Monolight meets speedlight in new Falcon Eyes Strobe Gun

[rogermbyrne]

Just seen this, I'm guessing because it's recessed that it's not going to be the modern day Sunpak 120J that some people search hi and lo for?

Looks v interesting. Lowest setting being 1/8 power seems bit high.

Would like to see the controls on the back. The copy mentions analogue knob to control output. Sounds good to me.

In the product catalogue you can see renders of the back panel. Here's a screenshot:

The piccy is somewhat low-fi but you can see

• Analogue power dial
• Test button
• On/off rocker switch
• Sync port (6.35mm or 3.5mm)
• Buttons:
  • ???
  • "Remote" - optical slave most likely
  • "Model" - modelling lamp switch
• Lights:
  • "Ready"
  • ???

Great. Thanks for the pic. I'll check out the brochure. The analogue knob looks to stick out a bit but very easy to make adjustments. My 430ex has tiny little recessed buttons and every change of output is a real mission.

hmmm looks good but also check the date

I'm 99% sure it's not an April Fool but there's always that tiny bit of doubt

According to the European distributor in Holland, these should be available mid-May.
