The Certo 200 comes with a power cable, transport cap, and a stand adapter with built-in umbrella holder.

The head offers a 7-stop power range, from 7 to 400Ws with very fast recycle times of 0.5 - 1.1 seconds with flash durations as short as 1/2500 second for effective action stopping. The head also features a built-in, 16-channel radio receiver, compatible with Hensel's optional Cactus transceivers with triggering capability at distances up to 328'.

• Softbox (24 x 32") This 24 x 32" Hensel Softbox softens light from a flash unit and features changeable front and internal diffusers for modifying light characteristics. It utilizes a silver internal coating and features a recessed front panel for minimizing light scatter. Also, hook-and-loop fasteners are available for attaching accessories like honeycomb grids.
  
  The heavy-duty softbox requires an optional speed ring for use with Hensel EH and MH lighting systems and it includes front and internal diffusers.
• Speed Ring EH The Speed Ring EH from Hensel is a rotating mount that connects all current Hensel softboxes with flash heads that have an EH mount such as the EH Mini and EH Pro series. The aluminum speed ring is color coded for fast and easy setup.
• 7" Grid Reflector for Hensel This is a reflector that will fit all Hensel flash heads. It can accept round, 7" grid spots by Hensel, or Delta, without any other attachments to add.
• 30° Honeycomb Grid for 7" Reflector This Honeycomb Grid provides a beam spread of 30° when mounted to a Hensel 7" reflector. Grids are essential accessories for any lighting system. These devices alter the shape and intensity of the light output from your flash heads. Consider them as a painter would a brush or a sculptor would a knife or chisel. Use of a grid will result in a small circle of light when it is attached to the front of your light source. The size of the circle of light will be determined by the density of the honeycomb, its thickness, and the distance of the subject.
• Cactus Flash Transceiver V5 Operating on the 2.4 GHz frequency, the Cactus Flash Transceiver V5 from Hensel can function as a transmitter or receiver, on-camera or off-camera, with speedlights via its hot shoe, or connected to strobes via its 3.5mm port. Measuring only 3.2 x 2.7 x 1.4" and weighing just two ounces, (without two separately purchased AAA batteries) the low-profile Cactus Transceiver has 16 discrete channels, employs four different groups for multiple setup control, and can trigger flash heads from distances up to 328'. Convenience features include FST (Frequency Self-Tune) technology that automatically "tunes" the transceiver to its last working frequency when exposed to extreme weather conditions, as well as a low battery indicator.
