Great Location Monolight

I have used these Baja B4's on two jobs thus far. I have a few gripes as well as great praise. These monolights are fantastic for location work. I did notice that Dynalight made these to be indoor monolights. (made me disappointed) as I like to do outdoor location work. But the batteries are Li-Ion which, I believe are not heat friendly. Hence the "indoor" recommendation. The radio receivers that come with them are very good. I did have to buy the Dynalite BRT-616 transceiver to use this ecosystem. These monolights fit vertically with a little more padding in the Adorama Flashpoint CS600 case. Plenty of space in the center for accessories. The modeling lamp is severely anemic. I do not believe they are using Cree LED's for this (very bright LED's) so you will need an external LED light for your set. My main gripes are: 1.) Weak LED modeling lamp. 2.) No Hotshoe on top handle for 3rd party radio receivers or external LED for modeling light. 3.) Umbrella post insert is not thru and thru. It stops at a certain point...not good with 72" Parabolic Umbrella's.

Lose the power cord not the charger!

I have been looking at a number of battery powered strobes that I can use on location. The Dynalite Baja B4 more than fills the need. With wireless options and the Bowens mount I have many options for modifiers. The self contained battery unit makes this unit easy to carry, setup and use.

The Dynalite Baja B4 Battery-Powered Monolight is packed with unexpected features and performance in a battery powered wireless controlled strobe. Inspired by years of working side-by-side with on-location shooters demanding a better portable flash solution, the Baja B4 delivers more than expected. At first glance, the Baja B4's well laid out control panel clearly gets your attention. From the big LED screen, logically placed buttons and dual function control knobs it's easy to jump in and start shooting. Light output is easily increased or decreased in 1/10th stop increments with the micro-controller dual-function power dial. A power indicator display just below the main LCD screen gives up to the shot details on the rechargeable Li-ion battery's status, so you never miss a shot. In addition, a similar power dial for the modeling light provides light level control of the LED modeling light.

On-location or in the studio, the Baja B4 sports a impressive 550 full manual flashes on one fully charged battery. With a quick battery change (optional extra battery), you can be back in the action in seconds, while the other battery charges in less than 5 hours. Pumping out an impressive flash duration of 1/500 to 1/12,800th of a second, the Baja B4 can stop action meeting the demands of most fashion and sports shoots. With a 6 ?-stop aperture range in 1/10th step increments, the Baja B4 accommodates the sophistication of critical exposure control with repeatable light output and color temperature consistence.

Sophisticated features such as the fast flash duration mode (T-Mode), provides a quick and repeatable way to select the correct flash duration for high speed flash photography. In stroboscopic mode (C-Mode), it's possible to select 5, 10 or 15 flashes per second to capture multiple movements of a subject with the flash output power of the Baja B4. Other features such as built-in optical slave, audible flash indicators, Pyrex glass dome and metal light stand swivel mount round out the features.

In addition, the Baja B4 includes a 2.4Ghz power control wireless triggering system. The receiver with status indicators, mini-channel display plugs directly into the control panel of the Baja B4, while the hot shoe transmitter with full power control buttons and dials mounts directly on the camera. Up to six separate groups of flash units can be controlled with 16 selectable channels per group. Selecting which flash unit fires and at what power level is fully controlled at the camera position up to 590 feet away at 1/250th of a second shutter synch.
