See how the Bowen’s XMT all-in-one Battery Flash performs on location, as Phil Brown follows and captures the world of extreme runners...

The XMT500 all-in-one battery flash from Bowens is an unrivalled location system designed to provide photographers with limitless creative opportunities, anywhere, anytime.

Watch Steve Brown photographing endurance runner Susie Chan on a beach in Lowestoft, Suffolk to test Bowens XMT location flash system.

For photographers working on-the-go, the XMT includes TTL technology that delivers a perfect flash exposure every time, without metering. The XMT also includes High-Speed Sync enabling shutter speeds up to 1/8000s: perfect for freezing action and allowing full control over ambient light. HSS functionality can also be used in conjunction with TLL for complete automation and ease-of-use, or without it in manual mode to enable total control over light settings.

With 9-stops of flash power (full – 1/256) the XMT can be used to perfectly expose your subject while underexposing bright sunshine. While ultra-fast recycling times (as fast as 0.01s) enable rapid shooting so you can always keep up with the action.

An easy-swap Lithium-ion battery provides power to the XMT and offers up to 500 full power flashes from a single charge. Other features included with the XMT provide photographers more creative freedom than other comparable flash systems, such as sync delay (from 0.01 – 30s) and strobe mode which allows up to 100 flashes in a single burst.

The XMT500 is the ultimate location lighting system.
