Enter the world of studio lighting and go anywhere with these extremely affordable, and yet sophisticated self-contained flash units. The Genesis 300B monolight provides you with all the power and lighting control that you will need to create professional-looking portraits and great still-life tabletop photographs. With the optional Genesis B Power Port you’re able to shoot just about anywhere!

Flash operation has never been easier. The convenient rear control panel of each Genesis puts their full range of flash controls at your finger tips. Each model features digital, variable flash-output controls that allow you to adjust power levels over a 5-stop range. You can switch from full to proportional modeling with the press of a button. A built-in optical photo cell provides wireless flash synchronization and it is adjustable to increase or decrease sensitivity, depending upon the environment you are working in. An audible flash-ready alarm lets you know when your Genesis is fully charged and ready to go.

The Calumet Genesis B Power Port 12V DC battery system is the perfect companion to the Genesis 300 B flash unit. The Power Port's battery can be charged in the studio or in the car and provides up to 200 flashes at full power, allowing you to shoot just about anywhere!
