October 2013 Newsletter


   

 

Dear Photographer,

   This month is Photographic Gear’s 11th Birthday and to celebrate we would like to invite you to take advantage of our special Birthday Promotion, which comes gift wrapped with the opportunity for you to have exclusive access to a professional photographic studio. For more details, please see below.

We would like to invite you to our showroom to see the latest selection of new and pre-owned studio and flash equipment on display. We supply some of the more popular quality brands at favourable prices, and can also assist in sourcing those more difficult to find items, so please do not hesitate to contact us if what you are looking for does not reflect on the enclosed list.


NEW EQUIPMENT

Profoto introduces light-shaping for Speedlights


 

Speedlights are great for many reasons, but being able to create a soft and "shape-able" light, is not one of them. Profoto now offers a simple solution to this problem: a Speedring that makes the Profoto RFi softboxes compatible with Speedlights of any brand.

The Speedring sells for R1590 and if you don't already have Profoto soft boxes, we can supply these too. To view the Profoto RFi Speedring in action please click

Studio Lights

We believe we have the largest range of flash equipment in the country, from prestigious brands to good-value, proven-quality, lights. To whet your appetite, here are just a few of the options we have available:
  • A 2x 200w kit including stands, two umbrellas, a sync cable and a neat aluminium case. R3900 whist stocks last.
  • A 3x 200w kit including stands, two soft boxes, an umbrella, a sync cable and an aluminium case. Please phone for the latest price.
  • A 3x 300w kit, including stands, a soft box, an umbrella, one honeycomb with holder, a set of barn-doors, coloured filters, a radio trigger and including a sturdy case with wheels, all for R7800.
  • A 2x 300w fan-cooled kit, including stands, 2 standard reflectors, 2 umbrellas and an aluminium case, priced at R7500.
  • A compact, sleek-design Photoflex branded, 2x 300w (fan-cooled) kit including standard reflectors, stands, umbrellas and a carry case on casters (an ideal travel kit) is now available at only R11700.
  • An ultra-compact 400w battery pack with 2x heads, 2x batteries, charger, radio transmitter and a carry case is a very convenient option for location work.
  • A super well priced 300w battery pack including one head, charger and an aluminium case – R4285.
  • Profoto flash equipment. Please tell us what your flash needs are and allow us to submit a quotation for this classy and comprehensive flash system.
