tats a battery pack
is not a new product

but is cheap at $90

It's basically like the Canon's CP-E4, cept it only allows 6 batteries in the pack (the CP-E4 allows 8, plus weather sealing), connected to your flash, so there's more power. I don't recommend firing full 1/1 power shots in burst, though. Really will spoil your flash head.

hahah not that i want to do full blast all the while. just hope to get something like so that i wont need to change battery so frequently.. and the shortening recycle time feature will be plus point on top of that..

weather seal.. mm.. guess i do not need it as im shooting event and ill just screw it at the bottom of the camera..

 

[thomaschen]

looks like the continuous blasting is the main concert.. as it might spoilt the light in the flashgun right? other than that?

 

[Headshotzx]

I believe shooting with a burst of 20 shots, all with flash, and not letting the flash rest for 15min, will spoil the flash.

Depends on what flash you have. :bsmilie:

Looks like the same device East Gear is selling... but at a higher price.

But be warn..... A friend of mine had his 580EX MkII 'Burn Out' because of multi flashes in quick time..... :sweat:

yea, dangerous to give your flash too much power... you'll likely to over-use it :sweat:

I'll stick to just 5 batts for my SB-800 :sweat:

Look more like the CP-E2. Heed the warning guys, firing sequential flash at full power will KO yr flash. I burnt one even without using a batt pack 2 years ago.
