Sorry, cannot seem to be able to delete my reply to you. I meant to write a comment.
Being a Godox user, count me out too :-)
Well, why not use that fancy Godox of yours and win the contest anyway ? :)
Did not look into the details but usually contests are for US only (Canada). But you have a good point. Cheers!
A. I'd never give away my copyright for the cost of a light.
B. I'd sell it and buy Godox anyway.
Dude enough with this your Paul C. Buff promotion that you post on every forum. Know one cares about Paul C. Buff anymore. Paul C. Buff is old technology thats DEAD while Godox is whats in now.
If those of us in Europe never bought it when it was the cheapest at the time, why would we want to buy it now when its the same prize as a godox but with tech thats EXTINCT?
If u say so dude 😂🤣
I totally understand that you keep promoting Paul C. Buff because its an American product and you want to be patriotic and support American made product (really cool atitude to have). But you also have to understand that the rest of the world doesn't have to be patriotic to an American brand that refuses to innovate like its competitors that sell for the same price and offers more.
When it comes to freezing liquid, the Einstein brilliant especially for the price, but only few photographers (compare to most photographers) focus mainly on just freezing liquid.
For outdoor photography the AlienBee B400 requires a power pack while the Ad200 doesn't and has more power, smaller and versatile.
None of Paul C. Buff are mono block (Mono block means battery built into light), they all require a power pack to work outdoor. All godox lights are mono block.
None of Paul C. Buff's light have in built receivers, ttl or hss, tfeatures which are very important many photographers today.
But lets be honest, you have heard all of these before but will still try convince everyone to buy Paul C. Buff just because you personally don't care about these features.
I really hope Paul C. Buff will step up their game and innovate just like its competitors. Am sure there are still many photographers that will prefer going with Paul C. Buff.
The B10 really looks good just like most of Profoto designs but thats not enough to make me spend £1400 on just one light without transmitter. For that amount i can either buy 5 ad200's or 2 Ad400's + 1 Ad200.
I personally think majority of the people buying profoto nowadays are those that have already invested in it already. I really can't see new photographers going for profoto now when Godox is there for them and at an affordable price.
About 10yrs ago when i was thinking about investing in lights for outdoor photography, the only 2 options for me were the Profoto and Paul C. Buff. The only reason i was leaning towards Profoto (despite the price) was because i couldn't deal with the whole shiping back and forth of Paul C. Buff if i puchase any item or need repair done (am based in the UK).
Fast forward 8 years later when i was ready to by a B1 and was checking for some reviews on youtube, i accidently stumbled onto some godox reviews, wow it was the easiest decision to make. Had to go for Godox and am really really happy i did.
