FLASHPOINT eVOLV 200 Flash Instruction Manual

Intro

Before using this product

Please read this user manual carefully in order to ensure your safety and the proper operation of this

product. Keep for future reference.

Thank You for Choosing Flashpoint!

The new eVOLV200 is not just a mighty 200 watt second fully cordless TTL strobe, but an amazing

miniaturized modular“SpeedMonoLight”system with interchangeable ash heads. You can snap

in the best of traditional speedlite style Fresnel heads at GN170 (ft) or chose to use to the barebulb

parabolic reector head at GN 196 (ft) with super even spread, just by plugging it in. The incredible

amount of power and control in these compact and lightweight ashes, make this design a rst

choice of professional photographers with an eye for exible multiple light set up.

The eVOLV200 has a max recycle time of under 2 seconds and enough energy to cover at least 500

full power shots. That gives more exibility and instant solutions for multiple o camera lighting

while maintaining all of the investment in light modiers in the Streaklight and ZoomLion models.

The battery recharge is a snap, too, using the external power charger to keep the action going

without tying up the ash to re-energize. Add the pro LED modeling light feature and the picture is

complete.

The eVOLV200 is the next evolution of the Flashpoint R2 radio system, totally compatible with the

Canon, Nikon and Sony systems, for remote power control and shooting. With a focus on portable

lighting, the R2 Family frees your camera to go out and shoot at will - whether you are a wedding or

event photographer, environmental portraiture shooter, freelance commercial illustrator,

photojournalist, a backpack adventurer, or fast action sports snapper.

For Your Safety

• Always keep this product dry. Do not use in rain or in damp conditions.

• This product contains high-voltage electronic parts. Touching the high-voltage circuit inside it may

result in electric shock. Do not disassemble. Should repairs become necessary, this product must

be sent to an authorized maintenance center.

• Stop using this product if it breaks open due to extrusion, falling or strong hit. Otherwise, electric

shock may occur if you touch the electronic parts inside it.

• Do not use the ash unit in the presence of ammable gases, chemicals and other similar

materials. In certain circumstances, these materials may be sensitive to the strong light emitting

from this ash unit and re or electromagnetic interference that may result.

• Do not leave or store the ash unit if the ambient temperature reads over 120°F/50°C

(e.g. in sun drenched automobile). Otherwise the electronic parts may be damaged.

• Do not use any power supply other than the included one to charge the battery.

• Do not insert metal parts into any lighting equipment.

• Do not touch the electrical contacts on the strobe or battery or contact them with any conductive

materials.

• Do not re the ash directly into the eyes (especially those of babies) within short distances. Other-

wise, visual impairment may occur. When taking pictures of babies, keep the ash unit at least 3.3

feet (1 meter) away from them. Using bounce ash to reduce light intensity is also recommended.

• This strobe has an over-heat protection circuit, rapid continuous ring will cause the strobe to slow

operation and trigger a“cool down” period. After this period, the strobe will resume normal opera-

tion. You may also reboot the strobe by cycling the power o and then on.

• The strobe has a locking mechanism to ensure secure operation. To avoid damage, slide the release

before removing any reectors or accessories.

• In case of abnormal function, sparks, excessive heat, ames or smoke, immediately power o the

unit and disconnect the battery if safely possible. Have it checked by an authorized technician.
