Just got my new Porty Lithium from Adorama. I had the very old Porty 1200 B from the stone ages. This new unit is unbelievable! Small, Light in weight and very powerful. Much lighter than Broncolor, Profoto or Speedotron. I have only tested a few times so far but I am getting over 200 flashed at full power on one charged battery. It's not the cheapest unit out there but much less than the higher end competition.

Softbag VII De Luxe (Black)
Slightly smaller version of our Softbag VIII - but with similar assets. A deceptively spacious trolley with up to three internal compartments and completely new, significantly reinforced wheels. The bag holds flash units, lots of accessories and up to 3 stands (e.g. our item no. 200). The bag's lid incorporates a mesh pocket for smaller accessories. And the best thing: A handle and stable wheels at the bottom of the bag take the fear out of fully packed bags and long walks!
