Broncolor Senso 1200 RFS 2
The Broncolor Senso 1200 RFS 2 offers independent control in steps of 1/10 stop of each of the three flash head outputs over a range of 5.5 stops asymmetrically or 7.5 stops symmetrically. As with all Broncolor products, you can expect negligible colour shift across the entire range, with a very short flash duration and, in the case of the Senso A2, a recharge time of just 0.4 seconds.
The streamlined design features rubber protective corners and an ergonomic, intuitive control panel with push-button and rocker operation of the pack. The LED readout panels can be set to display f-stop or W/s output. Weighing just 4.6 kg, the Senso A2 is equally at home on location as it is in the studio.
The pack can be triggered by cable and photocell, and can be controlled remotely from a camera or computer via the built-in RF receiver at distances of up to 200 metres.
Senso A power packs can be switched from symmetrical to asymmetrical power distribution using a rocker switch. In symmetrical mode, the full energy of the power pack can be directed to a single lamp output.
The Broncolor RFS 2 trigger system enables independent flash triggering in the same studio across 99 units per workstation (max. 99 workstations). This feature eliminates unintended triggering. All Senso power packs can be controlled wirelessly at distances of up to 200 m. In addition, Senso Power Packs are also equipped with a photocell and can be triggered by any studio flash.
The control range extends to 6.5 f-stops, giving the photographer plenty of creative freedom in a lightweight design.
The short recharge time of 0.4 seconds at minimum power or 1.5 seconds at maximum power (230V) enables rapid flash sequences of moving subjects. Senso also features both an acoustic and an optical ready signal.
The colour temperature of the Senso power pack remains constant across three f-stops, as unnecessary capacitors are switched off.
The heat generated by all key components of the power pack is continuously monitored by the built-in processor. This protects the power pack against overheating and optimises its service life. The built-in data memory ensures that all settings are retained when the unit is switched off or if the mains power is interrupted. In standby mode and when only the modelling light is in use, the power pack's fan is switched off. It starts operating as soon as it becomes necessary after a certain number of flashes have been fired.
Because the Senso Power Packs and Litos lamps are remarkably compact and lightweight, they are easy to take on location shoots outside the studio. Where only poorly secured power sockets are available, the Senso can be switched to slow-charge mode.
