Hensel EH Pro Mini 1200 P Reviews

Great light head for the porty!

By M.R.Photo
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2009-07-06

I own a few light heads for my portys (CH1200, and EHT1200's), and the Pro Mini 1200 is easily the best flash head of them all. Functionality wise it works just like the older units, but the size of the unit makes it much easier to carry around. The removable power cable is a God send when you want to store it; the older units I have are a pain in this regard. The handle on the back of the unit is durable; I've carried it while it was attached to a light stand by the handle and it didn't complain or flex once. The spring-loaded quick release lever for softbox attachments is fluid and engages a little more positively than the older units I own as well. The construction is fairly weather resistant too. They're not water proof, but they can take some spray without complaining. I did a shoot yesterday at the beach and my lights got a little wet from a wave that crashed on the shoreline. The head didn't complain one bit. My only gripe with the unit is that the modeling lamp will not work if you attach it to an AC powered pack like the Pro Mini 1200AS. It's a minor gripe since it was meant to be used on a Porty though. Overall, if you're buying a new porty or have an older one you need to add a light head to, it's hard to go wrong with the Mini 1200p.

question

what kind of remote units work with this flash read. I already have Hensel strobe Wizard plus transmitter, is it work?
Asked by: Alexsandro l.
If you have a Hensel Strobe Wizard transmitter, this flash head could be plugged into the Hensel Porty L 1200 Power Pack, which has a built in Strobe Wizard receiver. Please see the link to the product: http://bhpho.to/1COs38u

question

What's the flashes duration at full power?
Asked by: Anonymous
The flash duration would be based on the power pack the head is being used with. With the Hensel Porty L 1200 Power Pack B&H # HEPL1200, that would be 1/2400 of a sec at maximum power.
