Fornax Ring Head
Tax included where applicable. Delivery, rigging and commissioning arranged by your concierge.
ELVARNIXO Strobes — daylight, on demand
Heads are where pack systems succeed or sulk; the Fornax succeeds — machined tube seats, strain-relieved cables stocked as spares, and steel where rigging happens.
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.

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
How consistent is the colour across power levels?
Within ±150 K across the full range on our bench, and the exact curve for your serial number ships in the box. Mixed fleets match because every unit is measured, not sampled.
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.
