The Controls
Get unwired with the Gemini Classic, Bowens
mid-range lighting, for even more freedom.
The Gemini Classic 500C features the ability
to easily integrate with the Bowens Pulsar
radio trigger system by simply plugging in a
small radio trigger card.
This ‘Classic’ unit benefits from a fine degree
of modelling control via the separate ‘lamp’
dial. Simply set the 250W modelling lamp to
any level you require to indicate light and
shadow behaviour at various levels of power
or use the ‘100%’, ‘proportional’ and ‘off’
options.
The Gemini Classic is able to be powered
from mains AC power or the optional
Travelpak battery system delivering up to 600
flashes per charge out on location (see
battery performance table on page 19).
The classic Bowens monolight is so simple to
use it’s easy to see why it is the favoured
lighting in photographic schools and colleges
world-wide.
