Product description

• Siros 400 S WiFi/RFS 2.1 Monolight Providing a 400Ws output in a compact design, the Siros 400 S WiFi/RFS 2.1 Monolight from Broncolor is a reliable studio flash unit with Wi-Fi connectivity and a built-in RFS 2.1 receiver for wireless control and triggering. It has a 9-stop power range which is adjustable in 1/10 or full stop increments for great control over light output. The Siros S is also quite fast with a flash duration from 1/8000 - 1/1000second and a recycle time of 0.02 - 1.4 seconds depending on power settings. Additionally, the monolight has a halogen modeling light.
  
  Built into the Siros S is a specialized Speed Mode that speeds up the charging time and flash duration to provide a fast sequence of exposures, up to 50 per second at the fastest setting. Also, the unit has a USB connection for software updates and is fan cooled for temperature control. An integrated reflector and mount are included for adding modifiers to the light.
  • When the Siros is connected to a Wi-Fi network, each light can be identified by a different-color LED and can be easily controlled using the bronControl app for smartphones and tablets
  • With the integrated Broncolor RFS 2.1 receiver, users can use the RFS 2.1 transmitter for remote control from the camera
  • Cut-off technology uses a microprocessor to calculate the flash duration to an output, enabling sequences with up to 50 flashes per second
  • Enhanced Color Temperature Control technology adapts flash voltage and duration in order to achieve a constant color temperature over the entire variation range
  • Individual power distribution means the unit has controllers for each lamp in order to have greater control over the flash power range
  • Speed mode reduces flash duration and charging time while reducing the maximum power in order to achieve a series of rapid exposures without overheating
  • Single rotary control for flash power output setting, a slight turn provides 1/10 stops while a "Twist" function allows for whole stops
  • Internal discharge when power is reduced
  • Grip features double-wall plastic with a special coating for durability and comfort
  • Aluminum stand adapter can be used with the handle to function as a built-in floor stand
  • Standard sync port and built-in photocell are available for more elaborate triggering setups
