| LibertyPak Little Genny LG400 provides premium portable power for strobes |
| The LibertyPak Little Genny LG400 portable power pack combines a regulated pure sine wave 115VAC inverter and 360 watt-hour lithium ion battery into a compact gear case that, in our testing, can power a 600ws monolight for over 1000 full power pops with consistent recycle times comparable to AC wall power. We've been using a Little Genny LG400 through a steady diet of sports team and other group photo shoots since August, and it has become an indispensable - though expensive - part of our location lighting kit. We have an in-depth look at this intriguing location power option. |
