…….will I fry myself?
That’s the current dilemma, do I fry myself financially and spend £150 on a Canon branded battery pack for my speedlites or get a cheap ‘replacement’ from Ebay for £20
Well….
….in this case price won the day. O.k. it’s probably not weather shielded and the quality is probably missing in places. But the reality is it’s just a battery pack but it’s £120 cheaper from an almost identical Canon branded item. I do prefer Canon branded items, however the official one is a joke in terms of price.
So will it fry me? possibly – but only the same way the official product can. I know what this product does, it provides a more powerful voltage directly to the flash head. In certain circumstances it could be quite dangerous – so I will not be using it in a pond, or heavy rain.
To accompany tonights typing I’m listening to Martin Gore’s Counterfeit EP.
/edit It arrived, and to confirm – I haven’t fried myself yet. Noticed that the device appears to be weather sealed at both the battery end and the plug. So maybe I can go flashing in the pond then :p
