I bought this a part of a kit with a Flashpoint Zoom TTL R2 flash for Nikon but the battery pack is for Cannon Flashes. How do they expect me to plug it in. Really guys!!!! Bought it 2 years ago but never had need for it till now so I didnt try to plug it in to the socket it WASN'T made for till today.

Not a rechargeable battery pack. Read description carefully

Looks like it was advertised and appears to be a well built piece of equipment . I can’t wait to try it.

Very good battery pack. Allows flash to recycle extremely fast. I use them with the Nikon SB910 and SB5000 flash units. I have used other brands with shoulder straps and didn’t think I would like the belt strap. With the belt attachment I no longer have to worry about it falling off my shoulder. The pack can be placed anywhere around the belt.

Know that the plug is configured for SB-910 and SB-5000 only as stipulated. Quite well-made and professional.

It is a lot bigger then the picture looked, but with that being said I am so happy I got this now I can shoot with confidence of not always worried about losing a shot due to no flash

Super battery pack. I use this with my Nikon SB 900 flash and it works great. The pack gives me the power I need and recycled fast. The pack has a light that lets you know how much power is left in the pack. Good quality and much cheaper than the nikon brand. I am happy with the purchase.

Bought this for my Nikon SB-24 Flash. Description said it would fit. But it does not fit. Return was not possible so trying to sell it through Facebook marketplace. Design looks great though n I think it will work well with compatible flashes. Alas, it didn't for me.

Was shooting with this on April 12. The 30 minute time out is very fustrating. When using 2 of these and working with models I expected faster speedlite refresh. But maybe they were just shutting them selfs off?

I load with NiMH and, if necessary, can get "Emergency" batteries if I need them. ;-) GREAT VALUE!!! :-) BIG BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!!! ;-)

This is just a container for 12 AA batteries, it works great but charging 12 batteries is not for everyone

YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! The built of this product is unbelievable. It feels so well built and sturdy for the value you're getting. It lasts a pretty great deal and the recycling time of my speedlite flash is super fast. It makes shooting on location feel like being in the studio with the ability to fire rapidly with multiple frames per second. A great addition to your bag if you're the mobile on location photographer like myself!

Seems to be fine only used twice. Wish I had know when you ordering that the FlashPoint speed lights only take a Canon cable.

So far, I love this battery pack. This unit holds 12 AA batteries to power your speedlites. I personally use NiMH batteries because they can be re-charged many, many times. Past experiences with battery operated devices, I prefer the AA battery option as opposed to one large NiMH or Li-ion cell because AA batteries will be around for the foreseeable future, whereas a single cell may not be available once the main battery fails. I've been there one too many times and have learned to go the AA battery route. This unit should last me a good long time and it recycles the flash almost instantaneously. You won't be disappointed buying this unit.

Battery pack review
By HARDY M.
This pack does what it is suppose to do. Its works great.
Your DSLR speedlight has the new found energy to recycle faster, maintain its staying power and last through the gig, when you connect it with the Green Extreme CB12 Compact Battery Pack with a perfect custom molded connector for choice Sony flashes.
The dependable slim pack adds the vigor of 12AA cells to expand the longevity of the flash, way beyond the limits of standard 4 AA batteries. Recycle times quickened to as little as one second at full power. Depending on your speedlight, you may see as much as 800 full power exposures from a single set of AA's.
Any alkaline or Ni-MH batteries fit into the quick-loading tray. The photographer never has to guess about reserve levels, as they are always visible on the LED display. A rugged integrated 7 foot flexible coiled cable connects the pack firmly to the strobe while hanging on a light stand with the included soft case. The case can be attached to a belt, strapped to gear or affixed to the flash. For safety, the unit shields the connected flash with a thermal circuit that averts overheating and electrical surges.
This is the perfect way to use a speedlight off camera for weddings and events where multiple lighting is a plus, and you need the speed and security of a battery pack, without the expense.
Compatible with:
Sony: HVL-F58M and HVL-F60M
