Impact VC-500WLN-II Overview
Full-Featured Strobe Monolight with Compact Design
The VC-500WLN-II 500Ws Digital Monolight from Impact provides versatile lighting solutions for studio and location shoots. Its lightning fast 1.5-second recycle rate at full power makes it possible to capture action in real time without waiting for long recycle rates. The flash's optical slave mode makes it possible to customize strobe operation and compatibility by programming up to five preflash signals. The integrated Bowens S-mount allows light modifiers like softboxes, beauty dishes, and snoots to shape and sculpt the output.
- Flash duration up to 1/1200 second to freeze action when shooting fast-moving subjects in sports, nature, or fashion
- Large, bright, easy-to-read LCD display to display all flash and modeling light functions that can be clearly read in bright lighting conditions or daylight
- Intuitive touch pad controls
- 1/4" phono sync input for the reliability of a wired sync connection
- The integrated 2.4 GHz wireless receiver can be used with the separately available VC-500LXMT transmitter to trigger the flash from up to 328 feet away without line-of-sight positioning.
- The built-in optical slave features an on/off mode, six preflash modes, and a learning mode that allows it to automatically memorize the number of preflashes from a speedlight.
- The audio alert function makes it easy to operate monolights remotely.
- Adjustable stand mount easily balances light when using heavy modifiers.
- Adaptive Thermal Control (ATC) regulates the internal heat, keeping the fan engaged to prevent overheating.
- Overheating and overvoltage protection adjusts recycle time to keep strobe cool and to shield against unstable line voltages.
- Low 5V trigger voltage is safe for most cameras.
- Quiet fan cools with minimal noise.
- Flash tube is user replaceable.
- Faceted umbrella reflector and protective dome are included.
