Elinchrom continues its development of battery-powered flash heads with the introduction of the FIVE Monolight. The 522Ws FIVE recycles in 1.6 seconds at full power and has a removal lithium-ion battery that will give you 450 flashes at full power and an impressive 14,600 flashes at minimum power, while it charges to 80% in 70 minutes and 100% in 95 minutes. The head’s 26W bi-color LED modeling light puts negligible strain on the battery and even has a CRI of 91 to 94.

Elinchrom is generous with control options. A separately purchased Transmitter Pro dedicated to your camera has a 656′ wireless range and provides TTL, while the FIVE offers built-in wireless Bluetooth control that’s compatible with Elinchrom’s Studio Software for Windows, Android, Mac, and iOS. The FIVE ships with a 6.3″ Wide Reflector, a charger, and a Hard Case.
