Elinchrom FIVE – Press Release
Always charged up for any adventure, inside or out.
Elinchrom introduces a new battery monolight; the Elinchrom FIVE.
A 500Ws battery monolight with 450 full-power flashes on a single charge.
The Elinchrom FIVE with Active Charging lets you work in the studio while actively charging your battery, so you’re always ready for your next adventure. Unplug and work on location with up to 450 full-power flashes. The FIVE features a continuous running modeling light and lets you shoot longer, with quicker recycling times and no need to slow down.
Your choice of light shapers
The FIVE, with its Elinchrom Modifier Mount, is natively compatible with Elinchrom accessories. Plus, the comfortable grip makes it seamless to adjust your lighting.
A familiar face
A similar interface as the Elinchrom ELC 152/500, Elinchrom’s quick menu ensures you never miss a chance to capture the moment.
Power to shoot longer
Detachable high capacity li-ion battery
With 450 full power flashes on a single charge, the Elinchrom FIVE ensures you have plenty of power on location.
USB-C / Active Charge
With Active Charging, the Elinchrom FIVE can be connected to any USB-C power source and continue shooting while charging regardless of the battery’s power level, keeping your workflow uninterrupted.
Optimal light spread
Unconcealed flash tube
Shaping light is at the heart of every great image you create. Designed around an unconcealed flash tube for optimal light spread, the FIVE ensures you experience the beautiful light quality Elinchrom is known for.
