portable lighting solution, new portable battery pack

[catwalk.hudson]

I currently have an Explorer XT SE and it never failed me since I started using it. I am planning to buy a new set of portable batteries for my new lights. I would like to try other brands but I decided to delay my purchase when I saw this on Rob Galbraith's site:

Rob Galbraith DPI: Innovatronix unveils XT3, Mini portable power packs for studio flash

And this one is from Innovatronix website:

Innovatronix Incorporated | Explorer XT3 and Explorer Mini

Explorer mini looks very much alike with the Vagabond Mini, just my opinion though.

Just with an SLA battery. There's a guy on POTN that's going to be testing the new innovatronix gear and posting about it with photos. I'll link the thread when I'm not on my iPad.

i wonder how long it would power a light for.

 

[Village Idiot]

It's not how long, but how many shots. 400w/s light should get 1200 shots if the efficiency is the same as the xt se. They're trying to imorive use with multiple multi voltage strobes like the elinchrom d-lites, bxri series, and other similar lights.

But what do I know?

 

[catwalk.hudson]

Other details about the new products are said to be released mid or late this month. Still no updates on their website.

As for the Vagabond mini, continuous power is only at 120W, compared to Explorer 1200 (old model of Explorer) with 150W and Explorer XT SE with 350W. I hope the Explorer mini is an improved version with higher capacity, but who knows, I hope its worth the wait And how about the XT3?

dam&^% you guys......i was ready to order a vagabond mini this week.

I read somewhere that the power rating of the Explorer XT 3 willbe higher than 650 W. I'm thinking maybe it'll power around 50 percent more than the XT SE can , with the upgraded batteries (from 2x 12v 7 ah to 2x 12 v 9 ah). Beastly!

Good luck with that, I always find they are out of stock. If you find one in stock ever shoot me a pm k. I am looking for a portable power option for my studios rather than my flashes.

I'm guessing she means her monolights.

Which are flashes.
