Xenon Flash Arms are used in combination with the Flash Trigger.
Flash Arms have built in memory, to save your last used Flash settings between sessions.
You will feel a magnetic pull, rotate the arm until it clicks into place.
The green light on the flash head will illuminate once connected.
Sequential Red lights will illuminate as the Flash Arm charges, this may take up to a minute on first charge.
Flash Arms require boost mode to be activated at all times.
Activate boost mode by pressing both buttons once (Pod Mini), or holding the dial (Pod 3.0).
We also recommend turning the power of the Port to 100% for optimum re-charge times.

Level 1 is the fastest Flash, but less power. Level 5 is the slowest flash, but most power.
Fast flash speeds freeze motion more effectively, use less battery and recycle faster.
Slow flash speeds use more power but are brighter.
The Flash Power level can be selected by using the Control Button underneath the Flash or
wirelessly via the App (iOS only).
The Control button is also used after disconnecting a Flash Lighting Arm from the Control Pod, hold the discharge button for 5-7 seconds to discharge any remaining power.
This is important to prolong the life of the product.
Boost mode is automatically activated when selecting the Flash Symbol for a port.
Select a connected Flash Arm and then select a power level. The Flash Arm will load for a moment before selecting the desired Flash Level.
