Dear photographer,
We are pleased to present you with the latest Hensel Catalogue. Inspired by many new ideas that you, our customers,
have given us over the years, we have produced some extremely innovative flash and lighting products which will
help light your path to success.
Whether you cant wait to get your hands on our new bags - perfectly fitted to transport our flash units, or you fancy
our new compact remote control - which despite its small size not only triggers the flash but also allows you to control
both the flash power and model lamp functions Hensel will always be full of innovative ideas giving you the tools
for your creative expression.
Of course, we have dramatically focused on the needs of digital photography. Fast flash durations, high colour accuracy
and user-friendliness are the buzz words. But ergonomics and design are also key factors for our latest generation
of flashes. We have taken to heart your requests for simple yet reliable handling, lightness and speed, incorporating
these decisive specifications for the development of the Pro Mini line, which we will be extending and continuing over
the next few years. In the EH Pro Mini flashes, we have succeeded in generating high levels of flash performance in
a small package, without coming up against the limits of thermal overload too quickly. We will continue our develop-
ment of new products along this path.
The Hensel Team, who invent, develop, and produce our products, are all based here in Würzburg, Germany. I am
pleased that you as an photographer have recognized the difference between quality Made In Germany products
and some of the cheaper imports made in Asia. As the managing director, I would like to take this opportunity to thank
you for choosing Hensel, making us successful across the global market.
We can look back on Photokina 2006 as a great success and with many valuable connections with you, the photogra-
phers. I would therefore invite you to browse this new catalogue and discover the new opportunities for HENSEL to
ease your workflow. Rest assured we will always listen to your requests and we look forward to being put to the test
again in the future.
Joachim Renschke
Managing Director
Why do some things work 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 en-
gineers and our openness to the needs of our customers.
A particular highlight of this series is a built-in radio receiver providing
not only remote triggering but also power and modeling light control.
The radio trigger system is technically identical to the one used in the
The new radio remote control Porty Premium AS/RC. A single transmitter is sufficient for all units!
(for more Information look at page 45) An extremely solid lightweight extruded aluminium casing protects the
sophisticated electronics even in the toughest conditions.
The shifting pan-tilt support with gravitational balancing is also
made of metal. Its novel fixing mechanism holds the heaviest ac-
cessories firmly in place. The reflector mounting has been improved.
Massive metal guides make reflector positioning easier, while pro-
tecting the flash tube area.
Flash power can be adjusted in a range of 6 f-stops in 1/10 f-stop incre-
ments. The selected power level is indicated on a large display.

best performance at smallest dimensions. The ideal part-

The VELA 1500 AS has three easy to use Flashhead con-
nectors. Full power output is available from the sym-
metrical ports A1 and A2 or, additionally, the third
port B can be used asymmetrically. Also, port B al-
lows power output level selection of maximum 500J, 250J
or 125 J. This results in a multitude of different power
output combinations. The use of capacity switching en-
sures the stability of colour temperature and offers very
short flash times. Please note our diagram asymmetrical
modes. Power regulation is done in precise 1/10 f-stop
increments and easy to reproduce! The unit can be regulated
over a total range of 6.5 f-stops . Small but powerful is the
appearance of the VELA AS in a durable Porty housing which
also signals its great mobility. A large digital display
shows the selected power levels at all times.

PRO MINI 1200 AS
HENSEL
DESIGNED & PRODUCED
MADE IN
GERMANY
The combination of a newly developed asymmetrical generator and it's matching extremely small
and powerful flash heads makes for the most amazing travel team. HENSEL designed and created
the ultimate in a small and highly transportable flash system. The Pro MINI provides symmetric
or asymmetric power distribution, multi-voltage (80-250 Volt) load switching and the same
Strobe Wizard radio remote control as the other HENSEL units.
Asymmetric control creates great creative room in light direction and the use of several flash heads
on a single generator. Capacitor circuits ensure quick flash durations and a very stable colour
temperature over the whole control range of the generator. In conjunction with high performance
electronics, this allows for a much greater power range of 37,5 J to 1200 J, adjusted in 1/10
f-stop increments. A further highlight of this range is its fast, 3-channel radio-control triggering.
3 adjustable channels, an all-channel function, modeling light control and power adjustment
provide comfort in the studio.

PORTY PREMIUM PLUS
HENSEL
DESIGNED & PRODUCED
MADE IN
GERMANY
The proven Porty Premium 1200AS/RC was further enhanced and now has one more button to make the users (photographic) life easier.
This button is the key to using the revised radio remote control system. The new Porty PREMIUM PLUS with an integrated radio receiver offers
not only the possibility of radio-controlled triggering but also provides the option of power adjustment in 1/10 f-stop increments. Even the
modeling light can be switched on and off remotely. The channel can be easily selected by using the RC/CH button on the operator panel.
In total, there are 3 different channels available on the device. On the receiver, the channel is selected by means of a sliding switch on the
side. There, you can also select an additional all-channel function, by means of which several devices can be controlled simultaneously. Shortest
sync times of cameras can be uses without restriction. Thanks to the transmitter´s low 6 V voltage, this system offers unquestionably the
safest mode of operation, particularly in conjunction with digital cameras. It can connect either to the cameras direct X-contact or, using
the sync cable provided, to the cameras sync socket. The Portys radio antenna is now screwed on and can be easily removed or replaced
by the user if needed. Another advantage of this technology: When working over great distances, a special longer antenna with considerably
increased sensitivity (accessory) can be used. In response to the wishes of many of our customers, the previous sync socket was replaced
by a standard sync socket with a diameter of 6.3 mm. Thus all standard sync cables can be connected. The socket is protected against water
drops by means of a seal plug.

Batteries can be recharged with multi voltage quick charger within 2,5
hours. One battery charge is good for 100 flashes at full power or up
to 3200 flashes at min. power. Batteries can be recharged inside or outside
of the power pack.
An innovation in the new range: The flash cables are no longer mounted to
the head but can be unscrewed. This provides 3 particular advantages: The
pack size is reduced, thus the flash head is lighter and easier to stow. The
separate cable is easier to roll up and the user can choose the required cable
length in advance. Cables are available in lengths of 5, 7 and 10 m. Of course,
customised lengths are also available. The modelling lamp of the EH Pro Mini
1200 P (Porty) head provides up to 100 W. Alternatively, permanent or timed
(30 s) operation can be pre-selected for the modeling light by means of a
switch on the head. There are appropriate adapters available for use with
other generators. All accessories with a connector diameter of 10 cm from
the EH, EHT, Contra, EXPERT and EXPERT Pro ranges are still compatible.
The heads are protected by the usual sturdy HENSEL metal housing.

ile power. Of course, other electrical devices, such as laptops or personal
computers can also be plugged in. The only requirement is that power con-
sumption should not be too high (max. 300 W).
A quickly replaceable battery drawer with a lead gel battery and no incon-
venient memory effect serves as a power supply. With this system, a 500 J
device can yield approximately 130 flashes at full power. If a modeling
light is being used, the number of flashes is reduced. Additional battery
drawer increase the capacity accordingly and can be changed in seconds,
thanks to the brilliant tray system. The drawer are compatible with those
of the HENSEL Porty 1200 B system and thus facilitate multiple utilisation.
In total, there are three possible ways of charging the batteries: By means
of a charger connected to the mains at any power outlet (110 V 240

Consistently professional, consistently stable in every respect and consistently compatible! In short, the new EH Pro range
from HENSEL is, if you look closely, the sum total of 40 years of experience!
Housed in a 2.5 mm thick solid aluminium drawn profile with a metal reflector quick-change system and a cast pan-tilt plate made of aluminium, these heads are perfect
for any professional because of their mechanical construction alone.
The heads can be used with all EH accessories. Typically for Hensel, the reflector can be put on or taken off in any position and / or rotated about 360°. Slot-in flash tubes,
the bright 650 W modelling light, the high-performance yet quiet fan and a clear safety dome are also part of the basic equipment, as is the integrated umbrella holder
with fast-clip fitting. For further colour-corrected and frosted safety domes, see price list. There is a on/off switch for modeling lamp on the head.
The flash tube / modeling light position has been optimized under measurement room conditions using specialist analysis software and stroboscope camera technology,
so it offers the best possible combination of flash and modeling light, optimum light yield and short burn-down times. All this combined with the almost legendary durability
of the flash tubes gives a stable colour temperature and low maintenance costs.
In simple terms: Consistently good!

device for the mirror, the mirror can be easily changed without using any additional tool.
The mask insertion can be turned by 360° and also easily be fixed. The complete housing
is very hard and sturdy due to its profile structure. Fixing of the zoom lens and the item
onto the bracket is effected via a very practical quick-tension-lock.
The flash tube and the halogen light, which are mounted onto a folding lamp unit,
can be easily exchanged. In case of a defect, this unit can be exchanged without any pro-
blems - no additional tool will be needed

Each shaft can be adjusted individually for the amount of tension on the pull. The
system has been designed for possible expansion and becomes electric simply by
adding motors which can be slid into the shafts and screwed on tightly. These shafts
can then be controlled either by a switch box and cable or with an infrared remote. Code No. 463 for 2.72 m paper

FLASH TRANSMITTERS
Code No. 3952 - New HENSEL radio remote trigger & remote control STROBE WIZARD PLUS
HENSELs new RC / RF radio remote triggering and flash control unit is the perfect solution! It combines radio triggering, modelling light activation* and
flash power control* into one single compact device. The transmitter is small, light and easily mounted on the accessory shoe! As an alternative you can
also use the short sync cable supplied. The transmitter offers a host of further benefits: A synchronisation voltage of only 6 V makes it ideally suited for
digital cameras. The availability of 3 channels prevents interferences between different workgroups within the same studio. On channel #4 (master
channel) all devices can be controlled simultaneously, regardless of the channel they are set to. The external receiver is powered by three standard
AA batteries (alkaline or rechargeable) and is connected directly to the sync socket of a (HENSEL) flash. Since the unit detects automatically
whether the flash is on or off, a separate power switch is not required. No need to worry about empty batteries just because you have
forgotten to push the OFF button. As a matter of course, you can also trigger third-party flashes with our remote control
(please contact us for details). Both the transmitter and the receiver are protected by an extremely solid plastic housing. The transmitter has a minimum
battery life of 1 to 2 years! *The true highlight of this transmitter is no doubt the possibility of remotely adjusting flash power and activating the modelling
light via the Up/Down buttons on heads equipped with built-in receivers. Currently, these functions are only available with the PORTY Premium Plus,
PRO MINI 1200 AS and the HENSEL EXPERT Pro Plus.

systems and motorized adjustment and focusing of lamp heads and spots make this a ceiling system that covers every
need and which can be adapted to any type of structural conditions (beams, sloped ceilings, varying spacing of supports
etc.). With just two rails gantry widths of up to 6 m are possible. System components with a "modular" design for every
set-up variation.

Audio frequency assigned via unit address (ID). Therefore, a kind of melody is possible with selected generators.
The items are precisely stabilized at all power stages. Repeat accuracy of the settings is 100 % guaranteed
by a special adjustment technology. This is a requirement for digital photography. The incremental
input dialers combine the advantage of a precise, sensitive setting (1/10 f-stops per click ) with the
approved analog setting.
2 5 8 9 11 Multivoltage
Multivoltage technology, automatically switchable from 115 V to 230 V.
4 5 8 9 10 11 Internal Coding
Coding of the plug connections guarantees Head / Generator compatibility. 3 8 Free Adjustable Modeling Light
Modeling light adjustment in 1/10 f-stops ranging from 1/1 to 1/32. Pre-dimming additionally possible via
BIAS (-1f, -2f) by 1 or 2 f-stops. The modeling light can optionally be operated in PROP (proportional
to the chosen flash energy or free adjustment) mode. Also, the modeling light can be switched off or
operated in Flash Check" mode.
5 8 9 11 Monitoring of the Flash Sockets
Flash Current Monitoring. At each flash output socket flash release is supervised even when a few generators
with several flash heads are used. When ignition interruptions occur a failure indication will be released
at the corresponding output.
2 Actively illuminated display (Only EH PRO PLUS)
The active illumination offers best working comfort.
Even in total darkness easy to operate.
4 5 8 9 10 Plugmatic
A micro switch is integrated in each flash socket. It triggers each head only when flash sockets are plugged
correctly in. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 11 Modeling light full / prop / off The modeling light is independently
switchable. Its brightness can be set to adjust in proportion to flash power or to remain at the maximum setting regardless of flash
power. (The Porty only allows for switching the modeling light on/off directly or via timer control. Dimming is not possible.)
2 3 4 5 8 9 10 11 Flash Check
When a flash has been triggered, the modeling lamp goes off and lights up again after complete
2 Automatic energy-saving mode for the modeling light
recycling. Correct flashing and flash readiness are thus clearly signalized. Switchable (ON/OFF), with When the equipment is not in use, the modeling light is automatically dimmed (with a delay adjustable from
control LED. 5 to 90 min.). On waking up, the modeling light is automatically set to the previous value. The benefits are less
waste heat, longer lamp life and reduced power consumption.
