Canon Speedlite EL-1 (Version 2) | High-Power Flash with Fast Recycling, Precise TTL Control & Advanced Wireless Functions | For Portraits, Weddings & Events (7288C002) + 64GB Memory Card + Camera Bag

The Canon Speedlite EL-1 Version 2 is a flagship on-camera flash built for photographers who demand maximum power, reliability, and creative versatility. Featuring a xenon flashtube, the EL-1 delivers highly stable exposure performance along with an impressive guide number of 190.3′ at ISO 100, while its extensive output range from full 1/1 power down to an ultra-low 1/8192 enables fine-tuned control for everything from dramatic key lighting to subtle fill. Powered by the LP-EL lithium-ion battery, it achieves approximately 340 full-power flashes per charge and boasts rapid 0.9-second recycling, further supported by improved thermal management and an active cooling system that maintains performance during long sessions. Integrated RT radio triggering allows the EL-1 to act as both sender and receiver, commanding up to 15 additional Speedlites for multi-light setups, and second-curtain sync expands creative options for motion-emphasizing exposures. The rugged, weather-resistant build matches the durability of EOS-1D-series bodies, while an updated interface with an enhanced joystick and clearer display promotes fast, intuitive operation. A tunable LED modeling lamp assists with precise previsualization, and the fully rotating 180° flash head with built-in wide panel ensures flexible coverage. Supporting E-TTL and E-TTL II metering, the EL-1 Version 2 offers professional-grade lighting control for advanced portrait, event, and commercial photographers.
