This is a Broncolor Mobil A2R Travel Kit. Broncolor Mobil A2R is a battery-supplied power pack with two flash head outlets. It has an internal radio slave receiver, which enables you to wirelessly trigger the pack from your camera and optional RFS transmitter or transceiver. The photocell and infrared receiver can be switched off independently. It has a power output control range over four f/stops in 1/10 intervals; the asymmetry extends the control range over two additional f/stops.

The A2R has Auto Dump - internal discharge when power setting is reduced. This pack provides repetitive accuracy for digital photography. It is compatible with the entire Broncolor flash head range. Its battery charges inside the unit with 100-240VAC current.

The Mobilite2 stuffs 1600 w/s handling into a very compact head. Hardly larger than a soda can, the tiny mobilite head is built to travel. The light modifiers made specially for the Mobilite include barn doors, grids, and a snoot. There is an adapter available which makes the Mobilite compatible with the Pulso line of reflectors for more control.

This kit includes a multi-voltage charger, sync cord, pack shoulder strap, and a soft kit case with shoulder strap. The case holds all the components. Add a light stand to complete this kit.

    Comments about Broncolor Mobil A2R Battery Operated Travel Kit:

    I have been using my Mobil a2r for about 3 months as a location pack for portraits and fashion (and some weddings). Now I use it in the studio a little as well. The pack is small, the battery is great. 1200 ws of power is good for me. I can shoot hundreds of pops on a single charge. The heads are really small - which is great. But they have a built in reflector like the new Profoto monolights. This can come in handy sometimes but it would be nice to have a barebulb (exposed flashtube) solution as well. I guess I could buy normal bron unilite heads - but they are bigger. It also has really simple to use asymmetry.
