We have asked some photographers to compile some of their impressions of Elinchrom ONE after they have now been working with the flash for a while.
The light! Elinchrom has a design on all its flashes called "Bare bulb flash", which in short means that the flash tube is placed raised in front of the flash. This means that the light is spread white and evenly. When you then use e.g. a Deep Umbrella or softboxes you get a fantastically even and nice light. Despite its compact exterior dimensions, Elinchrom ONE has managed to retain the unique light that Elinchrom is known for!
The agility. I work a lot on site at the customer's, which means a lot of carrying equipment and lighting in rooms with varying sizes and shapes. A pair of ONE's easily fit in the camera bag and are quickly placed in their positions. The combination of built-in Skyport and Bluetooth makes the level adjustment of the various flashes quick and easy.
The wireless control! I often use many light sources, which means that I have several flashes to set. Elinchrom ONE has a fantastic function which means that the flash can not only be controlled via BT from a computer or iPhone. ONE also acts as a Skyport bridge for other flashes in the set-up so that each unit can be controlled remotely! Perfect because I do all the photography tethered and control everything from one computer.
The handling. There is a lot of unpacking and unpacking of photographic equipment when I go around my job. ONE takes up little space and the design is very practical to handle. Extra plus is the new panel with touch screen and an interface that is very intuitive. Tip! I often use larger softboxes and have supplemented ONE with Elinchrom OCF adapter. Makes the installation of softboxes even easier and more stable.
Small and quick. Periodically, we photograph a lot of interior pictures for realtors and ONE is ideal for this. It should go fast and there will be many photos in one day. Then I appreciate how quick and easy it is to set up ONE on a tripod and start photographing. It is bright, gives fantastic even, nice light and the battery is enough for a looooong working day. In addition, the ONE easily fits in the camera bag.
The light power. Do not know how Elinchrom succeeds but their flashes deliver a lot of light and ONE is no exception despite its small size. A tip for you who today are an Elinchrom photographer and are wondering if ONE will be enough. Set your Elinchrome flash to 4.3 and you will see how much light ONE delivers at max. For most portraits I photograph, I usually stay at 3.0-3.5, which means that I can use ONE for a large part of my jobs on-location.
All in one. When the equipment is to be packed quickly, I appreciate the super compact size with everything in one. In my photographs, it can be frugal with space to place lights and equipment. Then ONE works perfectly in that the flash can be mounted on a neat stand and quickly placed in even small spaces.
The design. ONE has a very robust and good design. Two things I really like. The flash can be controlled via touch screen, which makes settings quick and easy. Another feature of the ONE is that it is charged via USB-C connector. If you have forgotten the Elinchrom charger, it works great to charge and power the flash from the mobile charger or a power bank.
