Providing a 800Ws output in a compact design, the Broncolor Siros 800 S Monolight with WiFi/RFS 2.1from Broncolor Siros 800 S Monolight with WiFi/RFS 2.1is a reliable studio flash unit with Wi-Fi connectivity and a built-in RFS 2.1 receiver for wireless control and triggering. It has a 9-stop power range which is adjustable in 1/10 or full stop increments for great control over light output. The Siros S is also quite fast with a flash duration from 1/8000 - 1/500second and a recycle time of 0.04 - 2.9 seconds depending on power settings. Additionally, the monolight has a halogen modeling light.

Built into the Siros S is a specialized Speed Mode that speeds up the charging time and flash duration to provide a fast sequence of exposures, up to 50 per second at the fastest setting. Also, the unit has a USB connection for software updates and is fan cooled for temperature control. An integrated reflector and mount are included for adding modifiers to the light.

When the Siros is connected to a Wi-Fi network, each light can be identified by a different-color LED and can be easily controlled using the bronControl app for smartphones and tablets

With the integrated Broncolor RFS 2.1 receiver, users can use the RFS 2.1 transmitter for remote control from the camera

Cut-off technology uses a microprocessor to calculate the flash duration to an output, enabling sequences with up to 50 flashes per second

Enhanced Color Temperature Control technology adapts flash voltage and duration in order to achieve a constant color temperature over the entire variation range

Individual power distribution means the unit has controllers for each lamp in order to have greater control over the flash power range

Speed mode reduces flash duration and charging time while reducing the maximum power in order to achieve a series of rapid exposures without overheating

Single rotary control for flash power output setting, a slight turn provides 1/10 stops while a "Twist" function allows for whole stops

Q: 1. Hello all, Does any one know what is needed to achieve successful HSS shooting using a Pentax 645Z with this monolight? Aside from swapping in a longer burning bulb, are there any other required firmware/hardware considerations? Anyone having real world on-location experience using hss this light, please tell what you know.I looked at the Profoto B1 option (lower power; no hss provision for Pentax 645), but prefer the Bron., even if I have to bring my own power on location. Thanks everyone in advance!

A: At this time there is no system that allows the Pentax 645Z work in HSS.

Q: 2. Does this product comes with a RFFS 2.1 trigger?

A: An RFS2.1 transmitter is not included so that you may purchase separately either the 2.1, or an RFS2.2 transmitter, available for Canon, NIkon, Fuji, or Sony cameras, should you desire HS flash Siros 800S.

Q: 3. Would I need to change the modeling light in case of 230VAC/60Hz use?

A: If using the original modeling lamp (part number B-24.260.00) the modeling lamp does not need to be changed when using 230V AC. If a third-party lamp has been substituted, we recommend changing to the broncolor lamp before using higher voltages.

Q: 4. Siros L does work, I know it. Does Siros S also work with the new Broncolor RFS 2.2 Transceiver, so that you can use HS?

A: Siros 800S and 800 WiFi / RFS2 (non-S) offer HS functionality with firmware version 08 or later.The current version can be checked by holding down the silver dial/button and powering on the flash. The number that shows briefly is the firmware version.Firmware updates for Siros are available for Mac or PC from bron.ch/sirosfirmwareupdate, and only require a standard Micro USB cable.

Q: 5. Hi, Does anyone know what standard reflector ships with the Siros monoblocs? is it the L40?

A: This monolight would ship with an integrated reflector and the L40 reflector is sold separately. The item code for that reflector is BRRL40. Please see the image for that below:

Q: 6. What is the umbrella shaft diameter; 7mm or 8mm?

A: The Broncolor Siros 800 S WiFi/RFS 2.1 Monolight BH #BRS800SWFRF uses the standard 8mm umbrella shaft size.

Q: 7. can you synchronize with other transmitters to make it work together with other flashes?

A: To sync with other transmitter systems, Siros 800S features a standard 3.5mm sync input on the bottom of the unit. Using the appropriate receiver unit and adapter cable, this would allow for the Siros to work with other systems.

Q: 8. Can you tell me what's HS Flash Tube . I read over the specs and I saw this light goes in HSS only with this HS Flash Tube . Can you tell me if this Flash Tube comes with the Monolight or I have to buy it separately?? If yes can you send to me a link with this HS Flash Tube

A: Unfortunately, the HS flashtube originally offered for the Siros system is no longer in production.

Q: 9. Can I use the Siros Lithium batteries on these lights or do those batteries only work for siros l?

A: The Siros 800S is mains / wall power only, the Siros L rechargeable lithium ion batteries are only compatible with the Siros L monolights.

Q: 10. According to the Specs, this monolight's power ranges from 4 to 800 Ws. I would like to buy the 2-light kit for use in a small home studio (600 sq ft) for product photography. I would like powerful lights that can be dialed down to low light output when needed. Can this powerful monolight also be used for low light photography? Thanks in advance.

A: While the power range could work for shooting products, it all depends on the size of your space and the type of products you will be shooting. One thing to keep in mind is that any modifiers used over the monolights can further reduce the output.
