Tilting Head
Due to the danger of overheating, the modeling light should
never be operated at full power for more than 20 minutes.
Then adequate cooling should be provided for. The modeling
light should never be used for lighting up the studio but only as
an assistance when focusing or determining the light guiding
and shadow details of the flash.
Acclimatizing
When moving the compact flash unit from one climatic zone to
the next, the appliance should stand in the room, in which it will
be operated, for some time before starting it up. This prevents
internal shortcuts caused by eventually condensing water.
Positioning
eFLASH compact flash units are equipped with a Tilting Head
11. The unit can be attached to a stand or pantographs using
one of the two holes a. The head can be swivelled round 360°.
By tightening the knurl screw b the unit can be fixed. The safety
screw must be screwed into thread c. Wing nut d guarantees
for tilting up and down. To ensure smooth movement please oil
the threat if necessary. Above the tilting head an umbrella
holder e is integrated.
Accessories
All HENSEL reflectors and HENSEL softboxes of series EHT
(adapter Ø: 10 cm), accessories included, may be attached to
the eFLASH compact flash; also umbrellas and Softstar.
Assembly of reflectors and softboxes
When connecting reflectors or softboxes holding clamps
must be unlocked. For doing this, lever 10 of the reflector quick-
change mechanism has to be shifted to the left side until having
reached stop position. Now the accessory has to be attached
plain and even. Please avoid any tilting or canting. For attaching
lever 10 has to be shifted right until locking. The lock avoids any
unintentional shifting. For loosening, please hold the attached
unit (Attention - the attached item could be very hot!), push
lever 10 forward and then shift it to the left for opening.
Assembly of umbrellas and Softstar
An umbrella holder is integrated above the tilting head 11e. It
allows for the connection of various umbrellas, Softstar or Super
Focus Reflector by using the provided screw (M6x16).
