The Xenon Flash Starter Pack includes everything you need to master Xenon Flash for Macro Photography. This pack is ideal for shooting subjects that move or require powerful lighting, such as splash art, insects and smoke.

Use fast bursts of powerful light to freeze fast-moving subjects with ease. The ultra small and flexible Lighting Arms are able to get light into hard-to-reach spaces, perfect for lighting macro subjects.

Switch between 5 different flash levels either manually using control button, or wirelessly via the Adaptalux App, available on both iOS & Android.

Mount the Control Pod to your camera using the Flash Trigger. Alternatively, attach the Control Pod to a separate mount to move the Xenon Flash heads around the subject for more dramatic macro lighting.

Use the included sets of gels to quickly change the colour of light. Gels can be used in addition to pro-hoods to add extra diffusion as well as coloured effects.

What is the Xenon Flash Starter Pack best for?

It is designed for macro subjects that move or require very short flash durations, including insects, splash photography and smoke. It achieves the power capabilities of a twin macro flash system, but with the added flexibility of off-camera use and flexible light positioning.

Why use Xenon Flash instead of continuous LED lighting?

Can the flash arms be positioned away from the camera?

Can I change the colour of the flash?

Is the Adaptalux System compatible with my camera model?

Can I mount the Pod to my tripod and camera hotshoe?

Do you supply the power adapter for my country?

Flexibility and diversity

Although I haven't had the chance to use the system yet, I have conducted several dry run mock-ups in preparation for getting out this weekend. I primarily purchased the system for outdoor macro photography and I am sure it will more than fulfil my requirements.
