QUICK-RELEASE LEVER and HOLDING FINGERS

The LINK faceplate utilizes a Balcar mount that has four holding fingers, controlled by the quick-release 
levers. These holding fingers expand and retract to hold various reflectors as well as speedrings for softbox 
attachment. The LINK is compatible with all Paul C. Buff, Inc. modifiers.

UMBRELLA CHANNEL

Located above the faceplate, the umbrella channel is outfitted with internal tension clips to hold an 
umbrella or PLM in place without any slipping or drooping. The umbrella channel can fit up to a 9mm rod.

MAGNETIC ATTACHMENT

New to the Paul C. Buff, Inc. line of flash units is a magnetic attachment connection for diffusion (included 
with the unit), creative color, and color correcting silicone domes (both sold separately).

AC INPUT 

The AC input is located at the bottom of the unit. The LINK flash 
unit offers global plug-and-play with automatic power switching that 
allows the unit to operate on power lines from 95 to 265 VAC, 50 or 
60 Hz, automatically sensing the voltage / frequency and adjusting 
accordingly with no user attention required. For use in North America, 
the unit arrives with a 15-foot power cord that has a standard IEC 
connector on one end and a grounded, three-pronged male plug 
on the other. This power cord connects to the flash unit on its back 
control panel and is then plugged into a suitable 120 Vac, 50-60 Hz 
grounded power outlet.

BATTERY 

The LINK can be powered using a proprietary battery. For more information see page 9.
