Photokina Day 1 PORTY LITHIUM

Here are the new PORTY Lithium 6 and 12's at PHOTOKINA. As you can see very small and compact.  Weighing in at 12 and 13 pounds and the batteries can be charged in or out of the pack and you can see if the battery is good without putting it in the pack.  It has a measuring device not unlike the Duracel battery tester that was popular a few years ago that will tell you if what charge the battey has left.









Here is the top panel.  Really the only major change is the double arrows give you 1 stop jumps in power for quick changes.



The new charger for the Lithium batteries.  Full charge in 1.5 hours.  80% charge in less than 1 hour.  Don't know yet if you can use it to prolong the life of the batteries in the studio yet.






Hensel has changed the way the EH Pro MINI's cables attach.  I can see how this would be beneficial especially for tight spaces or overhead softboxes.  Less strain on the connectors.
