There’s a lot more to a good flash head than its performance and price - the
other things that really matters are build quality and structural strength, because
flash heads need to be able to withstand knocks and to be capable of being
packed away and transported without damage.
The bodies of these flash heads are made from ABS, which provides far better
protection than the cast metal bodies used by some other manufacturers, they
also have powerful shock resistant cooling fans!
The 600 Ws mono flash head produces at least as much light during its very
short flash exposure as 600 watts of continuous lighting would produce during a
1 second exposure.
Fitted with the standard reflector (not included) it produces a guide number of
220 (equivalent to f/22 @ 10’ at 100 ISO) which is ideal for portrait, glamour,
fashion, event and many types of product photography.
Because of its high power, this flash head is especially suitable for group
photography, commercial photography and for when specialist light
shaping tools such as spotlights and honeycomb grids are used. But good
studio lights produce far more than just power. The power needs to be capable
of fine control, and the flash head needs to accept a wide range of light shaping
tools and modifiers, as well as to produce clean, consistent light quality at all
power settings.
Another, very important factor is flash duration, because fast flash duration not
only freezes movement but also produces very consistent colour temperature.
The flash duration of the ElitePro 600 is a very impressive 1/1000th second
(t-05), far faster than many similar product on the market!
