Paul C. Buff, Inc. Technical Forum

Paul the AB and white lightning are known to be fairly resilient when dropped or tipped over. There are many testimonials to the robust build of your products, how will the einstein fare when the inevitable accident does occur. Have you done any destructive testing?

I don't make a habit of treating my gear roughly but things do get knocked over occasionally.

Will the AB cases fit the einstein?

There are more breakable parts in Einstein - LCD display, etc. Other than that the build is robust and there is more cooling, overheat and fault protection. No, we haven't done mechanical destruction testing, other than very heavy shooting tests.

Dropped my Gossen flashmeter 2' yesterday and it's in pieces now, held together with tape.
