• Consistent performance & broncolor precision: Output is precise and consistent – no unexpected fluctuations, just absolute repeat accuracy at every power level from 1 to 11. This reliability is essential for professional results, especially in series shooting and critical lighting setups.

V-mount battery powered

Stelos is powered by a universal V-mount battery system, giving photographers the flexibility to use batteries from broncolor or other leading brands. The device can also charge while in use via USB-C, compatible with standard laptop chargers or the included 140-watt adapter. 

This open battery system is particularly attractive to rental houses, where total cost of ownership is paramount, as it allows for efficient inventory management and compatibility across gear. Other users also benefit by reducing both operational costs and the environmental impact associated with proprietary lithium battery systems, thanks to the versatility and longevity of the universal V-mount platform.

With its robust bayonet mount, Stelos supports the full range of broncolor light modifiers, even the largest one such as the Para, ensuring maximum creativity and consistency across lighting setups.

Seamless integration

Stelos integrates seamlessly with existing workflows, supporting broncolor RFS 2 and 3 radio transmitters, the bronControl app (via built-in WiFi), and bronAPI for custom integration. For larger sets with multiple units, multicolour cognition lights make device identification fast and effortless.
