Q&A’s
Do I sacrifice any features by switching my CITI600 Pro into Stable-Colour Mode?
- Switching your flash to Stable-Colour mode for the 5600K±75K colour-consistency, allows you to only use your flash in Manual mode. You will also get slightly slower flash-durations and will lose the auto-dump feature.
Does this flash work with a battery or does it need to be plugged into the mains? Also, if it does work with a battery, what battery would be best?
Thank you
- This product isn't the flash unit itself, it is the remote head attachment which allows you to separate the head from the body of the CITI600 PRO Flash Unit, to make it easier to carry if being used as a hand-held flash. The light this is compatible with is our CITI600 PRO Flash, which is a 600Ws battery powered flash unit: https://www.essentialphoto.co.uk/product/pixapro-citi600-pro-ttl-battery-powered-flash/ The flash unit itself comes with a battery included, but if you would like to purchase this separately, it can be found on its own here: https://www.essentialphoto.co.uk/product/pixapro-citi600-pro-spare-battery/ If you would like to use this light with mains power, you would need to use the CITI600 PRO AC Adapter, which can be found here: https://www.essentialphoto.co.uk/product/citi600-pro-ac-power-adapter/
I am struggling to remove the connector from the head, do I need to return it?
- To remove the Remote Head's connector from the flash head, simply unlock the S-Type connector as you would do with any other modifier, and then ease the centre-part out to disconnect the pins.
It may be a little tight (especially when new) so you may have to exert a bit of force to remove it. Please see the video below for a demonstration.
