The Elinchrom ELC 125 is a 125W Studio Monolight with
impressive features. It boasts a combination of short recycling times of
0.8 to 0.1 seconds and flash durations as short as 1/7750 second that
enables freeze motion/stop-action shooting. Additionally, it also
features very high fps at minimum power and High Speed Sync which can be
used to regulate bright backgrounds with lightning-fast shutter speeds
of 1/8000 seconds. With Auto-On mode, this monolight is always on the
ready in standby mode with your previous settings saved, and the TTL
speeds up dialing in your next exposure. The ELC 125 is also fitted
with an intelligent temperature-activated fan that works in the
background with low noise to keep the head cool as well as lengthening
the life of the flash tube.
Offering a continuously variable power of 7 to 125Ws over 5 stops to
suit a range of lighting applications, the ELC 125 utilises a 20W (120W
incandescent equivalent) proportional LED modelling lamp for you to
preview your effects. The built-in 20-channel receiver not only permits
wireless adjustments, at distances up 200m, to the monolight, including
power and the modelling light. Via a separately available EL Skyport
transmitter, the ELC 125 allows TTL control of the light by seven
compatible, major camera brands. Of course, the more traditional method
of triggering with a sync cord is still available.
Adding to ELC 125's versatility, even non-Elinchrom units and
speedlights can be integrated into the wireless setup via the Elimchrom
Skyport Receiver Plus. An expansive range of Elinchrom's light modifiers
can be be used with the flash head. Here, a 16cm 90° Wide Angle
Umbrella Reflector is supplied with the monolight.
