- Very fast recycling time
- Extremely short flash duration
- Wide power range
- Outstanding stability and color accuracy
Super-Fast Recycling
The Elinchrom ELC Pro HD 1000 recycles in an impressive 1.2 seconds. At full power! At the lowest power, the recycling time is an unbelievable 0.054 seconds! The shooting pace can be fully adapted to the subject, without the risk of black frames or unevenly exposed image series.
Extremely Short Flash Duration
The shortest flash duration for the ELC Pro HD 1000 is an incredible 1/5260 sec at 80Ws output (Elinchrom scale 3.6). The combination of short flash duration and high output delivers razor-sharp images of subjects in fast motion.
Wide Power Range
The output can be adjusted from 7Ws to 1000Ws (Elinchrom scale 0.3 - 7.3). The difference between the highest and lowest power is 8 stops. The ELC Pro HD 1000 is suitable for everything from portraits with shallow depth of field to product images with sharp details even on large objects.
Outstanding Stability
The combination of fast recycling time, short flash duration, and wide power range places high demands on the flash's construction. The ELC Pro HD 1000 is built for long working sessions at high speed while maintaining stability in exposure and color temperature.
User-Friendly
The Elinchrom ELC Pro HD 1000 features a control panel that speaks plainly. The flash's performance and all functions are controlled via intuitive dials, while the display shows settings menus and set values. The simple handling encourages the use of the flash's advanced functions.
Modeling Light
The modeling light is a full 300W. Choose between proportional mode with flash power, free, max/min, or off. Additionally, the modeling light can indicate when the flash has charged to full power (VFC).
Multivoltage
The ELC Pro HD automatically adapts to the incoming voltage, 90-265V, and power. Most external battery units, as well as voltage converters, can be used.
Wireless Remote Control from Camera, Computer, and iOS Smartphone
The ELC Pro HD has a built-in Skyport, providing advanced remote control of the flashes. Using the Skyport Transmitter Speed, the flash can be triggered and adjusted from up to 300 meters away. Add the Elinchrom Bridge for wireless communication between the computer and flashes, as well as between iOS smartphones and flashes. With the Elinchrom Studio Software, you have full control over all flash functions from the computer, and you can also control the flashes via the Elinchrom App on iPhone and iPad.
Eyecell Slave Function
A very smart feature of the ELC is the intelligent slave function Eye-Cell, which can "read" the camera flash so that the ELC is triggered correctly.
Extra Features
The ELC Pro HD has features that offer unlimited possibilities for creative photographers.
- Delay – Adjustable flash delay for synchronization at any point during the exposure. A combination of multiple flash units offers many effects.
- Sequence – Link multiple flash units for rapid sequence shooting. Up to 20 flash units, at full power, can be connected. Since the flash units can be triggered in a continuous cycle, long image series can be captured.
- Strobo – Provides a stroboscopic effect in the same frame.
Save Personal Settings
4 personal flash settings can be saved. It’s quick and easy to switch between different shooting situations.
Quiet, Efficient Cooling
The built-in fan is microprocessor-controlled, which means the speed adjusts according to workload, providing efficient cooling with low noise levels.
Robust
The ELC Pro HD is built to meet the toughest demands in professional photography. The carrying handle, accessory bayonet, and stand mount are generously sized to meet the professional photographer's requirements.
Widest Accessory Range on the Market
Elinchrom has used the same accessory bayonet for over 50 years, and the ELC Pro HD is no exception. The range of reflectors and Rotalux softboxes is the largest on the market. The Elinchrom ELC Pro HD is available in two models and several package versions. The ELC is available in two versions with different power. Choose the ELC 500 (7-500 Ws) for portrait, wedding, family group, and product photography. For larger group photos and environmental/architectural photography, the ELC 1000 (7-1000Ws) is ideal.
