About Profoto ComPact 600R, 600Ws Monolight, #900942/502-304

Built-in radio sync versions to the popular ComPact series of flash generators. This line of generators, called ComPactR, matches the earlier 300, 600 and 1200 ws versions, but features also a built-in PocketWizard compatible radio sync, for wireless triggering.

Radio triggering is a technology that's grown more and more popular over the last years, since it eliminates all the problems that sometimes arise when using traditional sync cable, such as faulty connections or simply people tripping over the cable.

The ComPact 600 (600Ws) is a self contained unit ideal for portraits in minimum space, where generator and head cables can be obtrusive. Capable of being set from full to 1/16 power.

Building on the successful family of Profoto ComPacts, these models offer the same functionality and exceptional performance with the added benefit of having a PocketWizard receiver built-in. Working on the same principle of the AcuteR models, the ComPact R units have a simple learning mode where they remember the first signal they see during power-up.

The units hold this memory until they are "taught" a new channel and they are compatible with all 32 PocketWizard channels. They can be triggered at a range of over 300 feet using any PocketWizard transmitter.
