400 Ws AC Monolight
The Flashpoint Rapid 400 II R2 HSS is an AC-powered studio flash head delivering 400ws output for portrait and product photography. It features built-in R2 wireless radio integration for remote control across compatible lighting setups. A rear graphical LCD panel provides full menu access to power, mode, flash duration and sync settings. The unit maintains a stable 5600K colour temperature with a +/-200K variance in stable colour mode.
Suits high-volume shooters needing speed
Photographers who require rapid recycling will benefit from the 0.01-0.9 second recycle range and Multiflash mode reaching 99 flashes per second. High-Sync flash capability supports fast shutter work. Buyers who need battery-powered location operation should look elsewhere as this unit requires mains power. Studios without R2 system components cannot use the integrated wireless grouping and channel features.
Mains-powered studio centrepiece
The monolight plugs directly into AC power, removing the need for separate battery packs or inverters in a fixed studio. Its 65m guide number at full power covers large sets and groups with a single head. The efficient LED modelling lamp allows continuous preview without adding heat load. R2 radio integration frees the camera hot shoe from trigger cables while enabling multi-light control from one position.

Questions about this item
What camera trigger do I need to fire the built-in R2 wireless radio on this 400ws head?
Any Flashpoint R2 or Godox X system transmitter on the same channel and group will control power, mode and High-Speed Sync remotely.
Can the 0.01-0.9 second recycle time keep up with my older monolights when shooting bursts?
This head recycles in 0.01-0.9 seconds; older units with slower recycle will determine the burst pace, so match groups by speed or fire this head independently via its own R2 channel.
How do I confirm the 5600K colour temperature is stable after I power up?
The rear LCD shows the current mode and colour setting; in stable colour mode the unit holds 5600K ±200K, and a test flash with a meter will verify consistency.
