Offers all the benefits and features of the Gemini R units

The Bowens Gemini 500 Pro Head offers all the features and benefits of the Gemini R units, including the Travelpak Battery option and Pulsar/Pocket Wizard Trigger Card compatibility, with the additional benefits of faster flash durations up to 1/2900 sec, multi voltage operation, faster recycle times and fan cooling. For fashion and commercial photographers, particularly those wishing to shoot on location, the Bowens Gemini 500 Pro is the perfect choice. This kit includes two 500PRO heads, two stands, a 90cm silver/white umbrella, wide angle reflector, 60x80cm softbox, leads, cables, modelling lamps and case.

Main Features of the Bowens Gemini 500 Pro Head:

Compatible with Travelpak (optional accessory) 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.

Gemini Pro Advantages:

Fast Flash Duration
If you need to capture action, then the Pro range is for you. The three-electrode flash tube is the reason for the action freezing flash times on the Gemini Pro monolights - the fastest Bowens monolights ever! The flash tube is easily user replaceable too - so, no expensive service center fees if it needs replacing.

Travel Pack Compatibility and Multi-Voltage
The Travelpak battery unit means that Gemini Pro lights can ‘go anywhere’ out on location. But what about when you are in the studio in another country? With the Pro range, the Gemini becomes a true go anywhere system. Advanced circuitry within the unit is able to seek the correct voltage to run on meaning that you can take a Gemini Pro monolight anywhere in the world, safe in the knowledge that it will work wherever you go - inside or out.

Fast Recycle Times
In photography everyone knows that time is money. That is why the Gemini Pro range of monolights boasts recycling times to full power faster than ever before. Now you can spend less time waiting for your lights to power up and more time creating amazing images with your world-class lighting.
