- Page 1 Many thanks for buying the Lencarta Safari Li-on portable flash system. It’s very simple and intuitive to set up and use, but these instructions should make it even easier… Please check that the following items are included in your delivery: 1.
- Page 2 The standard head is supplied with a protective cap, which should always be in place when the head is being stored or transported. The head cap MUST be removed when in use and replaced by either a reflector, other type of light modifier or a softbox. The first thing to do is to attach the battery to the generator unit.
- Page 3 Power adjustment and settings. The maximum power is 600 joules (or watt seconds). To use the unit at full power, either attach a flash head to each socket or, if only one flash head is in use, attach it to socket A.
- Page 5 The modelling lamp The standard flash head has an extremely bright LED modelling lamp , covered by a yellow filter (see photo on the left). This produces a powerful, consistent light at 5500K, ideal for video use as well as its primary function as a modelling lamp.
- Page 6 You may have heard that airlines do not allow lithium batteries to be carried, but the restrictions apply to commercial quantities of lithium batteries, not on personal use items or where the battery is an essential part of the equipment, as with the Safari Li-on. Carry strap...
- Page 7 The Safari Li-on does NOT have an optical slave cell, because slave cells are unreliable in normal outdoor lighting conditions and useless in bright sunlight. If you wish to use one or more Safari Li-on units as slaves, you should fit a radio receiver to each unit. You can however, plug an optical slave unit into the synch socket if you wish.
- Page 8 Using your Safari Li-on as a ringflash If you have bought a Li-on ringflash kit, or have bought the optional ringflash head to go with your Li-on kit then you have the best ringflash kit on the market! Mounting the ringflash: The ringflash head can be used with all camera/lens combinations as long as the lens has a diameter of no more than 98mm.
- Page 9 All other S-fit accessories and light shaping tools will also fit your Safari Li-on standard flash head BUT you should not fit heavy accessories such as large beauty dishes or very large softboxes, because the plastic construction of the flash head is not designed to cope with the strain of heavy accessories.
- Page 10 All Lencarta products are fully compliant with both ROHS and EU standards and have been issued with the necessary certificates. We are also fully compliant with WEE Regulations and are happy to accept any Lencarta electrical products for recycling, once they have reached the end of their useful life.
