Are elinchrom good?

Elinchrom has always been known for its superb light modifiers. But the strobes designed by the Swiss flash manufacturer are just as good. While the ELC Pro HD I reviewed a few years ago here on Fstoppers is still a fantastic and very capable compact flash unit, Elinchrom’s mid-range needed a refresh.

Which is better elinchrom or Godox?

The Elinchrom gear is great and will last a long time. Godox is Chinese and has built up a good reputation for some of their gear, but not all of it. I would think of Godox as the less expensive but more likely to have problems and need to be replaced sooner.
