Photo Flash

[PETER KREKLOW]

I need a reliable way capture photo flashes while using an Alexa. Electronic flashes are to short to capture and single use flash bulbs which have a long burn rate are impractical.

Looking for a electronic flash with a long duration 30th of a second or so?

This is for a practical purpose. Not through electronically syncing the flash to the shutter or making it in post.

Any Ideas?
