How to Use the GlareOne Botis 200:

Access powerful performance in a compact flash

The GlareOne Botis 200 delivers 200Ws of flash power, providing approximately four times the output of standard on-camera flashes. It is designed for studio and on-location photography and features an efficient cooling system that allows continuous use in demanding conditions. With a fast recycling time of just 1.3 seconds, photographers can maintain a steady shooting pace without delays, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted sessions.

Capture sharp, colour-accurate scenes

Equipped with a studio-style flash tube, the Botis 200 ensures even light distribution, making it an excellent choice for use with modifiers such as softboxes, umbrellas, and snoots. The daylight-balanced 5500K colour temperature provides accurate colour reproduction, maintaining natural tones and details in every shot. For high-speed action photography, the Freeze mode enables an ultra-short flash duration ranging from 1/1130 to 1/44400 (t0.5), capturing crisp details in fast-moving scenes.

Optimise your lighting with selectable modes

A lithium-ion battery powers the GlareOne Botis 200 and offers up to 450 flashes per charge, making it a reliable choice for extended shoots. The adjustable power range spans 9 f-stops, providing fine-tuned control over flash intensity to suit different lighting conditions. Alternatively, automatic TTL light measurement removes guesswork to provide optimal lighting without manual adjustment. High-Speed Sync (HSS) supports synchronisation with all shutter speeds, allowing photographers to balance ambient light and flash when shooting outdoors or capturing portraits with a shallow depth of field.

Control multiple flashes with precision

The Botis 200 supports SLAVE mode, which allows other GlareOne flash units to trigger and control it remotely. It is also fully compatible with the Canon RT system, enabling integration with Canon lights and triggers. Additionally, it operates on 16 groups and 32 channels, giving users precise control over multiple optional flashes in complex lighting setups.

Expand creativity with modifiers

The Bowens adapter included with the Botis 200 expands its compatibility with a wide range of Bowens-mount light modifiers, such as softboxes, reflectors, and grids. Attaching the adapter does not require additional tools. The flash also comes with a reflector, coloured gels, and a carrying case for added convenience. Designed for flexibility, the Botis 200 integrates smoothly into existing setups, whether as a primary light source or part of a multi-light arrangement.

FAQs:

What flash modes are available on the GlareOne Botis 200?

The Botis 200 supports Manual, TTL, and Freeze Modes. Manual Mode allows precise control over flash power, while TTL Mode automatically adjusts the output based on ambient light for balanced exposures. Freeze Mode enables ultra-short flash durations (as fast as 1/44,400s at t0.5), making it ideal for high-speed photography and capturing motion with exceptional sharpness.

What is the flash duration range on the GlareOne Botis 200, and why does it matter?

The flash duration ranges from 1/330s to 1/44,400s (t0.5 measurement), allowing users to freeze motion with incredible precision. Shorter flash durations, such as 1/44,400s, are ideal for high-speed photography, ensuring that moving subjects appear crisp and detailed without motion blur.

What mounting options does the GlareOne Botis 200 offer?

The GlareOne Botis 200 comes with a built-in stand mount, making it easy to attach to light stands for studio and on-location setups. This ensures stability while allowing flexible positioning for different lighting angles and effects.
