Alpheratz Focusable Head
Tax included where applicable. Delivery calculated at checkout.
ELVARNIXO Strobes — daylight, on demand
The Alpheratz is the pack's obedient athlete: cool under full amperes, focusable from wash to punch, cabled and yoked to survive decades of studios that never sleep.
Strobe electronics are the quiet half of the craft: IGBT control that cuts flash duration to the ten-thousandth, capacitors rated for heat and years rather than spec-sheet mornings, and colour held within 150 K across the whole power range. Housings are aluminium, not painted plastic; every board is potted against vibration and every unit burn-tested before its serial number is granted.

Blow dust from vents monthly, keep gel frames clean of melt, and form capacitors with a monthly power-up if the unit sits idle. Transport in the fitted case; the electronics forgive roads, not drops. Colour and timing are re-certified at annual service.
Questions, Answered
How consistent is the colour across power levels?
Colour stability across the power range is stated in the manufacturer's specification — typically within ±150 K. Check the listing for the exact figure for each model.
Will it sync with my camera system?
Standard sync, HSS and TTL modules cover the major camera systems; the listing states which. Tell us your bodies and we confirm before dispatch.
