Using the Honey Badger
Powering Up the Honey Badger
Insert the included 13’ power cable into the back of the unit and place the plug into a 110V/ 60Hz (220V/50Hz)
grounded power outlet. Activate power with the ON/OFF switch on the back control panel of the flash head.
WARNING: If the light displays a “P1” error code on the screen, the light is overheating and must be turned off
for at least 15 minutes to allow the internal components to cool down.
Using the Test Function
The “TEST” button will illuminate blue when the flash is charged and ready for use. The blue indicator light will
turn off immediately after the flash has fired, and turn on again once the light has fully recycled. Recycle is also
indicated by an audible beep when the “BEEP” function is enabled.
Adjusting the Power
Your Honey Badger is packed with 320Ws of power. This power is adjustable over a 7-stop range and can be
adjusted in 1/10th of a stop intervals. Use the + and - buttons on the back of your Honey Badger to adjust the
power from 10.0 (full power) to 4.0 (lowest power). Power is displayed on the LCD screen.
Turn off the Flash Function
To take advantage of your modeling lamp function without triggering the flash, press the “FLASH” button. This
will turn on and off the flash function of the light, but keep the modeling lamp function available. This function is
ideal when using the LED modeling lamp of one Honey Badger to light your subject, and mixing it with the flash
of another Honey Badger.
Using the Modeling Lamp
To use the 60W LED modeling lamp, press the “MODEL” button on the back interface of the Honey Badger to
toggle through two different modeling lamp modes or turn it off.
• Proportional Mode
- Toggle the modeling lamp mode to “PROP”. When used in proportional mode, the
intensity of the modeling lamp will increase and decrease according to the flash power. This is useful when
creating lighting ratios with multiple lights. Use the + and - buttons to adjust the modeling lamp brightness
even when flash is turned off.
• Full Mode
- Toggle the modeling lamp mode to “FULL”. This will turn the modeling lamp on to full power.
Setting Channels
Having 15 unique radio control channels allows you to use your lights in close proximity with another
photographer without interfering with one another. Press the “CHANNEL” button to toggle through the 15
available isolated control channels. Make sure the channel selected on your Honey Badger matches the selected
channel on your Interfit remote.
NOTE:
Setting the control channel is only necessary when using Interfit remotes
. If you are using a third-party
radio or optical slave, you can skip this. When using an Interfit TTL remote, only channels 1-8 are available.
