Battery-powered 400Ws monolight with TTL, Manual and Multi flash modes. Built-in 2.4G Q wireless system and removable 2800mAh battery support location work and firmware upgrades via USB-C.
All-day location shooting - thanks to 21.6V/2800mAh removable battery
Removable 21.6V, 2800mAh lithium battery supports roughly 400 full-power flashes and slots into an easy-access compartment. A DC charging port allows mains power via the included adapter and a full charge takes about 3.5 hours.
Long shoots and back-to-back weddings are feasible without mains power, and spare batteries can be swapped for continuous operation. Fast recycling from 0.01 to 1.2 seconds helps capture bursts of action.
Reliable exposure control - with TTL, Manual and 1/8000s HSS capability
Three flash modes include TTL, Manual and Multi (stroboscopic), with flash exposure compensation, first/second curtain sync and 1/8000s High Speed Sync. Multi mode supports stroboscopic rates up to 199 Hz and custom functions via C.Fn.
Mixed ambient light and fast-moving subjects can be handled without constant manual meter adjustments, while stroboscopic mode enables creative freeze-frame effects. Flexible sync options suit both ambient-balanced portraits and daylight shooting.
Flexible lighting setups - with built-in 2.4G Q wireless and Bowens mount
Built-in 2.4G Q system pairs with the included QPRO-C trigger to control up to five groups, 32 channels and 01-99 IDs over a range up to 100m. A Bowens mount accepts softboxes, beauty dishes and other modifiers; a standard reflector is included.
Create multi-light setups quickly and adjust groups remotely for consistent, repeatable results. Wide modifier compatibility makes switching between soft and hard light straightforward on shoots.
