Frequently Asked Questions
About Move 1200 L
Which radio remote controls can broncolor Move be controlled with?
- broncolor RFS 2.1 system:
- RFS 2.1 Transceiver (Transmitter kit) | item number 36.133.00
- broncolor RFS 2.2 system:
- RFS 2.2 C Transmitter (Canon) | item number 36.160.00
- RFS 2.2 F Transmitter (Fujifilm) | item number 36.163.00
- RFS 2.2 N Transmitter (Nikon) | item number 36.161.00
- RFS 2.2 S Transmitter (Sony) | item number 36.162.00
What type of battery does broncolor Move come with?
It comes with a 87.1 Wh / 14.4 V / 6.6 AH Li-FePo4 battery with integrated battery status (item number: 36.152.00).
Does the Move power pack feature the broncolor HS function?
All Move power packs support the broncolor HS function if they have the software version 48.07 or later. Move software updates must be done by an authorised broncolor Service Centre. While working in HS mode you are only able to use flash power level 6 to 10. Further, please note that broncolor HS for Move is optimized for the use with one lamp. If HS is activated only lamp channel 1 is active.
In addition, the broncolor RFS 2.2 transmitter is needed, which is available for Canon, Fuji, Nikon and Sony cameras.
Does the Move power pack feature WiFi?
No, it does not.
Can the Move power pack be controlled via bronControl App?
No, it cannot.
Can all current broncolor lamps be used with all broncolor power packs?
Yes, with the following restriction:
Move 1200 L does not offer the modelling light function in combination with
- Pulso G
- Pulso Twin
- Unilite
- Picolite
- Ringflash C
- Striplite
- Boxlite
- Litestick (does not provide modelling light in general)
MobiLED does offer modelling light with Move 1200 L.
Is colour consistency maintained when using HS?
Activating the broncolor HS function has a small influence on colour temperature.
However, other light sources such as daylight or ambient light usually have a stronger impact on colour temperature.
Hence, the broncolor HS function’s influence on colour temperature is alleviated in sunny conditions.
HS is meant to be used in a bright outdoor environment.
How does HS compare to short flash duration?
Without HS, the minimal flash duration cannot be shorter than the fastest shutter speed of the camera (X-sync).
The broncolor HS function provides a way to circumvent the restriction imposed by the X-Sync time:
1) The flash fires before even one pixel of the image sensor has been uncovered
2) The first shutter curtain starts to open.
3) The second shutter curtain starts to close (think of it as a scanning procedure).
The flash continues to burn (like a continuous light) and only stops when the scanning procedure is complete. For this reason we need the longest possible flash duration. The result is a great feature; now you can use a large aperture to provide an out-of-focus background, or simply freeze super-fast motions.
Is the full power range of the flash available in HS, or am I limited to certain power levels when using HS?
While working in HS mode you are only able to use flash power level 4 to 10 with Siros L.
While working in HS mode you are only able to use flash power level 6 to 10 with Move 1200L.
Will using HS impact the battery life (does it use more power?)
In general – under the same lighting conditions (i.e. ambient light) – the broncolor HS function does not impact battery life.
If I have a camera not supported by HS (Fuji, Leica, Phase One / Mamiya) is there any risk of damage to the camera using an RFS2.2 transmitter, should I use an RFS2.1 transmitter?
RFS 2.2 is available in three versions, for Canon, Nikon and Sony, always optimized for its operation.
The use with other camera systems is not recommended.
The RFS 2.1 transmitter is a more universal device, hence able to work with many camera makes other than Canon, Nikon or Sony.
Please note that with the RFS 2.1 the broncolor HS function is not supported.
What about brightness gradation when using the broncolor HS function?
Under studio (“interior”) conditions, a certain degree of brightness gradation (from top to bottom) may occur. This effect varies depending on the camera model.
Outdoors in bright sunlight – the ideal environment for the broncolor HS function – the mentioned brightness gradation is neglectable.

Move 1200 L
Key Features
-
Compact power
It is capable of illuminating your largest sets and achieves outstanding results when attempting to overpower the sun.
-
Battery endurance
From a single battery charge, you get at least 170 flashes at full power. For every f-stop of power reduction, the number of flashes that you get doubles!
-
Impressive speed
Move recycles to full power in less than two seconds. A flash can be as short as 1/8500 s (t 0.1). Recharging an empty battery takes you only 90 minutes. The "HS" mode on the Move allows you to shoot with extremely short shutter speeds (flash power level 6 to 10).
-
Intuitive
The power adjustment of the two independent channels is very intuitive - just as the rest of the wide range of functions.
-
Outstanding light quality
broncolor's patented ECTC* technology, which adapts flash voltage and flash duration to each other, ensures a constant colour temperature over the entire variation range and from flash to flash.
*Enhanced Colour Temperature Control
