Compact flash Elinchrom ONE Black Universal Battery Powered

The Elinchrom ONE is a compact, battery-powered off-camera flash designed for travel and location photography. Weighing about 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs) and similar in size to a 70–200 mm lens, it combines 131 Ws of capacity with a removable tilt head, an integrated Li‑ion battery, USB‑C active charging, TTL and HSS compatibility, and a touchscreen interface in a low-profile housing.

Advantages

The ONE delivers high-efficiency light output from a 131 Ws unit, offering light quality derived from an unconcealed flash tube for broad, even spread. Its sealed Li‑ion battery allows up to 725 full-power flashes per charge and adds protection against the elements. USB‑C Active Charging permits charging from any compatible power source while continuing to shoot. The unit accepts the Elinchrom OCF modifier mount and is also natively compatible with many Profoto light shapers, increasing modifier options. The detachable tilt head and compact form factor improve ergonomics for handheld or travel use.

Suitable for

• Location and travel photography
• Portraits and on‑location portrait sessions
• Outdoor editorial and documentary shoots
• Studio work when a compact, portable flash is required

Use TTL or HSS modes as needed and navigate settings via the touchscreen and quick menu for fast adjustments on location.

Recommendations

For extended outdoor shoots, carry a USB‑C power bank to maintain Active Charging capability. Use the Diffusion Dome for softer, even light and the HP Reflector when greater throw and tighter beam control are required.
