Elinchrom Quadra Action Flash Head

Elinchrom Quadra Action Flash Head

  • Availability: In Stock

$1,289.40 $1,689.11

The Quadra Action Flash Head from Elinchrom is a lightweight 10 oz, portable flash head with a flash duration of 1/5700 of a second. Therefore, the fast flash duration can freeze motion to capture a fast-moving subject completely still. The flash head is smaller than most conventional heads on the market, and it will travel to places where normal-sized heads cannot.

The 20W LED pilot light enables you to see where your shadows fall, and the light is equivalent to a 50W halogen lamp. The plug-in flash tube is replaceable, a 5.3" reflector is included, and the umbrella holder accommodates EL Umbrellas up to 41" in diameter. Furthermore, if you want to use standard-sized accessories from Elinchrom, the Quadra Reflector Adapter is required. Additionally, the included 8.2' flash cable is interchangeable, and there are many optional cable extensions available to choose from.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does exposure decrease when camera shutter speed going from 1/250 up to 1/8000 sec ?

A: Once you pass sync speed the shutter will affect the exposure.

Q: 2. Does this require an additional speed ring to use 53" rotalux octa?

A: If your Rotalux has the standard Elinchrom ring you will need the adapter. https://bhpho.to/2WmB1Mx

Q: 3. I hear a lot about how previous Elinchrom users complain that the Elinchrom mount is not very sturdy and can wear out easily. Can someone clarify and share their experience with this issue? Has the mount on your strobe (and any light modifiers) worn out yet, or do they function fine?

A: Hi,The Elinchrom mount is very sturdy and robust! The issue some users encounter is mounting it on a C-Stand type spigot. Different manufacturers of C-Stands, booms and other types of spigots have different depths between the top of the mount and the part where it recesses and then the bottom of the mount. The Elinchrom receiver is designed to ANSI standards for a 5/8 /16mm spigot. Usually this is a threaded top style type spigot.There is an adapter coming from KUPO which will address this and allow users who use C-Stands or spigots with the different depth.KG013212 will be available in stores by the end of April.I hope this helps.Regards,Will HBrand Manager Lighting, Mac Group US

Q: 4. Can this be used with an ELB 500 or 1200 power pack?

A: Unfortunately, this ringflash is not compatible with the Elinchrom ELB 500 or 1200 packs.

Q: 5. Hello, will this work with the Quadra Hybrid battery pack and the EL-Transmitter with HS for Canon to get the High Speed Synch? Willthe El-Transmitter with HS work with the Quadra Hybrid Battery Pack and get the full HS synch? Thank you.

A: According to the compatibility chart provided by Elinchrom, the Quadra HS head would be HS compatible when used with the Quadra Hybrid pack with the EL-Skyport Transmitter Plus HS for Canon.

Q: 6. Since they call this flash a moonlight, is there a battery inside that charges so that the unit can function unplugged?

A: No, but there is a third party battery pack that works with it.

Q: 7. Will this work with ELB 500?

A: This cable will work with an ELB 500.

Q: 8. If i buy ELC Pro HD 500/100 from the USA , can I use it in Europe?

A: As the Elinchrom ELC Pro HD 1000 Flash Head's operating voltage is listed as 90 - 265 VAC, 50/60 Hz, yes, it may be used in European countries. However, if the country you are visiting uses 220-240V voltage, you would need to purchase either the Sylvania / Osram Lamp (300W/230V), B&H # SY300W230V, or the Kaiser Halogen Lamp 300W 230V 3200K, B&H # KAHALGLAMP, for use as the modeling lamp, as the included modeling lamp is designed for use on 100-120V current and would not be compatible for use in Europe. Also, do note that you would have to use a plug adapter to convert the USA plug to the plug type used in the country in which you will be using the strobe unit.

Q: 9. Will it fits ELB 500 ttl flash head?

A: It is designed for the 5.3" reflector.

Q: 10. Which replacement flash bulb does this model take?

A: This is the flash tube for the ELC Pro https://bhpho.to/2K4rvJ7.

The interchangeable mounts are an equally well made match for the respective platforms, and we purchased Quadra and Bowens/Godox for our two main mobile strobe systems. We had been seen the smaller Aputure Lantern on the Godox AD200s with OEM adapters, and now we are using the Westcott as the size is better on pole for outdoor, and the size is better for closer space indoors. We particularly like the adapter inserts and how positive the system locks together, and this matches the sewing and details with the lantern itself. Another exceptional Westcott product.

It just opens up the hi-sync flash world up to you.

I have all 3 different types of strobe heads for the Elinchrom system--each has different purposes. I work a lot of dancers and I need the quick flash duration to freeze the dancers. Unless I need to overpower the sun with HS or doing still portraits, these are my go to heads.

I purchased this flash head so that I can shoot HS. I also purchased the Skyport Transmitter Plus HS to use with this light. It's a great light. I love the speed. I was able to shoot at 1/4000s in full Texas sun. I love the results!

I will give this 4 stars only because you still get a very slight gradation to the images depending on the aperture and shutter speed. If I could give half stars it would be 4.5. I'm using this with an ELB400 and a D4s. Overall, I'm satisfied and would buy another one. It does require the use of the Elinchrom Skyport HS to work though - but we know this. I would highly recommend this head over the pro head even though they say the pro is compatible. I say not so much! I was very disappointed with the results with the skyport using the pro head. This one is going to be fun! Oh - be aware the bulb is also different than on the pro head so you may want to order a spare bulb when you order the HS head too.

I had an ELB400 with a Pro head, I could not shoot faster than 1/1250 without getting an ugly grading.
This head came to solve my problem and expanding my horizons being able to shoot up to 1/8000.
I loved buying this head.

I use the HS lights for capturing action like Skateboarding and they give me consistent results that are necessary in the industry. There is usually no second takes if they land their trick.

HS Flash heads are a perfect add to my lighting system. Love the results I get from this light.

Nice that someone realized that a product that fits everyone's equipment is a good idea. Between this and speedlight insert I am very happy with fit and the performance of Westcott Rapid Box Switch. It clicks into the Elinchrom Quadra head as well as the Elinchrom adapter. Not quite as heavy duty as the speedlight adapter but its round shape make feel secure.
