The Flashpoint R2 FV150 Hybrid merges LED continuous luminous flow and Flash light burst insta-peak technology. The COB LEB retains the traditional intensity of the LED module for unbroken delivery of high intensity 12,000 lux at 1 meter, while still delivering bursts of High Speed Sync flash illumination. The innovative Hybrid R2 wirelessly links to the entire R2 family of transmitters, accepting commands for flash intensity, in 16 groups and 32 channels. Even without any of the worldwide recognized Flashpoint R2 camera-based wireless transmitters, the included handheld remote control commands the LED module beast to perform at your whim. Amazing; a source for the lumen hungry videographer and a boon to photographers, commercial and still-life, without compromising precision visualization, in one hard to match 7.3-pound / 3.3-kilogram compact package. The color accuracy at 5600½K sustains greater than a CRI at 96Ra and scores a TLCI measurement that exceeds 95.
One source for all imaging requirements is a dream come true. Three Flash Modes: Single Flash, MultiFlash and HSS bring all the benefits of brilliance as a strobe’s frozen moment – up to the quickest shutter speeds a camera can fire – rivaling High Speed Sync with four times the output of the LED module. As the energy source is solid AC, the hybrid can deliver 10 consecutive flashes per second and 8 in HSS mode at 1/2 power setting. There is no difference between the perceived light of the LED and the flash image – they are one and the same! What you see is what you get! It is as though the sun has a place in your strobe.
While all of this sounds too good to be true, the flash takes predominance over the LED and imitates a legacy monolight, with complete variable modeling lamp to flash ratios and power settings from 1/8 to 1/1 – 7.0 to 10.0 – displayed as fractions or decimals. The COB LED has a brightness range of 0% to 100% as the main light and while it acts as a modeling source, 5% to 100%. The generous LCD infopanel display reports complete status of the light while staying on top of the action. Heat dissipation is so precisely designed to keep the intense beam active throughout the day without missing a beat.
All of the popular Bowens mount light shapers make the light perform to your specs and respects the investment you have made in Glow and other modifiers.
Beyond all of the typical video and still applications of the Hybrid R2 three Flash Modes comes the additional five special effect modes that will take the light to the next creative level. Imitate a lightning storm, the legacy TV flicker, or the death throes of a broken fixture, it’s all here.
So what are you waiting for? A flash that is a LED? A LED that’s a moonlight? No worry, this is a Flashpoint.
