Broncolor Siros 400 L WiFi RFS 2.1 incl. Flash Bag 1.1

The Broncolor Siros 400 L WiFi RFS 2.1 incl. Flash Bag 1.1 is a studio flash from the Siros monolight series. Powered by a Li-ion battery, the flash head delivers a maximum of 440 flashes at full power after a charging time of 70 minutes. The modelling light is a 25 W LED to preserve the battery.

Speed is central to the design of the Siros L. The recycle time is a lightning-fast 0.03 to 1.2 seconds, while the standard flash duration at 0.5mm is just 1/11,300 sec. There is also a speed mode that bypasses the Siros L's enhanced colour temperature control to prioritise short flash durations and high recycle speeds. The result is a flash duration of 1/19,000 at minimum power — fast enough to freeze water droplets and other stop-action effects. The Siros L has a variable power range of 9 stops, from full power down to 2 Ws. While higher settings allow you to overpower the sun, lower settings make it possible to use even the largest aperture openings for the desired effect. All functions are accessible on the straightforward, intuitive panel via an ergonomic dial, but you can also access the menus and controls of up to 6 units using your tablet or smartphone and the free bronControl app.

The Siros L features Broncolor HS for synchronisation at shutter speeds up to 1/8,000 sec. Broncolor HS requires an RFS2.2 transmitter, available for Canon, Nikon, and Sony cameras. Existing Siros owners should ensure their units have the latest user-upgradeable firmware, available online on the Broncolor website.
