Good power (750w) for the money. Variable power modeling light really helps. Lot''s of available accessories.

None that I can tell. Just the typical weakness associated with monolights (vs. powerpack system) - weight. I wouldn''t attach these to a boom, just sturdy stands that can take the weight. Accessories can be expensive.

I bought two Calumet Travelite 750''s which are a great value for the a little money. Ideal if you''re starting out with studio photography and don''t want to spend an arm and a leg with studio lights.

Haven''t needed to use it. But since I''m near a Calumet outlet, it should be good.

The Travelite is a powerful yet inexspensive light with lots of capability. Power is continually variable from full to 1/32nd power via a control knob on the side. This makes the controls easier to reach in certain situations. An incredibly sensitive slave is built into the unit which seems to work better than slaves on other lights that I have used. The slave can be turned on or off. The modeling light is powerfull and can also be turned on or off. When on, the modeling light will go out momentarilly after the unit fires untill it has recycled again. Recycling is only about 3 seconds at full power. The modeling light is continously variable also.
The reflector is detachable and the unit can be used bare bulb. The reflector also has a built in umbrella holder. Sinc is achieved through a phono type plug. Calumet has a whole line of attatchments, softboxes, etc. to choose from that will look beautifull on this unit. Highly recommended!

Unit seems to be a little heavy though not unusuall for this type of unit. Control knobs have somewhat of a cheap feel to them but does not effect performance.

Lots of power and capability for the price. I would highly recommend this unit for those who want a serious light at a great price.
