PIXAPRO CITI600 Manual Outdoor Flash Kit with LI-ION580 II Speedlite & 300cm Retractable Stands

The PIXAPRO CITI600 Manual Outdoor flash kit with LI-ION580 speedlite has been put together to make shooting outdoors easier and more versatile with your equipment. As the CITI600 manual features HSS this helps to prevent the inconsistency that comes with natural light, making ideal for using outdoors. With 600Ws of power you are sure not to be left without enough power and including the two speedlites you have everything you need for almost any situation. Thanks to the revolutionary LI-ION rechargeable batteries you can get around 500 full powered flashes from these lights with virtually no drop off in power, giving consistent accurate results. This also includes the sturdy retractable stands which make picking up and moving your lighting a breeze. This is the ideal kit for any Photographers that would like to shoot outdoors or on location, thanks to the versatility and compact size this is made much easier to do thanks to the Outdoor Flash kit.

The powerful 600Ws CITI600 flash with a guide number of 87m has a 11.1V / 8700mAh rechargeable Lithium-ion battery pack giving approximately 500 full-powered shots per charge, perfect to keep you going throughout the shoot without the need for mains power. Since the CITI 600 utilises Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) technology, it is capable producing short flash durations of between 1/220 second to 1/10,000 second for sharper images whilst maintaining colour accuracy throughout its power range which opens up a whole world of possibilities.

With an automatic temperature-controlled ventilation system to ensure it is safe and protected when shooting frequently, this means that the cooling fan will kick in to protect the flash when running at high temperatures.

The CITI600 has a 600Ws flash tube that has an 9-stop power range (1/1 – 1/256 power) in 1/3rd stop power increments with super short recycling times between 0.01 and 2.5 seconds and 16 controllable groups and 32 different channels to provide maximum flexibility and control with your flash. It also includes a 10W LED modelling lamp which is equivalent to approximately 100W tungsten but runs much cooler for longer usage time.

The CITI 600’s user-friendly interface, with large Dot-Matrix LCD screen, enables you to quickly and easily change your flash settings with the use of large, easy to access buttons and a control dial. It features a variety of different flash modes including a High-Speed Sync mode (up to 1/8000 sec) to help overpower the sun, and a multi-flash mode, which can be set to between 2 and 100 flashes at a frequency between 1 and 100Hz (flashes per second), which allows you to create many different effects such as stroboscopic photography. It also features an intelligent slave cell (Pre-flash detector system) cell that can be set to ignore a Pre-Flash, which enables the use of the CITI600 alongside speedlights or any other TTL strobe

The CITi600 manual features a built-in 2.4GHz flash receiver, which allows it to be used in conjunction with the PIXAPRO 2.4GHz flash Triggers. This allows you to control your flash heads remotely such as flash power settings, Modelling lamp on/off, changing groups & channels and Triggering. It’s part of The ONE System, which you can mix and match any PIXAPRO range flash. The universal flash is compatible with popular camera brands from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Fuji, Pentax with full control and even high-end cameras from Hasselblad, Leica and PhaseOne with basic control.

It uses an S-Type accessory mount, making it compatible with a wide range of accessories and modifiers. This compact and lightweight flash is perfect for people who shoot weddings, portraits, events, fashion, sports and advertising. It is especially good for shooting on location due to the flash being easily portable.

Also included in this kit is our Li-ION580II Manual, which is our battery powered speedlite that is wonderful for portability and allow for both on and off camera lighting. The included MagMod Basic Kit helps to add some creativity to your shoot with the creative gels and honeycomb grid allowing for multiple effects. The 2x 300cm Air Cushioned retractable stands are more than capable of holding the weight of this equipment, and features an air cushioned safety design to protect your equipment from collapsing and causing unwanted damage to your equipment.
