AT A GLANCE
Â
Dedicated to the Sony HVL-F60RM and HVL-F60M flashes, the FA-EBA1 External Battery Pack helps to reduce flash recycle times as well as provide more flashes per session. Using a battery magazine system, up to eight AA alkaline or NiMH batteries can be used to offer up to approximately 660 flashes per set of batteries, along with fast recycle times of 0.6 seconds. This magazine can also be used with just four AA batteries in place, and when in use, this pack will be used as the priority power source in order to alleviate power drain on the batteries in the flash.
The battery pack is dust- and moisture-resistant for use in inclement conditions and the cable connection points have been reinforced for improved reliability. Additionally, the included protective pouch can be used to mount the battery pack to a tripod leg or other stand for hands-free use.
High-speed continuous shooting, 0.6 seconds charge time
Cycle times of less than 0.6 seconds1Â provide the speed that professionals need for continuous shooting.
Fast battery replacement
A battery magazine system allows fast battery replacement. The battery magazine can be inserted in any orientation, minimising fumbling and lost time. Eight AA batteries are stored (it can be used with four AA batteries). The External Battery Adaptor for Flash (FA-EBA1) takes priority so that minimal demand is placed on the internal HVL-F60RM batteries.
Over 660 continuous flashes
660 continuous flashes1Â can be produced with fully charged batteries, providing the endurance needed for demanding professional applications.
Professional reliability
To meet professional use, reliability is enhanced. For example, cable stress relief has been carefully designed for maximum durability (see illustration). Seals around enclosure joints and a rubber magazine lid gasket minimise the possibility of dust or moisture intrusion.2
