Watsonville, CA - January 16, 2020 - Nissin Digital’s latest advanced photographic flash, the MG80 Pro, is now available in the United States and Canada through Nissin’s distributor, ExpoImaging.
Superior High Power Rapid-Fire Heat Resistance - The Nissin MG80 Pro flash was designed with professional power (Guide Number of 60m at 200mm, 83 watt-seconds) and uncompromising rapid-fire flash performance. The MG80 Pro incorporates a quartz flash tube and superior heat resistant design and materials, allowing for the high volume of continuous flashes demanded by wedding and event shooters. The MG80 Pro also has a high power (8W) LED modeling light with a silent cooling system.
Patented Battery System Gives Choice of Lithium Ion, NiMH Rechargeable or Alkaline Batteries - Running out of power on a shoot is not an option for professional photographers. The Nissin MG80 Pro’s patented “Wide Variety Battery System” enables photographers to choose from lithium ion, NiMH rechargeable batteries, or traditional AA alkaline batteries. The high-capacity lithium ion battery option provides for long battery life and stable, fast recycling times as fast as 1.2 seconds (full power with li-ion batteries).
Advanced Nissin Air System (‘NAS’) Radio Wireless Commander Capability Built-In - The Nissin MG80 Pro incorporates Nissin’s advanced 2.4Ghz radio wireless triggering system, allowing complete remote control of NAS capable flashes in manual mode or in camera-system compatible TTL mode. The MG80 Pro can act as a NAS Commander with its color-LCD screen showing instant information on power output for all connected flash groups, and its intuitive controls allow for quick settings changes.
A Professional Flash Perfect for Event and Location Portrait Shooters - The MG80 Pro’s robust heat resistance, flexible power options, including lithium ion battery support, and advanced wireless control system make MG80 Pro a natural choice for event and location portrait shooters. The MG80 Pro is a well built all-day workhorse flash designed to achieve the results demanded by professional shooters in tough continuous shooting situations. “No other flash on the market today has the MG80’s heat resistant design, flexible battery options and pro build quality, all at a lower price than other premium flashes,” points out ExpoImaging CEO Erik Sowder.
