Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint II D/C Battery Power Pack with Replaceable Nickel-Hydrogen Batteries, for use with the M Series Monolights:

I have been hesitant to try these portable battery powered monolight units. I saw the Adorama video with Mark Wallace. It was a quick overview on the 650M system. I purchased the 320M with battery pack because it appeared easy to use. I purchase this setup for remote and location shoots. I have several coming up and look forward to getting value out of these recommended lights and battery. So far out of the box everything seems to be working. Not happy that the modeling light does not work on AC battery power. Also I am not sure how many shots I can take with this 150WS unit. I am assuming its twice as much as the 620M. Again, easy to setup, all the parts were there[...] I will add comments next week when I use them for a remote corporate staff portrait session. Adorama seems to have a lot of options when it comes to pro lighting. In the studio i use Hensel lighting, but I thought for this price I can gamble and see what happens. I have seen complaints about poor quality of the lights and the battery pack. Some battery packs not fully charging, or not turning on at all. Crossing my fingers here...If these last 6 months, I will be a happy photographer, if they last longer, I will recommend them to all of my photography students, who are always looking for less expensive startup equipment. NOT SURE YET ABOUT RECOMMEND TO A FRIEND. SO I WILL SAY YES BASED ON THE INITIAL EXPERIENCE. See you in a few weeks with an update review.AF

I love the ease and no cables to move around. Easy to set up/ take down, and use. they have not let me down or ran out of power.
