Black Line Power Supplies

Introducing - The Speedotron Explorer 1500 Digital Portable Power Supply, the latest Black Line System innovation. Priced economically at $2100, the Explorer provides a cost effective solution to gas powered generators or high priced European portable systems for those location shots where electrical power is not available.

	The Explorer 1500 portable battery provides for up to 225 full power flashes and may be quickly replaced with a spare battery, "The Juice Box" (#11253) priced at $400. Each battery contains a universal recharging circuit which draws only 1.3 amperes max from 85 to 265 volts at 47Hz to 63Hz. The Explorer 1500 Digital can use electric current from nearly anywhere in the world without voltage adapters. The low current draw even allows recharging batteries with an inexpensive inverter connected to a car's accessory outlet! 9.5" x 5.4" x 11.7", 24.8 lbs.
Read the complete Press Release for the Explorer 1500 Digital.


Black Line Power Supplies are engineered and built to work under the heavy use of motor drive shooting, multiple-pop exposures, and long hours. They have custom engineered heavy-duty rocker switches, locking/quick release light unit connectors, and are encased in dust-proof, sealed cases (except the 2401sx, which has fan cooling to increase its duty cycle). Speedotron Power Supplies are backed by a 2-year warranty, with an optional Plus-3 Protection Plan available.
