Elinchrom ELB 400 Dual Pro To Go Kit, Includes 2x Quadra Pro Head, Quadra Grid Reflector, 13.5cm Quadra Reflector, EL-Skyport Transmitter Plus

This set includes the new Transmitter Plus which offers simplicity, durability and reliability with the range now extended up to 200 m (656'). Choose the Quadra Action head set when flash duration is crucial and you want to freeze your subject's motion within the limits of the camera flash sync (X-sync) speed. The new ProTec Location bag safely carries the ELB 400 and accessories and it can be can customized and reconfigured to fit the equipment.

The ELB 400 is the most complete and portable flash system. Specifically designed for photographers who like to travel light but packing enough power to overpower the sun. The best flash duration is at full power where you need it when you are out on a sunny location. The built-in EL-Skyport system enables seamless synchronization between your camera and the ELB 400. The OLED display features a rich and quick access to all features.

Pro Head
The Pro flash head offers a slower flash duration compared to the Action head but it is faster compared to the HS head. At full power on an ELB 400, the Pro head offers at t0.5 a flash duration of 1/1200th second. For Still-Life and portraits or where the subject is not moving, this is a fast enough flash duration for sharp images. But if the subject is moving then this flash duration will not be fast enough to stop the motion of the subject at normal flash sync shutter speeds, i.e. at 1/250th second or below. The Pro head can be used in Hi-Sync mode with the latest EL-Skyport Plus HS transmitter, but there will be quite a bit more gradation in the image compared to the HS head, discussed below.

Large sensors, with mechanical parts for the shutter and the mirror, as well as the camera firmware and the chosen shutter speed will affect the results. Mirrorless cameras can handle Hi-Sync very well. If you don't shoot action and only want to buy one flash head that can work with Hi-Sync to some degree and also create nice sharp portraits, then the Pro head is a good option.

If you want to shoot mainly at higher shutter speeds, up to1/8000s, then you will want to get the EL-Skyport Plus HS transmitter along with the ELB 400 and the HS flash head. But, if you are investing in this system, they would suggest getting the Quadra HS, excellent for Hi-Sync and the Action head for fast flash duration. This will offer the best of both worlds, depending on the situation.
