Questions & Answers

Shopper : will this unit power 2 Profit 300R compact strobes?STEVEN C : It should, I've used my to run 2 500w Photogenics with no problems.
PETER S : This is another convenient unit that intrigues me for "mobile" streaming video setup. The camera and mounts are powered on their own. I just need to power a MacMini computer (like a laptop in terms of draw). I wonder how long something like that could stay on with a power source like this? Thanks.Elisha W : I don't think you are supposed to use it for continuous output. I think it is made specifically for flash units. You may want to contact the manufacturer or read the manual to see its uses.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?Joe T : Seemed like the best choice for on location use of studio strobes.

Nice product, works great!!

So far I have used it with two of my 750w strobes and I fired off about 60 shots and the battery indicator was still showing a full charge, easy to set up and use and it comes with a spare battery. Im sure you can shoot away all night with this and not have to worry ..

Very nice battery pack

Used with Elinchrom moonlights, and have not had any problems getting expected results. I have not counted the amount of flashes compared to the power level of the lights, but have never run out of charge on a shoot with the first battery yet.

Travel anywhere system

Event locations. Batteries charge quickly. Use of one light per unit.

Must have!

The photogenic ion kit is perfect for on location shoots. I travel pretty light when it comes to on location so this pack works for me. I travel with a couple Hensel 500 ws monolights and rarely use them at full power so this battery kit will allow me to get quite a few pops out of one battery. Having a backup battery is also very crucial. The only drawback is that you can not use a modeling light with this pack. It states that it might short out due to the high capacity. None the less, it's a great addition to my bag.

Seems okay.

Simply a lightweight pure sine wave inverter. Very nicely designed and pretty much plug and play. Runs LED's very well but it is not made to run CFL's, well not the ones I have anyway. Do not mistake a "strobe" as including the modeling light. Does fine charging capacitors but wouldn't power modeling lights. (I tried several different brands of monolights Photogenic included. I will try other lamping options in the future.)

Whew- This thing rocks. "No Cords"

Using speedlights is fine. I use them more than any other light source, but with this pac, I had my assistant carry 1 of my strobes with softbox attached to get lighting I could not achieve with speedlight. I shot for several hours and only dropped 2 bars... Im estimating that's about 35% used leaving 65% for the reception that was outside at night.......

Lots of Juice on a Single Charge

By ROBERTO M.

I shot a wedding all day long on a single charged battery. I love it!

When you need a reliable and portable power solution for your photography equipment, look no further than the Photogenic ION Lithium-ion Pure Sine Wave Inverter System with Spare Battery. This lightweight, high-quality inverter system is designed to power your studio strobes, whether you're on the road or working in locations without access to electricity. Forget about noisy generators or bulky old-style inverters; this compact device weighs only 3.5 lbs and measures a mere 7.5 x 4.4 x 3.3 inches, making it an ideal companion for photographers on the go.

The ION Inverter System is not just about portability; it's also about performance. Depending on the flash head in use, it can deliver hundreds or even thousands of full power flashes. For instance, when paired with Photogenic's 1,000W/s PL1000DR, you can expect up to 300 full power flashes from a fully charged battery. With the AKC160, this number jumps to an impressive 2,050 flashes.

To ensure you're never left without power, Photogenic includes a spare battery with the ION Inverter System. Want to extend your capacity even further Simply purchase additional batteries, which can be charged separately from the inverter. For added convenience, extra chargers are available to charge more than one battery at a time.

But the features don't stop there. The ION Inverter System also comes with a USB port, allowing you to power computers and other electronic devices. An LED "fuel gauge" lets you check the remaining power at a glance, ensuring you're always ready to capture the perfect shot.

The package includes the ION Inverter, a battery, a charger, a light stand clamp, and a strap. With the Photogenic ION Lithium-ion Pure Sine Wave Inverter System with Spare Battery, you're investing in a versatile, durable, and reliable power solution for all your photography needs.
