Description

The Elinchrom ELC Pro HD 500/500 To Go Set is a powerful core kit for photographers working in the studio or on the road. The kit includes two500W/s flash heads with built-in EL Skyport SPEED radio receivers, an EL Skyport SPEED transmitter, a ProTec Poly Bag for the lights and 2umbrella reflectors.

Elinchrom has packed the ELC Pro HD 500 with professional features we've come to expect from a flash head of this calibre and added quite a bit more. Power is continuously variable from 7 to 500W/s while the 300W proportional modelling lamp allows you to preview your settings before exposure. The ELC Pro HD 500 recycles to full power in just 0.7 sec. with flash durations as short as an action-freezing 1/5,000 sec. at lower settings. In fact, up to 20 frames per second is possible at minimum power. An intelligent low noise, the temperature-activated fan keeps the head cool and a pre-flash detector lets you integrate your on-camera flash into your studio system.

Since the heads have built-in 8 channel EL Skyport SPEED receivers, you can trigger them wirelessly at distances up to 393'. The transmitter trigger modes allow you to address special situations. The Sequential Mode, for instance, enables triggering up to 20 ELCs in bursts or in a continuous cycle. Delayed Mode offers a choice of first or second curtain syncing while Strobo Mode allows single frame stroboscopic action sequences

Elinchrom ELC Pro HD 500 Flash Head

The ELC Pro HD 500 Flash Head from Elinchrom is evidence of the company's continued commitment to pushing the envelope in monolight design. Elinchrom has packed the ELC Pro HD 500 with professional features we've come to expect from a flash head of this calibre and added quite a bit more. Short recycling times coupled with fast flash durations make freeze-motion, stop-action shooting possible. In fact, up to 20 frames per second is possible at minimum power. An intelligent low noise, the temperature-activated fan keeps the head cool and lengthens the life of both the flash tube and modelling lamp. A pre-flash detector lets you integrate your on-camera flash into your studio system.

Power, variable continuously from 7 to 500Ws, can be mimicked by the 300W proportional modelling lamp to preview your effects. AlthoughElinchrom provides one, you can swap the sync cord with a separately purchased 8-channel transceiver for wireless triggering from your camera. The head has one built-in to receive the signal. Flash modes allow you to address special situations. The Sequential Mode enables triggering up to20 ELCs in bursts or in a continuous cycle. Delayed Mode offers a choice of first or second curtain syncing while Strobo Mode allows single frame stroboscopic action sequences. Finally, the auto-sensing multi-voltage power supply means that you can use the ELC Pro HD 500 anywhere in the world.
