Why do some things worh better than others? Why is it that you
don't need a user manual to find out how exactly everything works?
And why do your fingers find the right switch without hesitation,
even in total darkness? In our case, the answer is easy: it is the
result of over three decades of compact flash design, the R & D
efforts of an experienced team of engineers and our openness to
the needs of our costumers.

A particular highlight of this series is the built-in radio receiver Strobe
Wizard Plus with freemask, providing not only remote triggering but
also power and modeling light control. The radio trigger system is
technically identical to the one used in units like Porty L, Nova D
and Expert D. A single transmitter is sufficient for all units!

An extremely solid lightweight extruded aluminum housing protects
the sophisticated electronics even in the toughest conditions. The
shifting pan-tilt support with gravitational balancing is also made of
metal. Its fixing mechanism holds the heaviest accessories firmly
in place. The reflector mounting has been improved. Massive metal
guides make reflector positioning easier, while protecting the flash
tube area. Flash power can be adjusted in a range of 6-stops in
1/10 f-stop increments. The selected power level is indicated on a
large display. Buttons with active back-lighting ensure easy and
secure operation even in total darkness. The switchable, highly
sensitive photocell is identical to the one used in the Tria power
packs. A number of other proven features have been taken over
(and many of them improved) from earlier Expert and Contra models.
Besides compatibility with existing accessories, this kind of continuity
ensures a consistent concept of operation.

The units have a 300 W modeling light. Our smart modeling light
goes far beyond conventional full and proportional power operation!
An electronic system continuously monitors the unit's operation, ensuring
that after an adjustable time (5-90 min), the modeling light
power is reduced to a preset value. As soon as the unit is reactivated,
the previous value is restored. While this innovation sounds
less than spectacular, it prevents unnecessary heat built-up and,
more importantly, it multiplies the life span of the modeling lamp.

The plug-in flash tubes are protected by an additional dome guard.
Short flash durations, excellente light efficiency and recharge times
as low as 0,4 s are further important characteristics. This series
goes considerably beyond what is immediately evident by the list
of its features.

Only after touching these units, operating them and working with
them is it possible to fully appreciate our immense experience.
