The Quadra, one of Elinchrom’s most anticipated products, is a compact,
lightweight battery pack and head system which is now available in the US.
Not only are Quadra’s small and lightweight, they are also powerful and
fast. Quadra’s have a power range from 8.2 to 400ws and support two asymmetric
heads. Lightning fast recycle times and Elinchrom’s shortest flash duration
helps make for an unbeatable package.
Some of the built in features include:
- Built-in Skyport Triggering
- Eye-Cell Technology (to help with pre-flash issues)
- Power Steps (from 1/10 step increments to any 1/20, 1/30, … 1/90,
1 stop increments)
- 20 watt LED Modeling Light (which burns at 5900 degrees Kelvin, great for
HD video)
- Adjustable ready-beep sound length
- Programmable On/Off Modeling Light
- Short Flash Durations (A-heads capable of up to 1/6000 (in B port), S-heads
capable of up to 1/3200 (in B port))
- Quick recycle times (2.2 seconds at full power)
- Great flash capacity
- 6.6 F-Stop Range
- Quickly recharges (1.5 hours full recycle – 45 minutes 80%)
- Access to most of Elinchrom’s world class modifiers with optional
adaptor ring
The Ranger Quadra is designed to work with two brand new heads known as Ranger
Q heads. The Quadra “S” (standard) head shortest flash duration
is 1/3200 of a second while the Quadra “A” head shortest flash duration
is 1/6000 of a second. These new heads are about the same size and weight as
popular tilt-head flashes on the market today but provide a much broader power
range and access to modifiers. Their small size allows them to be mounted just
about anywhere using a Manfrotto 175 spring clamp to clamp onto a window sill,
lamp, door frame, or even the back of a chair.
The Ranger Q heads have their own line of Elinchrom accessories to accommodate
their super-compact size. The heads come with a 5.3” standard reflector.
A Quadra 7” grid reflector and a 15.75” Quadra square softbox are
also available. Ranger Q heads can be fitted with an optional Ranger Quadra
Reflector Adapter for EL Reflectors (EL 26339) which allows all of Elinchrom
modifiers; except the 53” and 69” Rotalux to be used with a Quadra
head.
