Benefits

• Powerful and flexible twin flash unit with fast, silent recycling

• High-brightness white LEDs to assist focusing in low-light environments

• Optical and 2.4GHz Radio Wireless control for triggering additional Speedlites

• Creative lighting modes and custom functions for tailored illumination

• Intuitive controls and field-optimised usability for fast adjustments on the go

Professional Macro Lighting Made Easy

The MT-26EX-RT features two independently controlled flash heads, giving you complete authority over lighting direction, intensity, ratio, and diffusion. Each head can be positioned and angled to sculpt highlights and shadows with precision—essential for revealing detail in miniature subjects.

Using both heads together delivers a guide number of 85.3 ft (ISO 100), with manual control down to 1/512 power for subtle, delicate lighting.

Flexible Positioning and Diffusion

Mounted directly to the front of a macro lens, each flash head can be rotated up to 60° horizontally and 45° vertically. This allows you to fine-tune lighting direction for natural depth, improved texture, and reduced unwanted reflections.
Removable diffusers are included to soften output when required.

Advanced Wireless Control

Equipped with Canon’s 2.4GHz radio transmission, the MT-26EX-RT integrates effortlessly into multi-flash environments. It can:

• Control other Canon Speedlites

• Act as a master flash

• Position each head off-camera for creative setups

• Work reliably without line-of-sight restrictions

This makes it suitable not just for macro, but also for advanced product and creative still-life photography.

Optimised Usability in the Field

Designed for working professionals, the Macro Twinlite includes:

• A bright dot-matrix LCD for easy visibility

• White LED focus assist lamps for accurate focusing in dim environments

• 0.1–5.5 second recycle times using 4× AA batteries

Whether you’re shooting handheld or on a tripod, the system is built for speed and convenience.
