    Explorer 1500 Watt/Second Power Supply

    B&H# SPE1500 | Mfr# 11252

    The Speedotron Explorer 1500 Power Supply is part of the Speedotron Black Line of strobe products. It is a cost-effective solution to gas-powered generators, where AC power for strobes is not available.

    The Explorer provides up to 225 full power flashes to a single Black Line Series flash head (available separately). Its battery has an integral charger that operates with any AC current from 85-265 AC Volts. It has 2 head outlets, and power may be divided asymmetrically - 1000 and 500 watt/seconds. It will power your heads' modeling lights up to 10 seconds at a time, powering off automatically, to conserve battery power (150 watts maximum recommended). Recycle time is 3.5 seconds @ full power.

    • Asymmetrical Power Distribution
    Power to 2 heads may be ratioed 1:2 or 1:1, using the Combine/Isolate Switch.
    • Seven F-Stop Power Range
    Minimum power is 46.8 total or 31.2 plus 15.6 watt/seconds.
    • Built in Optical Slave
    Fires without sync cords, from the light of another strobe.
    Maximum Watt/Seconds

  • 2 x 103/CC Flash Head with UV Flashtube, 7"

    Speedotron

    103/CC Flash Head with UV Flashtube, 7"

    B&H# SP103UV7 | Mfr# 12233-7

    Incredibly compact, the 103 universal light unit is perfect for fitting into tight spots on location or in the studio.

    This Lamphead is ideal for those on a budget or those photographers who will not be putting much power through their flashtubes. The convection cooling (rather than fan cooling) makes this flash head less expensive, but more likely to over-heat if repeatedly flashed for prolonged shoots.

    This head would be ideal for the still life photographer working in a tight space at a slow (one or two shots per minute)pace. The color corrected flashtube warms the hue of the light output by 300°. A power supply for this flash head is required.

    • Compact Design
    Specifically designed without a fan with a lower, smaller profile, with a removable powere cord for easy packing for location work or for quieter operation when in use.
    • Budget Friendly
    The 103 Lamphead is rugged, but is less expensive than the other lampheads in the Speedotron Lineup.
    • Changeable Reflector
    The reflector can be removed and a speed ring added for use with a softbox.
    • User Replacable Flashtube
    This "Plug-and-Play" Flashtube is inexpensive and easy to replace.
    • Modeling Light
    User changeable, 150W quartz halogen for ease of positioning and focus.
    • Long Reaching Cable
    Detachable cable aids in placement 20' from the power pack. Extension cables are available for working at greater distances.
    • Color Corrected Flashtube
    Warmer hue of light output is more popular for portraits.

  • 54" Umbrella with Removable Black Backing

    Speedotron

    54" Umbrella with Removable Black Backing

    B&H# SPU54P | Mfr# 24539

    The Speedotron/Photek 54" Umbrella with Removable Black Backing, enables it to be used as a makeshift softbox, when mounted on your Speedotron flash head or monolight.

    This 54" size is perfect for a 3 - 4 person head-to-waist shot, or 4 x 6' product setup. It will illuminate ~16 sq ft.

    • Unique construction consisting of ten panels instead of the usual eight gives more reflective surface, more perfect circle of light - more flattering catch lights in the subject's eyes.
    • The removable black nylon cover stops all stray and ricochet, enhancing total light control
    • With removal of its black cover and a reversal of direction, the Softlighter II becomes a "softbox" -- a shoot-through diffuser, providing light that can be used either as a main light source or as a flattering fill.
    • Note: For mounting shoe mount flash units to the Softlighter II a shoe mount light stand/umbrella adapter is necessary. Shoe mount flash units must be set to Manual because the entire flash will be inside the umbrella (unless the flash unit is equipped with a remote sensor).
    • Note: For strobe use only -- not for use with hot lights, or modeling lights over 200 watts.
