For professional studio use, Elinchrom have developed the high-end ELC Pro HD system; providing photographers with a competent, reliable, powerful head featuring a myriad of practical, creative features. The ELC 500 boasts a recycling time of 0.6 seconds and a 1/5000 second flash duration, while maintaining consistent colour temperature and flash power. Uniquely, the ELC Pro HD features an easy-to-read OLED display screen which indicates power, flash duration and other settings; navigated and controlled via jog-wheel. Several new shooting modes provide photographers with new artistic tools with which to explore their inventiveness, as can be seen in the product demonstration video. The head comes complete with a glass dome to protect the lamp, 16cm reflector and sync cable.

The Elinchrom ELC Pro-HD Compact 500 Flash Head

New Shooting Modes
The ELC features three exciting new shooting modes that will literally change the way you create.

Sequence Mode - Allows you to sequentially trigger up to 20 ELCs, in bursts or as a continuous cycle, to utilise the high frame rate of your camera.

Delayed Mode - Provides the option of first or second curtain sync and everything in-between, plus predictive synchronisation within a short sequence.

Strobo Mode - Enables you to take a picture with stroboscopic effects within a single frame.

A powerful tool for the discerning photographer
The ELC Pro-HD Compacts 500 and 1000 are the world's most complete, feature rich compact studio flash units. The result of over 50 years experience at the forefront of studio lighting technology. Designed and assembled at Elinchrom's HQ in Switzerland the ELC benefits from the highest Swiss specification.

Elinchrom President Chris Whittle says, "We set out to make a unit that would not only change the way a photographer works but also the way that they think. We believe the ELC combines everything a photographer needs with everything a photographer wants, plus the consistency and reliability that you expect from Elinchrom."

Recycling times are lightning fast (0.6s / 1.2s to full power, ELC 500w / ELC 1000w) while Swiss precision guarantees consistency of power output and colour temperature, shot after shot. Furthermore the super fast flash durations (up to 1/5000s / 1/5260s, t0.5, ELC 500 / ELC 1000) enable you to freeze motion like never before.

The ELC is the first unit to incorporate an OLED screen that displays every control for the most professional user experience. As well as Elinchrom's stop based power scale, you will now be able to see the power in Joules, flash durations and many other settings. A jog wheel provides easy navigation of the new menu.

The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.

During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.

Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
