images produced when learning how to use the Elinchrom Ranger kit. The quality and power of the lights are really good, which I was surprised with. The only con that I found a problem with the kit was that it was too heavy to carry on my own, along with all of the other kit it requires. However, I am excited to use this kit on locations as I think they are extremely useful when shooting in dark, grimy areas. The end result of images you get from using this kit, is very similar to when using the lighting kit in the studio which I was really surprised with.
Although it is a con that you can't control the individual lights, I personally like this as I think the two different A & B outputs is going to be really useful. Another downfall to this kit is that the wires are short so you are limited to where you can position them. Although, this isn't a strong image I like this image as I think the negative space works really well with the posture of my model. This was shot using a standard lens on F/22 at 1/125 of a second, ISO 200 to ensure maximum depth of field.
