Many thanks for purchasing our most advanced mains flash system, the Lencarta UltraPro 300, or
UltraPro 600.
First, let's talk about the body of the UltraPro flash heads, the body is the same for both models.
The body is made from extruded aluminum, it's tough, lightweight and also provides a high level of
additional electrical insulation. The colour has been added during the manufacturing process, so
although we're sure that you will want to take care of your equipment, it's good to know that it is highly
resistant to scratches.
If you're using extremely heavy light shapers (for example a beauty dish) you can obtain perfect balance
simply by loosening the 2 screws that attach the adjustment handle to the body, and sliding the
assembly to the position that balances the head correctly.
If you want to use your UltraPro on an overhead track system, just remove the screws completely and fit
the handle assembly to the top of the unit.
The tilt adjustment handle allows one-handed
adjustment, just twist the handle anti-clockwise to
loosen it, make the adjustment and tighten it again.

- Page 1 Many thanks for purchasing our most advanced mains flash system, the Lencarta UltraPro 300, or UltraPro 600. First, let’s talk about the body of the UltraPro flash heads, the body is the same for both models. The body is made from extruded aluminum, it’s tough, lightweight and also provides a high level of additional electrical insulation.
- Page 2 Fitting/Changing accessories Your UltraPro unit accepts all Lencarta/Bowens light shapers, softboxes and other accessories. To fit a small accessory such as a standard reflector, simply locate the 3 male lugs into their sockets and twist the accessory slightly to the right. It will then click into position and will be locked securely in place.
- Page 3 Umbrellas of all types are normally adjusted for distance from the flash head so that they are nearly, but not completely filled with light, making full use of the size available. If required however, they can be adjusted so that they are closer to the flash head, in which case a smaller area will be filled with light and the umbrella will then create a smaller, harder light source.

- Page 5 9. Beeper. You can turn the beeper either on or off 10. Flash power. You can adjust the power very precisely in 1/10 stop increments (60 adjustment levels). The lowest power setting is indicated by 1 and the highest power setting is indicated by 6.
- Page 6 d. Independent. You can set the modelling lamp to any one of 60 power settings, regardless of the power setting of the flash. e. The modelling lamp can also be set to dim whilst the head is recycling. This does not affect the shot in any way, but provides a useful indication that the head is ready for the next shot.
- Page 7 Radio receiver Your UltraPro has a built-in 2.4GHz radio receiver and we will be introducing an optional radio transmitter for it soon. The UltraPro radio trigger will allow you to fire all flash heads by radio signal, without the need to buy a radio receiver for each flash head, and without the need to use the built in slave cell.
- Page 8 Our warranty is 24 months and covers all components and labour with the exception of the modelling lamp. All Lencarta products are fully compliant with both ROHS and EU standards and have been issued with the necessary certificates. We are also fully compliant with WEE Regulations and are happy to accept any Lencarta electrical products for recycling, once they have reached the end of their useful life.
