Bowens Gemini 1000 Pro Head Further Details

  • Bowens Gemini Pro 1000 & 1500 Review

Gemini 1000 Pro main features

  • Compatible with Travelpak (optional accessory) for use on location.
  • Twin dial power control system allows adjustments in either full stops or 1/10th increments across 7 full stops.
  • Infra red remote control, via the optional RC-3 remote, including the flash power, modelling lamp mode and output, ready indicators and photocell functions.
  • Optional plug-in radio trigger module allowing wireless operation from the Bowens Pulsar radio transmitters.
  • Smart Photocell allows the user to ignore pre-exposure flashes from on-camera flashes or other small portable units. The flash head can be programmed to trigger on the first, second, third or fourth pre-flash or to 'learn' the sequence for a particular unit.
  • Advanced modelling lamp control allows the usual full, proportional and off settings but also incorporates a 'soft-start' and 'lamp-saver' option to prolong the life of the 500w bulb.
  • Auto-dump is a standard feature of the range and can either flash or resistive dump the power. The intelligent power management system monitors the use and calculates the optimum method.
  • The side and rear LED displays show either the set or the desired power level as well as additional information during user set-up. The display itself can be inverted for use on a ceiling track system.
  • Both audible and visual ready indicators are included with the former having the option to be switched off.
  • Guide No 120 (m/100 ISO)
  • Colour Temperature 5600K (+/-300K)
  • Fast Recycle Time 2.0 Secs
  • Fast Flash Duration 1/2100 Sec
  • Multi Voltage Operation
  • Fan Cooling
  • Gemini Pro Advantages:

    Fast Flash Duration
    If you need to capture action, then the Pro range is for you. The three-electrode flash tube is the reason for the action freezing flash times on the Gemini Pro monolights - the fastest Bowens monolights ever! The flash tube is easily user replaceable too - so, no expensive service center fees if it needs replacing.

    Travel Pack Compatibility and Multi-Voltage
    The Travelpak battery unit means that Gemini Pro lights can ‘go anywhere’ out on location. But what about when you are in the studio in another country? With the Pro range, the Gemini becomes a true go anywhere system. Advanced circuitry within the unit is able to seek the correct voltage to run on meaning that you can take a Gemini Pro monolight anywhere in the world, safe in the knowledge that it will work wherever you go - inside or out.

    Fast Recycle Times
    In photography everyone knows that time is money. That is why the Gemini Pro range of monolights boasts recycling times to full power faster than ever before. Now you can spend less time waiting for your lights to power up and more time creating amazing images with your world-class lighting.
