Lencarta Safari 2

THE LENCARTA Safari 2 is a portable battery pack and
600W light that packs a punch whether you’re shooting in
the studio or on location. The battery pack powers a single
fl ash head, so a two-head kit would use two batteries. This
means more fl ashes per charge and the ability to move the
two lights further apart without worrying about cable length.
The Safari sports an LED modelling lamp and a 5-stop
fl ash range covering full power to 1/32nd power. Safari kits
come with a Commander System wireless trigger, but also
have a sync socket for other radio triggers and sync cables.
