Achernar 400 Battery Strobe
Tax included where applicable. Delivery, rigging and commissioning arranged by your concierge.
ELVARNIXO Strobes — daylight, on demand
Location flash is a logistics problem wearing a beauty problem; the Achernar solves both — measured colour in a weather-shrugging shell, with runtime numbers you can plan a day around.
We build flash the way rental houses wish everyone did: stable colour from full power to the ninth stop down, recycle times that hold at frame twenty of a burst, and user-replaceable flashtubes seated in machined mounts. Fans are temperature-governed and honest about their noise figure, and modelling LEDs track flash output so what you see is what fires.

- Swap batteries mid-shoot in seconds — packs charge in the case
- User-replaceable flashtube in a machined ceramic mount
- HSS to 1/8000 s and TTL modules for major camera systems

Care
Let fans finish their cool-down before casing; store capacitors formed by powering the unit monthly between jobs. Flashtubes and modelling LEDs are user-replaceable — handle tubes by ceramic, never glass. Annual service includes capacitor health, colour check and firmware.
Questions, Answered
Will it sync with my camera system?
Standard sync, HSS and TTL modules cover the major camera systems; the listing states which. Tell the concierge your bodies and we confirm before dispatch.
How fast is the recycle really?
Rated at mains voltage and full power in the specification — measured, with the burst behaviour noted. Battery units state shots per charge at full and half power.
The ELVARNIXO Promise
One standard across the range: if it would not survive our own rental fleet, it does not ship with the ELVARNIXO mark.
