This is an Impact VC-500 Three Monolight Kit. This fully equipped kit is centered around three of the VC-500 professional level 500 watt/second monolights. These monolights have many features found on units costing hundreds of dollars more, such as a 6 f/stop power range (full to 1/32) adjustable in 1/10 stop increments, fast recycling time (2 seconds @ full power), and fully adjustable model light level. The VC-500 also features minimal flash color-shift when powering down (~300°K).

The VC-500 also has a feature not found on most other monolights -- a Red Eye Reduction Photocell sync. This feature comes in handy when you are using your on-camera flash at the same time as this kit. This smart photocell feature allows you to set the cell to ignore pre-exposure flashes from your on-camera flash. The system can "learn" the pre-exposure sequence to ensure perfect flash synchronization.

This kit is rounded out with umbrellas, a softbox, light stands,

Fire the main light from your camera, and the other monolight "sees" the light from the first one and fires instantaneously.
Adjustable Modeling Light
The 250 watt modeling light has a separate adjustment switch that allows you to choose between off, full-on, or ratio-to-flash level.
Compatible With Bowens Reflectors
