Wireless control from camera, computer or iPhone
All D-Lite RX models have a built-in Skyport RX, wireless triggering and control of flash functions. When shooting, the Skyport Transceiver Speed is connected to the camera's accessory shoe and the flash can be triggered and output power regulated at distances up to 60 m (outdoors up to 120 m). With Skyport WiFi Module, most flash functions can also be controlled from iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch via an app that is free to download. For professional work in the studio, the Skyport USB RX Speed is connected to the computer, which not only makes it possible to control the standard functions of the flash. With the Skyport Software in combination with Skyport USB RX Speed, e.g. the flash software is updated, several flashes are triggered in series with a delay (Flash delay), flash setups / settings are saved in a virtual studio and much, much more.
Align D-Lite RX with camera flash thanks to Eye-Cell
A very smart feature on the D-Lite RX is the intelligent slave function Eye-Cell which can "read" the camera flash so that the D-Lite RX is triggered correctly. Without Eye-Cell, the studio flash will have already been resolved before exposure because it was fooled by the camera flash's pre-flashes.
Many personal setting options
Many features of the D-Lite RX can be customized to your personal preferences. For example. the output power can be regulated in 1/10, 1/2 or 1/1 steps. If you have several flashes, the sound signal for charged flash can be changed so that you can easily hear when all flashes have been charged between shots. The setting light, which corresponds to 150W, can be set in proportion to the flash light or in max/min and switched off.
Fast charging and accurate exposure
D-Lite RX 4 charges in 0.35 - 1.2 sec depending on the set strength and is very stable from flash to flash, which provides even exposure and color temperature over long series of images.
Built-in fan
The D-Lite RX can be used for long photo days thanks to a built-in microprocessor-controlled fan that works as needed.
