Continue BOOST MODE More info (Opens in new tab)
Pods have a boost function that provides more power to connected Arms.

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.

If using multiple Flash Arms in the Pod 3.0, we recommend waiting 1 minute between
plugging in each Arm, to allow for sufficient charging.
