This question is for Broncolor veterans in our forums.
I'm a dedicated Elinchrom user and love their older range of equipment, extremely well-built, all-metal with some really unique pieces (boxlite, R3000, square reflector, S35 fresnel ..).
I can't help but notice the similarity between older Elinchrom and older Broncolor stuff, for example the Boxlite, the Elinchrom S35 and Broncolor Flooter, the HMIs .. It seems like they are made by the same third party company. Considering they are both Swiss, this doesn't seem unlikely
Recently I got my hand on some older Broncolor packs. and to my surprise the connector pin on the cable are the same. It took me abit of courage but I managed to fire the Elinchrom Boxlite and R3000 with it.
So I would like to ask if anyone knows a bit more about the compatibility between the two companies? Do the more modern Broncolor packs (Grafit, Scoro ..) work with Elinchrom heads as well? Is there any danger for me to do so?
I have always envied the colour consistency of Broncolor, however I've been with Elinchrom for a long time, a complete change seems daunting. However if I can add a few Bron packs so that I can use most of my Elinchrom heads, I'd be very very happy.
Many thanks.
