Bowens Gemini Flash Heads

The ultra-compact Gemini 200 features the same solid metal construction and tough build of the more powerful professional Gemini models.

Performance has not been compromised either with this petite power-house offering impressive flash-durations and recycle times and precise control over 5 stops of power using a single simple stepless dial which also controls the proportional modelling lamp - simply press a switch for modelling at 100% or off.
No complicated digital menu systems - 'simplicity' is the keyword here, the Gemini really is plug-and-go.

And when you want to go, the Gemini is the only truly portable compact flash system, able to be powered from mains AC power or the optional Travelpak battery system delivering up to 750 flashes per charge out on location.

The Gemini Classic 500C features the unique ability to easily integrate with either the Bowens Pulsar or PocketWizard® radio trigger systems by plugging in a small radio trigger card.

The Gemini Classic range feature a greater degree of modelling control via the separate 'lamp' dial so you can set the 250W modelling lamp to any level you require, to preview where light and shadows may fall, in adition to the usual '100%', 'proportional' and 'off' options.

The Gemini 500C is able to be powered from mains (AC) or the optional Travelpak battery system delivering up to 300 flashes per charge out on location (see battery performance table).

The Gemini 500r monolight retains the unique ability to be powered from AC mains in the studio or the award-winning Travelpak battery unit out on location as well as boasting a range of new features designed to offer photographers not only ultimate freedom but unmatched power, durability and control too.

Take Control.
Why should precise control be complicated?
Simplicity is the key with Gemini. Digitally accurate control is easy without a confusing digital menu! Turn one dial for stops and the other for tenths to instantly set five stops of power with precision control, the LED display confirms the power output.
Modelling control is also made simple with one switch, choose from full, proportional or off or even set the modelling lamp to any level you desire.

Freedom is your choice.
These days unreliable sync cords are a distant memory for most photographers. Now you can also forget bulky radio receivers attached to your lights too! Thanks to the unique radio-card facility on the Gemini r.
By simply plugging a radio trigger card into the slot on the back, Gemini lights instantly become compatible with either the Pulsar radio trigger system or the PocketWizard® system or Litelink - the choice is yours!
Because the radio trigger card becomes an integral part of the unit it is much more reliable than an external receiver which can only be as good as it’s cord connection.
Gemini monolights can also be controlled remotely with the Bowens Gemini Remote Control which can adjust all basic features from up to 7m away.
