Lights and Modifiers for Any Occasion

Elinchrom Quadra HS        
This new head supports Elinchrom’s Hi-Sync technology, which lets photographers sync their cameras at high shutter speeds, up to 1/8000 of a second to overpower the sun or shoot action with wide open apertures. Unlike high speed sync, Hi-Sync doesn’t fire a rapid burst of flashes; it fires one powerful blast and chooses the optimal “slice” of light in sync with the camera for your exposure. As a result, the HS head will deliver slow flash durations (1/550 of a second) relative to Elinchrom’s other Quadra heads. The flash head can be paired with Elinchrom’s ELB 400 battery pack and requires the Skyport HS transmitter.
