Dynalite continues to evolve and improve on their theme of maximum dependable power in a featherweight package.The Dynalite Road Series RP500 500 Watt/Second Power Pack features a sleek new finish and color accents, while managing to shed almost a pound from its previous incarnation's weight.

Power can be equally distributed (symmetrical) among the 3 outlets or separated into a 1-outlet "A" channel, and a 2-outlet "B" channel (asymmetrical). In either case, overall power can be further broken down from full to 1/4 or 1/2 via an intuitive rocker switch. Finally, output can be further tweaked with the variator knob (think of it as a dimmer), that regulates the pack in 2/10 stop increments over a 2 stop range.  In fact, when pumping all of the power through a single flash head in the "A" channel, up to 18 different power settings are possible.

The RP500 offers a three-way modeling light control: on: full, on: in proportion to power, and off. The housing incorporates a built-in optical slave and infrared receiver. Used with other strobes, the slave "sees" the light and fires instantaneously without having to be hard-wired. Alternately, infrared transmitters such as the Dynalite IRT-1, can be used to wirelessly trigger the pack or other Wein infrared receivers.Further refinements include "plain English" labeling of controls and a universal phono plug input for direct camera sync.
