San Diego, CA—Sony’s new HVL-F45RM radio-controlled flash, aimed at professionals, functions as a compact shooting solution when combined with the currently available wireless remote controller FA-WRC1M and receiver FA-WRR1.
Designed to complement the compact bodies of Sony’s E-mount cameras, it produces a maximum lighting output of guide number 45. This output ensures sufficient illumination even when shooting with bounce lighting or high-speed-sync flash.
The radio capabilities of the HVL-F45RM flash unit permit it to be used as a transmitter or a receiver at up to 98 feet. As a result, it is well suited for creative lighting with multiple flash units. Additionally, because it is a radio-control flash, it does not require a direct line of sight between components for it to function properly.
HVL-F45RM Flash Features
Specs state the flash has a battery life of up to 210 bursts. In addition, the unit can tilt up to 150º vertically, a complete 360º horizontally and 8º downward. Other features include a large, bright LCD display; an LED light; a dust- and moisture-resistant body; and also a revamped menu system that mimics those of Sony’s newest camera systems.
Sony’s HVL-F45RM flash has a suggested retail price of $400. sony.com
