Product Information
Full details
The Leica SF C1 Remote Control Unit is an essential tool for professional photographers and Leica SF 60 flash system users who require advanced off-camera lighting control. It empowers users to manage complex multi-flash setups with a reliable 2.4 GHz connection, providing high-speed sync and precise power adjustment; however, it requires the specific SF 60 flash system and relies on AAA batteries rather than an integrated rechargeable power source.
