Bowens Gemini flash system now includes two new models with built-in Pulsar radio. The Gemini Rx range is as compact and lightweight as the standard Gemini flash heads but now includes a built-in Pulsar radio receiver controlled via a simple, single push button.
The Pulsar radio allows full control over 24 different radio zones, using four channels and six studio settings, enabling photographers to isolate various light sources or combining them and firing them all at once, without leaving your camera. The inclusion of the integrated Pulsar radio receiver coupled with the versatility of featuring both mains and battery power operation makes the Gemini Rx one of the most resourceful monolight systems available today.
Typical two head kits include two Gemini monolights with two Bowens lighting support stands. To control the light Bowens include a silver/white umbrella, together with a wide-angle umbrella reflectors. The kit now also includes a Pulsar Tx Radio Trigger and a Pulsar Rx Radio Receiver Card for syncing your camera wirelessly with your lights.
In Bowens's experience, this creates a very easy-to-use and effective two-light setup. The umbrellas are perfect for portraiture and many still-life applications - the black cover can be removed allowing you to fire the light through the umbrella like a softbox. The kits include a sync lead for camera connection and all the power cables, modeling lamps and flash tubes. Everything is then packed into a single lightweight yet sturdy carrying case for easy transportation.
