Building on the considerable success of the Esprit Gemini range the Bowens Gemini R range has added many additional and new features unavailable on the original Gemini monolight system. These include a new ‘patented’ twin-dial power control system that offers the accuracy of digital controls and precision adjustments, with the reliability and simplicity of analogue dials, an optional ‘plug-in’ radio trigger module facility, full Infra-Red remote control capabilities, 7-segment LED display and much more. The addition of the Travel Pak to the kit means the kit can be easily used on location as well as in the studio. The Gemini 500/500R Travel Pak Kit includes everything you need to get started, two 500R heads, two stands, a 60x80cm softbox, a 90cm white umbrella, a wide angle reflector, deluxe kit bag, power leads, sync cord, modelling lamps and travelpak.
Main Features of the Bowens Gemini 500/500R Twin Head Travel Pak Kit
Travelpak compatible for use on location.
Twin dial power control system allows adjustments in either full stops or 1/10th increments.
Infra red remote control, via the optional RC-3 remote, including the flash power, modelling lamp mode and output, ready indicators and photocell functions.
Optional plug-in radio trigger modules allowing wireless operation from either Bowens Pulsar or Pocket Wizard radio transmitters.
Smart Photocell allows the user to ignore pre-exposure flashes from on-camera flashes or other small portable units. The flash head can be programmed to trigger on the first, second, third or fourth pre-flash or to 'learn' the sequence for a particular unit.
Advanced modelling lamp control allows the usual full, proportional and off settings but also incorporates a 'soft-start' and 'lamp-saver' option to prolong the life of the bulb.
Auto-dump is a standard feature of the range and can either flash or resistive dump the power. The intelligent power management system monitors the use and calculates the optimum method.
The side and rear LED displays show either the set or the desired power level as well as additional information during user set-up. The display itself can be inverted for use on a ceiling track system.
Both audible and visual ready indicators are included with the former having the option to be switched off.
