Lencarta Safari 2 1200Ws Portable Flash System Brand: Lencarta Stock Code: FLA018K-2 Product Details Specifications

The new Safari 2 is the most powerful and the most versatile portable flash system available, and has the shortest flash durations and the fastest recycling in its class.

It consists of a matched pair of small, lightweight 600Ws flash generators, each with its own heavy duty metal flash head.

Each can be adjusted individually over a 5 stop range (full power to 1/32nd power) which means that this is the ONLY system that has TRUE assymetric power adjustment - all systems from other manufacturers have either a fixed ratio between the two heads or have an adjustable, but limited ratio. The Safari 2 has no limits!

The Safari 2 is unique to Lencarta and our authorised dealers. If you see apparently similar lookalike products, you will find that their specification and physical characteristics, are in fact inferior.

The Safari 2 has full remote control, and the kit includes our Wavesync Commander System with two receivers. And because the new Safari 2 uses the same Wavesync Commander system that's used on our mains powered and Atom flashes, it can be used alongside them, in the same shoots. This is the remote control and triggering system that we've now adopted as standard, so the new Safari 2 will be compatible with our future flash heads too.

  • 5 stops of power adjustment. A full 5 stops of adjustment opens the creative possibilities and allows larger apertures to be used when needed
  • Powerful modelling lamp. The 15 watt LED modelling lamp is the brightest in its class, and is the equivalent of a 150 watt tungsten modelling lamp. It can be left on indefinitely if required, making it ideal for video use
  • Full remote control via USB port. This allows you to set the controls on the Safari 2 using our Wavesync Commander System. as well as on the flash generator
  • Uses the same remote control as our other new technology flashes. This means that you can use the Safari 2 in conjuction with our other new technology flashes (SuperFast, Atom, SmartFlash 2, ElitePro 2 and future models) and control all of them individually from the transmitter fitted to your camera hotshoe.
  • Lithium battery. This provides 400 flashes at full power, many more at lower power settings.
  • Overheat protection, to avoid the risk of overheating.
  • Precise digital control of power, displayed on the LED display panel. The digital control knob adjusts the power setting and displays it on both the control panel and on the Wavesync Commander unit.
  • Slave Cell allows either one or both units to be used as slaves, where the ambient light isn't excessively bright
  • S1/S2 slave options, the slave cell can be set to either respond to or to ignore the first flash, allowing it to be used with hotshoe flashguns that fire a pre-flash
  • Small and light.
  • And because the new Safari 2 uses the same Wavesync Commander system that's used on our SuperFast and Atom flashes, it can be used alongside them, in the same shoots. This is the remote control and triggering system that we've now adopted as standard, so the new SmartFlash 2 will be compatible with our future flash heads too.
Its 5 stops of power adjustment allows a wide choice of aperture settings, it has extremely accurate power consistency and colour temperature consistency, and it accepts all of the vast range of light shaping tools and modifiers produced in the very popular Bowens ‘S’ fitting.The heavy duty connecting cable is a fraction under 3m long, allowing the flash head to be raised over 3 m high if required.And, because this kit consists of two stand alone units, working together, you can add any number of either single or twin unit kits to expand your creative possibilities, with full remote and independant remote control of each unit.  

Tough kit for tough conditions The Safari 2 has been designed for hard work and, apart from the top of the generator unit, battery and minor parts of the flash head, is made entirely of metal.

And although it is not actually waterproof, it can be used in wet conditions with reasonable care, as this photo demonstrates. The ground was soaked with water for this shot, and the 'rain' came from a watering can.

The battery is sealed against water ingress, so it is safe to stand it on wet ground - or even in a puddle, as long as the water does not reach the battery charging point, 10cm from the base. The top of the unit, and the flash head, do however need to be protected against water and should be covered by a plastic bag when necessary.

There is also a loop sewn into the rear, this is perfect for fitting onto the base of a lighting stand, where it provides a useful weight.  

Reviews: As this is a brand new product, it will be some time before any reviews can be carried out by magazines. However, one of first our customers, Nicholas Hill, has published a review here on his blog.
