Questions & Answers

clay b : will this power a hensel RF 3000 p/pm-xs?RICHARD R : No. 1500 Joules max using both ports (1000 + 500 Joules). I run 1000 Joules (500 + 500 mono lights). A different box is used to power conventional Hensel strobes (Porty )RICHARD R : Sounds like a 3000 J strobe. That will pop the fuse on the MPG unit which can handle 1500 Joule load. I bought mine to use with Hensel monolights. At most you can run a 1000 J monolight in the first socket, and a 500 J monolight in the other, with the modelling lights off. Modelling lights consume a lot of power, but you can use them for short intervals to set up your shot, then flip them off before firing the flash. I use the pack with two 500 J monolights and it works very well. This is more than most artists are likely to need outdoors. You might want to ask Hensel about your particular strobe. They have a web site called Hensel USA (Google that) and will respond to queries by mail or telephone.

Rated 5 out of 5

Portable power

This is part of my Hensel Kit. I can run two 500 Joule monolights at the same time. If I had a 1000 Joule light, I could shoot with 500 Joules + 1000 Joules for 1500 watt-seconds total power. Short recycle time for a battery. Well-designed with ample reserves. This is for the contingency where no power is available--outdoors, or in buildings with no power.

VISIT MPG 1500, the portable outlet! (designed by Hensel Studiotechnik) AC power voltage anywhere you want it to be...

In the past, heavy and expensive generator sets were necessary to produce AC power on location but not anymore! The VISIT MPG 1500 inverter is the lightest mobile power generator available. The Mobile Power Generator measures only 23 x 13.5 x 32.5 cm (LXWxH) and is astonishingly powerful for its size!

It has two outlets which allow for the operation of a maximum of 2 x 500 J flash devices or 1 device with 1000 J and 1 device with 500 J of flash power. Of course, other electrical devices, such as laptops or personal computers can also be plugged in. The only requirement is that power consumption should not be too high (max. 300W).

A quickly replaceable battery drawer with a lead gel battery and no inconvenient memory effect serves as a power supply. With this system, a 500 J device can yield approximately 130 flashes at full power. If a modelling light is being used, the number of flashes is reduced.

Additional battery drawer increase the capacity accordingly and can be changed in seconds, thanks to the brilliant battery drawer system. The drawer are compatible with those of the HENSEL Porty 1200 B system and thus has multiple usages.

In total, there are three possible ways of charging the batteries: By means of a charger connected to the mains at any power outlet (110 V 240 V, automatic selection) or with the VISIT Car Adapter on all normal 12 V car batteries. Alternatively, the device can be charged using the VISIT Car Charger on the car cigarette lighter socket or by means of a 12 V electrical outlet.
