Description

Canon Speedlite EL-1 (Version 2)

The Canon Speedlite EL-1 Version 2 is a professional flash with fast recycle times and reliable performance. It is the successor to the Speedlite EL-1. It features advanced wireless communication with a powerful rechargeable battery. With recycle times of just 0.1 to 0.9 seconds, the flash delivers impressive burst performance of up to 170 flashes at full power. This also works with a lower battery charge.

The powerful LP-EL battery ensures fast shooting and consistent reliability, even during long shoots. With a single charge, you can take up to 2,380 shots, while the accurate battery indicator shows exactly when charging or replacement is necessary.

Whether you're working on location or in the studio, the EL-1 Ver.2 always delivers top performance. With a powerful guide number of 58 and a robust, dust- and water-resistant design that matches Canon's L-series lenses. The active cooling system prevents overheating, so you can keep shooting without interruption.

The EL-1 Ver.2 offers complete freedom in lighting thanks to wireless control via radio or optical triggers. Whether you're using a single flash or a setup with multiple Speedlites, individually or in groups. This gives you complete control over your lighting setup from any angle.

The built-in bi-color LED lamp helps you visualize the light fall in advance by showing where the flash will fall and where shadows will appear. The manual flash output can be adjusted with extreme precision, from full power to a minimum output of 1/8192, for optimal creative control.
