The Elinchrom ELB 1200 Hi-Sync Flash Head is flash head redesigned for use with the ELB 1200 battery-powered pack. Choose Hi-Sync heads to use specifically Hi-Sync with the EL-Skyport Plus HS transmitter. Hi-Sync allows you to trigger your DSLR camera up to 1/8000s shutter speed. It is ideal for sports photography. Hi-Sync also offers more options than any other flash technology, since photographers have more light output at their disposal and no gradation (with the dedicated HS flash head). For battery-powered units, Hi-Sync uses much less power than other technologies, because the flash head is firing normally instead of a continuous burst like HSS. The flash head is enclosed in aluminum case and features a 50 W LED modeling light with a tungsten equivalent of 250 W. The LED light saves power considerably and is daylight balanced with a high CRI of 92 making it suitable for video if desired. It gives 80 minutes of run time with ELB 1200 battery pack. A VFC (Visual Flash Control) shuts down the light after exposure and turns it back on when the pack has recycled.
