    It’s no coincidence that Elinchrom has come through with what many are calling the “premier adventure light!”

    A revolution in portability and weather resistance, the Elinchrom ELB 1200 power pack makes an ideal partner for every photographer.

    Light in weight yet heavy-duty in performance, the ELB 1200 is built to deliver: faster recycling with more flashes per battery, a larger power range with shorter flash durations, and better control of colour.

    Its robust practical design with large OLED display makes the control of its many functions simple and intuitive.

    The integrated wireless Skyport system provides seamless sync between lighting and camera.

    In addition, the Elinchrom ELB 1200 is available with three new ELB 1200 heads – Pro, Hi-Sync, and Action. Each head features a robust lightweight aluminum housing and tilt head, the option to use 7 mm and 8 mm umbrellas, and a powerful 92 CRI LED for both still and video use with full-sized Elinchrom accessories.
