The X-Series X3200 Flash Unit
$669.00 (FREE Carrying Bag Included!)

The X-Series X3200 is our most powerful self-contained studio flash unit, producing 1,320 true wattseconds and 3200 effective wattseconds of power, with 56,000 lumenseconds of output. The X3200 offers dual power modes, allowing you to independently adjust the flashpower over a total 7 f-stop range. In Full Power Mode, the flashpower can be adjusted over 5 f-stops, from Full down to 1/32nd of the total power. Pressing the blue Power Range Switch on the back panel allows the light to then go into Low Power Mode, for lowered flashpower and faster flash duration. In Low Power Mode, the flashpower can be adjusted over 5 f-stops as well, 1/4 down to 1/128th of the total power. This flashpower is easily adjusted on the back control panel in whole f-stop increments, and everywhere in between.

The X3200 contains a thermostatically controlled internal cooling fan, which automatically kicks in when the temperatures rise from extended use. This allows the unit to be used under heavy all-day shooting conditions. With its fast recycle and fast flash duration, the X3200 unit is ideal for professionals who have a wide range of output needs, and require a great deal of power for particular shoots.

With precision voltage regulated circuits supplying consistent output, the X3200 offers “what-you-see-is-what-you-get” modeling lamp accuracy. The modeling lamp can be set to full brightness, turned completely off, or independently adjusted over the same range as the flashpower to track the power changes, with its own rear panel slide fader. Furthermore, the 250 watt modeling lamp may be used as a recycle indicator, dimming as the unit recycles, and coming back on to let you know when the unit is fully recycled.

The X3200 has a built-in slave tripper to allow wireless firing, where the unit will fire whenever it “sees” a flash from another source. For additional ease of operation, the X3200 has audible warning alarms for misfire and overheat, should the unit reach higher temperatures, or fail to fire (due to a broken flashtube, etc.).

The X3200 is indestructible, housed in high impact aircraft-grade aluminum, with molded polycarbonate rear bezels, and rounded corners for ease and safety. The unit is fit for travel, and fully-versatile with our full line of accessories, mounting easily with our stand bracket, accessory quick-release and umbrella hole. The X3200 can be powered on location, anywhere in the world with our Vagabond Portable Power System.
