I shoot a lot of boudoir, glamour, and portraits in Las Vegas. I often shoot in client's hotel rooms and got tired of the time and effort required bringing in studio strobes with all the cables and power cords. I used to work with an assistant to help with all the equipment and it was not efficient. I put together a total location lighting kit with Canon 600 series wireless battery operated strobes, lightweight stands, collapsible softboxes, and the AODELAN battery packs. I like to shoot fast and these battery packs never let me down. I keep my flashes at 1/2 power or less for most setups and I can shoot as fast as I want with every unit firing without fail.
The battery packs are well made and nice to look at and the having 12 batteries is great. They have just enough weight and the power cord is long enough to usually be able to strap them to the base of the stands so they double-down and help stabilize my lightweight lightstands as well.
I am very pleased that I purchased these packs. |

| This unit not only helps with recycle time of my Nikon SB910 it is a lifesaver for batteries. SB910 and drain a set of batteries real quick even when shooting at 1/4 power. When I first got the SB910 I would have to change batteries 2 or more times a night to keep up with my shooting. When I plug this unit in, the SB910 can make it through 2 or 3 nights of my typical outdoor shoots before needing batteries. The strobe itself must have some battery life in it for the 2 to operate as a unit but this external battery pack provides the power for the actual flash. Love the fact that this battery pack has LED lights to indicate the amount of battery life left in the unit. It holds 12 AA batteries but it performs well and provides long battery life. Carry case is not easy to attach to my person or belt but w a little creativity one can manage to keep this unit close at hand. |

I am a professional photographer and I couldn't have been more thrilled when Nikon released it's newest speedlight--the SB-5000. This new generation of speedlights used radio control instead of optical control and that flexibility is HUGE for professionals. After looking at all the options for battery packs, I chose this one because of the mix of small size, ease of use and price. IT was a great call on all counts!
It uses 12 AA batteries and powers the speed light for over 1000 shots. In fact, I haven't bothered to count. Before the COVID crisis, I was shooting 4-5 restaurants a week and the batteries lasted me over a month. And while I didn't know it at the time, the power-pack greatly reduces the recycle time for the lights. The SB-5000 is already a superior speed light with lots of power and faster recycle times than the other Nikon speed lights, but you'll notice a big improvement with these power packs. At lower power settings, the speed lights will allow you to shoot almost continuously and at higher power settings, your speed lights will recycle in about 1 second.
In my kit bag, I now carry three SB-5000s and three of these power packs and I can shoot all day and all night without worrying about needed to replace batteries. And all that for a fraction of the cost of other solutions. Highly recommended for anyone doing serious flash photography. |

| Purchased this item to photoshoot an event. My canon flashes take forever to recycle, so was looking for an external battery supply to speed up the process and give me more exposures. Was using 12 NiMH 2400mHh batteries in this holder plus 4 more batteries in the flash. Was able to get approximately 1000 images before the batteries got too low to charge. Great product. |

| Bought this for a small indoor shoot-low light that needs the support of my speed light. This product absolutely did what it's made for and definitely made the recycle time of my Canon Speedlite much faster (3-4 seconds delay and it's ready to go again) The case it came with makes it super handy to strap on my tripod, It seems you can strap it in your belt too! Overall, I am pleased, not sure yet for longer use, it uses a lot of batteries so I suggest buy rechargeable to make it worthwhile. |

As a professional photographer, no need to worry about switching out batteries at events.
Purchased 16 eneloop batteries. (4 for the flash) & was charged up all night for a 5 hour event. Only lost 1/4 of the power (indicator on the side) by the end of the night. recharged the batteries for next days event & level didn't even drop down. Took approximately 750 flash photos at each event with my 600EXII-RT flash & plenty of power left to take more. |

I’ve only used it once so far, but it lasted through an entire wedding and reception and worked exactly as I expected it to.
The constitution is sold and I love the case it comes with. With 12 batteries it is a bit big and a little heavy, but I use it attached to a light stand so it doesn’t matter to me, but something to think about if you carry it or attach it to your camera. |

| I'm so excited about these! I bought 3 for each of my flashes. I was able to make it through a whole wedding without having to change my flash batteries. I used to have to change them at least 2 times during the night so it was so amazing to be able to set them up and not worry about them dying. They really made the recycle time better too. Myself and my second shooter were both set up to the off-camera flashes and sharing them the whole night and didn't have any issues with recycle time or delay. I'm so glad I bought these, it's stepped me up to the next level! |

| ★★★★★ | Must have for flash photography. |

| I recommend this for anyone who needs to shoot flash on full power. I used this on two wedding already since I got it, it has only used two of the lines. I use it on a canon 600ex-ii rt. The refresh rate has improved significantly. I use it most of the time in a stand with a soft box, I tried using it on camera and having the battery pack on my belt and it is heavy so for that reason I leave the battery pack attached to the light stand and just take the flash when I must use the flash on camera. I recommend this setup for light travel and if you are a one men show doing photos with no assistant. |

| This piece of equipment saved my night. I photograph weddings a lot and without this I wouldn't have been able to do anything... I changed the batteries once during 10 hours and took over 2,000 photos.. and it kept up with me and worked extremely well with my flash. It was worth the money. |
