Product description

• Porty L 1200 Power Pack The evolution of Lithium battery technology has enabled the production of the Hensel Porty L 1200 Power Pack. Used with a Speed Flash Head this 1200W/s power pack will provide a flash duration of 1/2500 second at full power, and a blistering 1/8100 second at minimum power with recycle times as short as 0.2 seconds. Digital processing ensures consistent power output hour after hour, day after day. The L 1200 distributes power to your flash heads symmetrically or asymmetrically in 1/10 stop increments over a 7 stop range, displayed on its bright 7-segment performance indicator. Although you can go "old school" and fire the Porty via a 1/4" phono plug sync cord or its built-in optical slave, going wireless is a better way. The L 1200 makes it easy with built-in Profoto Air, Hensel Strobe Wizard Plus and Freemask receivers.The optional transformer/quick charger is multi-voltage, auto-sensing. Besides charging the battery, it can be used as an AC power supply when set to slow recycle mode.
  Higher Performance through Lithium Technology
  • Lithium technology has allowed Hensel to re-engineer the Porty for today's photographer:
    
  • Faster, smaller, lighter, but with stronger output performance than units with lead-gel cell battery
  • Only 13.5 lb (6.12 kg) total weight but 1200W/s output
  • Extremely fast flash recycle times from 0.2 sec.
  • Extremely short flash duration up to 1/8100 sec (with Speed Head)
  • Choice of symmetric or asymmetric power distribution via the "A" or "B" socket
  • Individual settings in 1/10 f-stop increments
  • Output range of 7 f-stops
  Remote Control
  • Integrated Profoto Air radio, Hensel Strobe Wizard Plus and Freemask receivers. Switchable radio remote functions: output adjustment, triggering, modeling light, standby. Full remote control with both systems, manufacturer compatible.
    
  • Integrated radio antenna for optimum protection
  Structural and Convenience Features
  • Metal housing with sturdy, protective rubber profile
  • Large 7-segment performance indicator
  • Special ergonomic handle bar for carrying, with integrated spare fuses
  • Optional use of AC mains switch drawer instead of power pack
  • Connector socket for round plugs / Hensel Porty connector and Pro Mini / 20-pol. long plug via adapter
  • USB port for software updates
  • Durable foil surface with "real" push-buttons and clearly detectable imprint around the push-buttons. Optimized for your sense of touch
  • Name and position of switches and control units are generally the same as previous generation
  • APD, internal power reduction when reducing power output
  • Synchronous socket for standard cord 1/4" (6.3 mm) phono plug
  • Very low synchronous voltage protects digital cameras
  • Thermal monitoring of performance electronics
• EH Pro Mini 1200 P Porty Flash Head Hensel Studiotechnik has shrunk the size of the original Porty head and now offers the EH Pro Mini 1200 P Flash Head. It is super compact and much easier to transport. The included detachable 16' (5 m) head cable (red collar) may be replaced with an optional 22' (7 m) or 33' (10 m) cable. The weight has dropped dramatically as well -- it's a full 20 oz (0.6 kg) lighter than the previous EH Pro 1200 head, but it retains full compatibility with all Hensel Portys, studio power packs, and Hensel accessories.
  Reflector Compatibility
  • Reflectors can be attached at any angle and simply locked into place with the snap of one lever.
  Umbrella Socket
  • Universal, heavy duty umbrella holder with quick release accommodates up to a 0.5" shaft.
  User Replaceable Flashtube
  • No tools are needed to replace flashtube.
  Protection Glass Dome
  • Surrounds the flashtube for an added margin of safety. Optional domes available in different warming, or softening tones.
  Easy to Control
  • Handle provided for panning, swiveling and carrying.
• Quick Charger for Porty L 600, L 1200, Power Max L Lithium Batteries The Hensel Quick Charger for Porty L 600, L 1200 and Power Max L Lithium Batteries recharges the Lithium-ion battery that powers the Porty L 600, L 1200 portable generators as well as the Max L power inverter. The multi-voltage charger can provide an 80% charge to the battery in 50 minutes.
• 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.
• Alu Stand III Light Stand (6.9') This is a Hensel Alu III Stand. It rises to a maximum height of 6.9', has a black finish, and is compact when folded (28.7") for easy transport and storage.
  • Aluminum alloy construction
  • Three riser sections
• Strobe Wizard Plus Remote Control Transmitter The Hensel Strobe Wizard Plus Radio Slave System combines radio triggering, model light activation, and flash power control into one single compact device (with Hensel strobes that support these features). The availability of 3 channels prevents interference between different work groups within the same studio. On channel #4 (master channel) all devices can be controlled simultaneously, regardless of the channel they are set to. In addition, this improved Plus version has a maximum sync speed of 1/250th. The transmitter is small, light and easily mounts into a hot shoe. In addition, it also comes supplied with a short sync cord (sub-mini connection) for PC sync connection. Note: The Plus version can only be operated with an external Strobe Wizard Plus receiver (#3951), or with internal receivers build into Integra Plus monolights having a flash arrow printed on the dialer for flash setting. Also works with the built-in receiver of the Porty Premium Plus (#4954), not with the Porty Premium AS/RC (#4953).
  • This system supports the possibility of remotely adjusting flash power and activating the modeling light via the Up/Down buttons on heads equipped with built-in receivers.
  • A maximum sync speed of 1/250th second allows for shorter flash durations.
  • Protected by a solid plastic housing.
  • A low sync voltage makes it ideally suited for digital cameras.
  • Receiver has 1/4" (6.3mm) phone plug.
• Softbag VII De Luxe (Black) The black Softbag VII De Luxe from Hensel is a bag designed to carry a Hensel lighting kit with a pack and two heads plus accessories. It has adjustable dividers that can make three compartments. In the cover there is a net pocket for storage of small parts; on the outside of the bag there is a large pocket for accessories.
