Building on the considerable success of the Esprit Gemini range the Bowens Gemini R range has added many additional and new features unavailable on the original Gemini monolight system. These include a new ‘patented’ twin-dial power control system that offers the
accuracy of digital controls and precision adjustments, with the reliability and simplicity of analogue dials, an optional ‘plug-in’ radio trigger module facility, full Infra-Red remote control capabilities, 7-segment LED display and much more. The Gemini 500/500R twin head kit includes everything you need to get started in the studio, two 500R heads, two stands, a 60x80cm softbox, a 90cm white umbrella, a wide angle reflector, Traveller Studio Case, power leads, sync cord and modelling lamps.

Main Features of the Bowens Gemini 500/500R Twin Head Kit
- Compatible with Travelpak (optional accessory) for use on location.
- Twin dial power control system allows adjustments in either full stops or 1/10th increments.
- 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 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 diplay 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 85 (m/100 ISO)
- Colour Temperature 5600K (+/-300K)
