Alec Watson, Digital Media Artist, On Tronix Explorer Mini
"I am a commercial photographer in Seattle and travel broadly for my advertising work. I ordered an Explorer Mini to run a Profoto D1 and am THRILLED with working with it. I just need things to work, but more than price, 25lbs seemed like a travel issue for me. I generally don't need to take 500 shots. 100 shots is more than enough. And the thought of having a couple of minis so I could split my lights up without running cables appealed to me."

Tronix Explorer Mini is a much lighter and smaller power supply solution -
the lightest battery pack among the Tronix Explorer product line.
At 400 Watts Continuous Power / 1200 Ws Peak Power Rating, the Tronix
Explorer Mini, despite its small size, packs the punch with its capability to
power up bi-voltage monoblocks/compacts (regular digital and analog compacts/monoblocks
as well). In addition, it can provide enough pops for a quick photoshoot, outdoor or on-location, at faster
recycling time (close to wall/AC socket). It weighs
about 5 kilos and the inverter measures 8cm x 19cm x 25cm.The whole
set up (with carrying case) measures 10cm x 20cm x 34cm.
Priced affordably at USD349 per unit, this
heavy-duty, highly reliable, complete setup (inverter, charger,
and carrying case/bag) allows any working photographer to carry his most
powerful monolights/compacts whenever, wherever.
Tronix Explorer Mini's key features includes: lightweight,
gives faster recycling time and wider compatibility to bi-voltage,
digital and analog flash units. Best recommended for powerful and
mid-powered flash units, and can also be used for regular analog and digital
flash units. (Tronix Exp Mini 115V/60Hz model supports 2
or more bi-voltage monolights while Tronix Exp Mini 230V/50Hz model can support one bi-voltage
monolight or two bi-voltage monolights (selected models)).
