For digital photographers who aspire to shoot studio pictures like a
true professional, Kenro has put together a portable flash kit that
won't break the bank!
Comprising two powerful 300w mains or battery operated flash heads,
lighting stands and umbrellas, the Kenro Compact 300 Flash kit is the
ideal solution for any photographer looking for quality, durability and
flexibility in a portable studio lighting kit.
With a suggested retail price of £395 excluding VAT, the kit even comes
complete with its own carry cases.
Features include power control range of six f-stops, from 1-32 to full
power plus dual power input, so the units can either be mains operated
or work from an optional rechargeable Battery Pack. This provides a
highly flexible solution to shoot outdoors or in areas where there is
limited mains supply.
The ultra-compact flash heads are a new flat concept of design and can
be triggered by a synch cord, radio or infra-red device, giving them the
flexibility of many high-end professional units.
In addition, the daylight LED modelling lamp is dimmed according to the
proportion of the flash power selected, so that you'll be able to see
the kind of effect the flash will give; very useful when visually
assessing the lighting ratios when multiple light sources are used.
The heads have a very usable Guide number of 22m (ISO100), recycling
time 1.2 secs on full power, and the three section stands extend to a
maximum of 244 cm.
Optional extras you may also consider are the Kenro Wireless Flash
Transmitter MkII (SRP £34.66 inc VAT) and the Kenro Flash Meter (SRP
£59.93 inc VAT), plus Kenro supply a good range of portable backgrounds,
stands and reflectors.

Photo Quote: There is no art which affords less opportunity to execute expression than photography. Everything is concentrated in a few seconds, when after perhaps an hours seeking, waiting, and hesitation, the photographer sees the realization of his inward vision, and in that moment he has one advantage over most arts - his medium is swift enough to record his momentary inspiration. - Sadakichi Hartmann
