The GlareOne Botis 250 is a compact 250W battery-powered flash with TTL, HSS and a 1.2-second full-power recycle time. Its 250W output delivers more light through larger modifiers and maintains stronger illumination when the head sits further from the subject. Freeze mode shortens the flash pulse to as little as 1/24,700 second, reducing motion blur in fast-moving subjects. Plus, the 12W bi-colour LED gives a visible preview of light direction and shadow placement before the flash fires.

FAQs:
How does the Botis 250 compare to a standard hot-shoe flash?
The Botis 250 produces up to 250W, which is nearly five times the output of a typical hot-shoe flash. That extra energy throws more light through large softboxes and maintains stronger exposure when the flash sits further from the subject. It also gives you more scope to balance flash against bright daylight. Output adjusts across nine stops, so the same head can move from strong location lighting to lower-powered studio work.
Can the GlareOne Botis 250 help to clearly capture fast movement?
The light’s Freeze Mode shortens the flash duration from 1/1,440 to as little as 1/24,700 second at t0.5. The brief pulse reduces the distance a moving subject travels while the flash is illuminating it, resulting in sharper edges in splashes, fabric movement, or airborne objects. MULTI mode can fire repeated pulses when you need to record several stages of motion in a single frame.
How long does the battery last during a shoot?
The supplied B250BP lithium-ion battery provides up to 450 full-power flashes on one charge. Lowering the output reduces the energy used for each exposure, so the total flash count increases during sessions that do not require maximum power. Recycling takes between 0.01 and 1.2 seconds depending on the selected output. The cooling system supports a sequence of up to 150 full-power flashes without interruption.
Does the Botis 250 support TTL and high-speed sync?
Yes. With a compatible TTL trigger, the flash adjusts its output from the camera’s exposure reading. HSS supports shutter speeds up to 1/8000 second, letting you reduce ambient light or use a wider aperture outdoors without exceeding the camera’s normal sync speed. The flash also works across 16 groups and 32 channels within the GlareOne wireless system. Those 16 groups let you adjust individual lights, while 32 channels reduce the risk of triggering another nearby setup.

Buy now pay later
The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
