Flashpoint Studio 400 Monolight

The Flashpoint Studio 400 Monolight is an AC-powered studio flash unit with a built-in R2 2.4GHz radio remote system, designed as a compact studio member of Flashpoint’s broader R2 family of wireless radio-controlled flashes. It’s built for portrait, product, and general studio photographers who need dependable AC-based flash power along with wireless remote control.

At 400Ws of power, the unit delivers a guide number of 213 ft. (65m) at ISO 100 when used with standard Bowens reflectors and modifiers. Power output is adjustable across a range from full power (1/1) down to 1/16 in tenths-of-a-stop increments, giving photographers precise, repeatable control over exposure. Flash duration ranges from 1/800 to 1/2000 second, and color temperature is rated at 5600K (±200K) for consistent, predictable results across a shoot. Recycle time runs from 0.4 to 2 seconds depending on power level, and the monolight operates on AC100-120V/60Hz or AC200-240V/50Hz power.

A 150W quartz modeling lamp, adjustable from 5% to 100% brightness, lets photographers preview light direction and quality before firing, with no limit on modeling lamp use thanks to the unit’s AC power source. The built-in R2 2.4GHz wireless receiver links to Flashpoint’s R2 radio remote system with a signal range of up to 328 ft. (100m) across 32 channels and up to 16 individual groups, allowing wireless power adjustment and triggering from a compatible transmitter. Additional triggering methods include a standard PC sync port, a test button, optical slave triggering, and a Wireless Control Port supporting R1 wireless remote devices.

Build quality centers on a compact, lightweight monolight body with a standard Bowens mount, giving it broad compatibility with a wide range of light-shaping modifiers such as softboxes, umbrellas, and reflectors. The unit measures approximately 12.7cm in flash head diameter, 23.2cm in height with the handle, and 38cm in length with the lamp cover, weighing approximately 2.1kg.
