Octans 3200 Pack System
Tax included where applicable. Delivery, rigging and commissioning arranged by your concierge.
ELVARNIXO Strobes — daylight, on demand
When campaigns bill by the hour, packs still rule; the Octans rules properly — freeze modes with honest trade-offs, colour discipline across every head, and paperwork your producer will love.
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.

Questions, Answered
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.
What about flash duration for action and liquids?
t0.1 figures per power step are in the photometric report. Freeze modes trade colour stability for speed and say so honestly.
