Behind the Camera

Just a quick posting about a very useful bit of kit that I have had for a few years now and it is still as good today as when I first bought it. It is the Tronix Explorer 1200 from Innovatronix. A portable battery pack that enables the use of studio lights anywhere on location ... like today's shoot for my stock library photographed on the sea wall. The unit powered a 600w mono-block studio head fitted with a beauty dish. Slight fill from a 60 x 40" silver reflector. Model: Kayleigh, Hair & Make - up: Sarah Heap

The Tronix Explorer is comprised of an Innovatronix-designed 150 watt continuous (600 watt peak) pure sine wave inverter, charging circuitry and a 12V/12Ah sealed lead-acid battery. It's all housed in a sturdy metal case with a grippy rubber handle, and features two output sockets for either 115 V AC or 230 V AC power, depending on the unit purchased. I also bought the easy carry case for it which makes it a little easier to lug about!

The Tronix Explorer XT is a portable power supply (pure sine wave inverter) designed to power flash and power pack units for location shoots. Compared to other inverters, it uses a 24V power source and it is rated at 350 watts continuous power, 1200 watts peak power and recommended up to 2400ws. Equipped with two (2)12V, 7Ah sealed lead acid batteries and efficient circuit design that generates almost a thousand full power pops for 300ws flash units. It takes 3-5 hours to charge the unit.
