    This may have been available for a while, but it appears that the folks over at AlienBees \ White Lightning are now accepting pre-orders for the new Einstein mono blocks. I've had my eye on this flash unit for quite a while. Check it out here:

    Can't wait to see the reviews.

    I've had my eye on these for a while, there was a whole big drama getting these things to market, but after around a year of delays, they are finally here :)

    Of course we got to this point last June and then everything fell apart.

    This flash originally was going to be released as the AlienBees Max, but it fell through (see here: http://jerrycentral.com/2009/04/29/new-alien-bees-ab-max-on-the-horizon/ )

    They wound up pulling it at the last second because of QA concerns.

    See letter here: http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:HW3lBY9g7CgJ:www.facebook.com/topic.php%3Fuid%3D106160534079%26topic%3D9758+AB+Max+Letter&cd=5&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a

    The einstein is effectively the same product, except that it will still require a pure sine wave inverter to power remotely.
