The Esprit Gemini Digital is great studio monolight, but what about if you need to work out on location?

Thanks to Bowens handy battery packs, your Bowens Esprit Gemini Digital
units can leave the studio to go on location anytime, anywhere.

Included in Bowens range of battery packs are the Travel-Pak and the larger
Travel-Pak+.  With a fast / slow charge option to prolong the life of the battery
as well as a stylish carry bag offering protection from the elements and up to
3 inches of water; no location photographer should be without these handy
packs.

Additional Information

Notes: Setting ʻFldʼ to ʻonʼ will automatically flash the unit to dump any excess energy if the user reduces
the power output setting and makes no further adjustments within 2 seconds.

The modelling lamp has a micro controlled soft ʻonʼ and ʻoffʼ to prolong the life of the bulb.

The ʻkey clickʼ & ʻwarning sounderʼ can be turned ʻonʼ or ʻoffʼ independently of the ʻreadyʼ sounder. This
option is available within the Advanced Functions.

Flashtube Replacement

Ensure that the unit is switched off and disconnect from
the mains supply and then wait thirty minutes before
touching/removing the flashtube. 

Remove the protective cap and unwind the twisted wire
from the flashtube support. 

Gently pull the flashtube assembly out of the unit.

To replace the assembly, hold the flashtube as shown
and taking care to support both legs gently but firmly
push the flashtube into position. Next wind the trigger
wire around the flashtube support. Always replace with
the correct flashtube assembly.

With the Esprit Gemini Digital monolights you are free from mains power.
With the Pulsar Radio Trigger system you can be free from sync cables
too.

This multifunctional device can be used to trigger flash units, film and
digital cameras and light meters up to 100m away. 

Because the Pulsar is a radio transmitter  rather than IR, it allows for
triggering around corners or through walls and is not affected by high
ambient light situations. Choose from four individual channels and six
studio setting per channel, each providing a unique ID for different flash
devices or combine them to trigger all equipment within a given setup or
studio.

Because of its low-voltage operation, it is perfect for digital cameras. Each unit can be used as either a
transmitter or receiver and operates using only two AAA batteries.
