Rated 5 out of 5

Small, Light in weight and very powerful

Just got my new Porty Lithium from Adorama. I had the very old Porty 1200 B from the stone ages. This new unit is unbelievable! Small, Light in weight and very powerful. Much lighter than Broncolor, Profoto or Speedotron. I have only tested a few times so far but I am getting over 200 flashed at full power on one charged battery. It's not the cheapest unit out there but much less than the higher end competition.

Small, Light in weight and very powerful

By Nateman

Just got my new Porty Lithium from Adorama. I had the very old Porty 1200 B from the stone ages. This new unit is unbelievable! Small, Light in weight and very powerful. Much lighter than Broncolor, Profoto or Speedotron. I have only tested a few times so far but I am getting over 200 flashed at full power on one charged battery. It's not the cheapest unit out there but much less than the higher end competition.

The perfect battery powered generator for people, fashion and sports photography "on location"! With sufficient energy for fast flash sequences and enough power to master jobs in direct sunlight. Extra affordable package deal.

Porty L 1200
Freedom without limits. The original Porty by the inventor of professional battery powered flash generators. Excellent performance, handy operation, full remote control - the smallest and most lightweight professional battery flash generator in its class!. Perfect on location - but also a full-blown studio pack with its optional AC adapter.

• Max. 1200 Ws
• Battery operation with Li battery or true mains operation with optional AC power supply (Not included)
• Symmetrical and asymmetrical (50:25% or 50:12.5%) power distribution
• 7 f-stop power range in 1/10 f-stops
• Fastest flash recycling time 0.2 s and short flash durations down to 1/5,200 s
• Integrated radio sync & remote plus Freemask
• Just 5.9 kg incl. battery!

EH Mini P LED Speed Head
Compact flash head with short flash durations and powerful, long-lasting LED modeling light for Hensel Porty L battery-operated generators. Light output of the efficient LED is similar to a 300 W halogen lamp.

• Short flash duration down to 1/8,100s
• 40 W LED modeling light (6000 K)
• Sturdy metal housing with integrated tilt bracket, umbrella holder and handle
• Changeable lamp cable (round plug) in 5 m, 7 m and 10 m length - for easier transport and quick exchange
• Changeable protection glass
• Plug-in quartz glass flash tube
• Modeling light on the head can be switched separately (on/off/time Large selection of quickly changeable Hensel EH light formers)
• Easy and safe operation
• Small packing dimensions

Quick charger for Porty 6/12 Lithium
First class charger for Porty L/Power Max L Lithium battery. Microprocessor-controlled quick charger with advanced electronics. Multivoltage 90-240V/50-60Hz. 80% capacity after 45 minutes, full capacity reached in less than 2 hours!

7" Reflector
So called "standard reflector" with a wide light spread and even illumination. Small and handy, easy to transport. For all heads with EH mount.

Strobe Wizard Plus - Transmitter
Transmitter for radio sync & radio control of Integra Plus, Expert D, Speed Max, Nova D/DL, Tria 24SF and Porty L flashes. A must-have accessory! Radio sync & remote control in a small and lightweight unit.

Mounted on the accessory shoe and protected by a very solid plastic housing. The transmitter has a minimum battery life of 1 to 2 years. Sync times (depending on camera type): 1/250 s for focal plane shutters, 1/800s for leaf shutters. 3 different channels and "ALL" (master channel), to prevent interference's between different workgroups within the same studio.

Softbag VII "De Luxe"
Slightly smaller version of our Softbag VIII - but with similar assets. A deceptively spacious trolley with up to three internal compartments and completely new, significantly reinforced wheels. The bag holds flash units, lots of accessories and up to 3 stands (e.g. our item no. 200). The bag's lid incorporates a mesh pocket for smaller accessories. And the best thing: A handle and stable wheels at the bottom of the bag take the fear out of fully packed bags and long walks!

Flash Head cable 5 m angulated for EH Mini to Porty / Nova D
5 m lamp cable for generators with round sockets, also usable as an extension cable.
