I bought my Hensel Porty Premium after much product and market investigation, as is usual when I am about to buy something that I will use professionally. Simply put, this is the best portable flash unit you can buy.Simple to use; reliable; consistent power and color output; portability; power to spare; independability and autonomy; sturdy and solid quality construction; full wireless capability and control.The porty has everything you would like from a portable flash unit and then some. I use mine regularly, taking it off to location shootings and have NEVER been deceived or troubled by it. I have been in the Andes Range in South America at 5,500 mts high in very low temperature conditions and the Porty has met my demands time after time; in the Atacama Desert in Chile, for some location shootings, in intense heat, and the unit performed perfectly.[...] I have two Porty heads to use with the unit and a spare battery I carry with me all the time. The autonomy of the battery is reasonable, and can be increased by purchasing more batteries that exchange from the unit in absolutely no time at all.My only "NEGATIVE" comment is that if you plan to use the unit with both heads operating at the same time, you should by all means get an extension cable or two, since you will not be able to both raise the heads in their light stands as well as separate both heads sufficiently to have a good light placement. The extensions are rather expensive, but that would be the only con I can think of for the unit.
