PHOTOKINA 2014: BRONCOLOR

 

Broncolor has announced the Siros range of mono heads. What we see are some of the most advanced specifications ever offered in a mono head.

-fast recycle
-short flash duration
-high speed flash sync

Generally you can only have one or other of the above specs, but with the Siros S units, you can achieve all these features simultaneously.
While many people have been expecting a Profoto B1 competitor giving battery support in a mono, Broncolor have chosen to focus on core features that a flash unit can offer, knowing that battery support can come in the form of supplementary off board power solutions. If you read the spec sheet carefully you see battery power mentioned, although a little mysteriously, so watch this space.

If you want to capture motion crisply, or compete with the sun at shallow depth of field, or if you have high speed sequences to shoot, then the Siros is much like  a 400-800w Scoro pack, featuring many of the core features that the premium Scoro offers, but in a compact mono.

We see the Siros as a whole new technological standard for flash performance. Bron have set a new benchmark for speed, and performance. Where mono heads were usually seen as an entry level option, now we recognise that many productions are compact, mobile, and need high speed performance, so the Siros truly becomes a pro tool, where before packs were the only option.

We have been advised that the Siros will ship December 2014 / January 2015, and we honestly can’t wait to offer you these incredible units for your next production. Watch this space for our rental stock.
