the unit is charging, no flash at this moment. When the unit is ready to

power from 1/8 to full. It can meet customers’ requirements for light in
different environments. (Note: When adjusting the power from full power

capacitor, so when recharged, the flash output will be in the
corresponding setting.)

To fire the flash without taking a picture, push the test button. It will also
adjust the brightness when combined with the flash output controller (7).
● Sync Triggering
The sync cord jack (2) is a Φ3.5 mm mini plug. When working with sync
cord triggering method, insert one end of sync cord or a trigger plug into
it; the flash then can be fired synchronously.

can act as an auxiliary lamp, offering various light effects.

light stand. Adjust the mounting bracket
