The Metz Powerpack P8 connects to the power pack socket of a Metz mecablitz via a flash cable. The battery magazine of this powerful power pack can hold a minimum of four and a maximum of eight AA batteries. Unlike external power sources with built-in batteries, the Metz battery magazine can be completely removed and quickly replaced. This saves the photographer valuable time and allows them to continue shooting immediately. With the sturdy transport bag, the power pack can be attached to a bag, belt, or the tripod socket under the camera. The power supply is perfectly matched to the flash unit and features overheating protection. By using the power pack, photographers benefit from faster flash recycling times and a higher flash yield. Faster flash recycling times and longer flash enjoyment: the Metz Powerpack P8 reduces the charging or flash recycling time by about 50%. Additionally, photographers can take up to three times as many shots without having to change the power source.
