MO for UnderDog & PocketDog flash battery packs

[cyrilng]

I've been using the UnderDog & PocketDog flash batteries for the past three years & I think they have excellent performance & value for money.

The UnderDog batteries are basically 6 volt/1.3 Amp/hr lead-acid, rechargeable flash batteries that can be attached to the bottom of the cameras or motor drives tripod socket. The PocketDogs are slimmer & lighter as they come without the screw-mount & can be carried in your pocket.

The UnderDog weighs 350g, measures 9.5x5.8x3.4cm & the PocketDog is 310g & measures 9.6x5.8x2.6cm.

Using 400ASA film shooting at f8 indoors, one battery can last around 10-15 rolls easily with super fast recycle times.

These are just plain old lead acid batteries with no memory-effect & no fancy LEDs or power indicators but they do the job & are value-for-money IMHO.

Please note that the batteries don't come with cables to connect to your flash but you can buy & use Quantum Battery 1+ cables that correspond to your brand & model of flash which are available locally at shops like Fotoguide for around S$90. If you prefer the Short Leash cable (see bottom photo) that is of a shorter length & designed for use with the UnderDog attached to the base of your camera & to do away with an unnecessarily long & cumbersome cable length, then you can order it for US$55 directly from Jon Falk Lights.

You can buy just one battery & a charger but the batteries are also sold in a kit consisting of two batteries & a charger as it's recommended to have one in use & one as a spare. You'll also save US$5 if you order the kit.

Please see http://www.underdog-battery.com/product.htm for the full range of products & here for the US price list & order form http://www.underdog-battery.com/order.htm

For those interested in ordering, please see the space below.

(If you don't think they are as good as I find them, at least check out Jon Falk's website & read the FAQ & other stuff there, it's really funny. He's a real nice guy too, actually sent me a nice Christmas present after my last order. )

OK, will do. I think so far about 3 persons have expressed interest but I hope to get at least 5 orders in order to justify asking for a discount unless you all don't mind paying the listed price.
