The unit I am talking about is this:
Bacht SSP80 (spotlights section)
http://www.bacht.net/english/index.html1 To answer some of the responses above. The flash duration is controlled by the pack, not the head. We have been using the SSP80 with the Broncolor Verso and Scoro which both require the heavy duty tube. There has been no limitation to flash duration, recycle or rapid continuous use.
2 The tube will actually cope with 3200 but only for a short time before it will cut out due to thermal overload / overload. Therefore it is nominally rated at 2000w/s to preserve the life of the tube.
3 Light distribution: while there is a limitation to the physical spread you can achieve with the Dedo attachment, we have had many users shoot full length fashion with it. The unit maybe small, but due to it's architecture it is very efficient.
4 Uses: this would have to be one of the most versatile flash heads on the market. We have more people shooting non-still life applications with this unit which has been surprising. If you need to fake sunlight in a set in studio or location / fashion-portraiture / using like a continuous light fresnel & shooting through diff frame / can be used with Chimera / and is compatible with the Dedo attachments.
nb: points #1 & 2 are backed up by advice from Bacht, but I want to be sure we are all discussing the same unit, as my experience sounds different to some other posters. I have no immediate examples I can show you but I would recommend you hire one and try it out, or see a Bacht agent.
