Pixapro kindly sent over an early unit of their CITI 1200 Pro Pack & Head flash (Affiliate) and it’s a monster. With 1200ws of power it is ready to tackle any job you can throw it’s way.

When I first heard about this unit being developed, I was not sure why. I mean we have the CITI 600(Affiliate), CITI 600 Dual head and the new CITI 400/600 Pro units. Who would need such a pack?

Then I thought about it some more.

Photographers that shoot all day on location and need power as well as photographers that like to boom lights on set. I fall into the latter.

A pack & head system allows for more flexible placement of the light and get’s some of the weight off the end of the boom. Perfect.

I go over some of the other features in the video below.

Bonus Meter Readings Video

In this video I took meter readings using my Sekonic L-358. The CITI 1200 Pro was modified by a Pixapro 120cm Octa with inner baffle and outer diffuser fitted. Readings were taken at the lowest power ( 1/256th ) and full power (1/1) at 6ft and 9ft distances.

Any questions let me know.

P.S - I have some further meter reading logs in my Facebook Group if you would like to find out more. .
