Nissin is on the verge of a new opzetflitser for dslr’s to introduce more than a thousand photos in rapid succession can be taken without the flash from overheating or the composition underexposed.
According to Nissin, the time of the MG8000 flash for the first two hundred photos to 3 seconds, while the flash is 5 to 7 seconds to load for each following picture, as we read in Amateur Photographer. The flash has a guide number of 40 to 60 at iso 100 and is compatible with the PS3000-powerpack of the company.
The heat that this burstrate yields is able to withstand, Nissin in the MG8000 use of a ceramic insulation on the inside of the light-emitting section and a new flash tube on the basis of quartz glass developed to withstand the self-produced heat. The freznel lens on the front is from the heat, protected by a glass plate behind it.
The Japanese flitserfabrikant claims that his new MG8000 flash competitors such as the Speedlight SB-910 Nikon Speedlite 580EX II Canon, what full-power-time is concerned, you have to leave behind. According to Nissin would this for long photo bursts not more their maximum guide number can get and scenes, underexpose to prevent overheating.
According to a test of photographer Rob Galbraith has the Speedlight SB-910 flash is a shortest time of 1.2 s when using NiZn batteries with a capacity of 2500mAh. How long the Nikon flash that can sustain it is, however, not known.
Nissin showed the MG8000 is already on the CP+fair in Yokohama, earlier this month, and the opzetflitser is probably yet this spring available, with a target price of about 470 euros.
