Whether you shoot commercial, industrial, architectural or social events, the Pioneer offers amazing power options, versatility and creative light control possibilities for the photographer on the go. This portable rechargeable flash system — and it is a system! — offers many advantages over conventional portable, on-camera flashes. The Pioneer blends location-friendly conveniences with studio-control savvy to give you more lighting flexibility than you may have thought possible from a handheld flash.

Rugged, Powerful & Portable
At the heart of any portable flash system is a dependable battery and the Pioneer offers a choice of two. Both are sealed lead-acid batteries, noted for robust and trouble-free performance and none of the memory limitations that plague alternative types. For added convenience, and no surprises, the voltage stabilised batteries feature a charge level indicator that shows the state of charge.

SI 2.5Ah Battery
The smaller of the two batteries, the SI is by far the most popular. It weighs in at 2kg (4.4 lbs.) and delivers 210 shots per charge at full power with an impressive recycle time of 2.9 seconds.

Pioneer S-70 Flash Head
A portable flash doesn't need to be strictly utilitarian. It can have some panache and style, and this system has a smartly designed head to lead the way. Pioneer's portable head is first and foremost practical for all flash purposes. With its ability to rotate 270° and tilt 45°, it can be used directly or bounced just as easily. Its ability to go bare-bulb or accept a range of interchangeable reflectors gives this head its multi-lighting personality.

For safety and comfort, it features a secure hand strap and a sure-grip soft housing.

The threaded base facilitates fixing the unit to a camera bracket, light stand or tripod for creative offcamera shots.
