Dan at Elemental sent me across some kit this week to check out and review for Digital photography School. I wasn’t aware of Elemental who actually started trading on January 29th 2005, selling Jessops Portaflash gear. They started making / importing their own branded products in January 2007, and started engineering and designing their own gear about 8 months ago…

Trinity 600W - Without the leather coat, guns and attitude

I always love a great first impression, and I have to say that for the money and even for a wad more money, this gear made me smile! I’m not sure if it was the decent build quality or the extra little ideas that are stuffed into each product – the ePod / tripod for example – has a level on the legs and the head and also has a tiny little compass for those of you into your location / gps / nature / direction photography. The light stands that come with the 600W twin set “Trinity” heads are really solid and extend all the way up to the roof – 9’2″ as well as being air cushioned and solid as a wombat, they’re well priced if you want to buy them separately.

Enough of my rambling, this is just the unboxing – the full review is still a couple of weeks off and will be available on Digital Photography School.

Oh, yeah, as for value – try spec’ing up a set of gear of this calibre, with these accessories for this price!…
