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 XT SE (Special Edition) - designed
to be compatible with the bi-voltage/digital monoblocks, and is now on regular
ordering. We have tested the
full compatibility** and safety for usage of Explorer XT SE units to the following
monoblocks:
Hensel
Integra Pro Plus 500 / Elinchrom BXri 250/500 / Profoto Compact 600R
It has the same
functionality and reliability of the current Explorer XT models but is only
optimized to work with multi-voltage monoblocks, as listed above. Our guarantee for these Explorer XT units is compatibility, safety and
reliability to the three (3) monoblocks. (As more and more customers use
the Explorer XT SE, if your autovolt strobe is not listed above, it is
COMPATIBLE with the Explorer XT SE. See updated Tronix Explorer
products compatibility chart
and new Tronix Explorer models,
Tronix Explorer Mini and Explorer XT3).
Similarly, these Explorer XT units come with our customer
satisfaction guarantee and warranty programs. (On buying any Tronix products,
customers enjoy the 30-day satisfaction guarantee where they can return
the product if they are not satisfied with their purchase for a full refund and
a one-year warranty, where customers can return the product for repair
service or replacement).
Photographers will always have to
face a situation of shooting outdoors. Most often, in locations where
electricity is not always available and when natural light isn’t just enough.

The technically superior Explorer XT/XT SE, rated at 350 watts** continuous power, 1200watts peak power
and recommended up to 2400ws, is designed as a portable power source for most
flash and power pack units. Just like the Explorer 1200, the Explorer XT makes
your studio lights mobile and portable. With the new Explorer XT, it reduces
recycling time for flash units over half, providing more power and better
performance compared to the previous model. (**Now
increased at 350watts)
Equipped with two (2) 12V, 7Ah sealed lead acid batteries, the Explorer XT is designed to be a better
and more reliable portable power supply solution. With loads of up to 2400ws
which the Explorer XT can manageably handle, the Explorer XT is a total
improvement from the Explorer 1200! More digital flash/power packs are expected to be compatible due to its increased power rating.
A pioneer in plug and play portable power solution - it has an auto volt-charging feature which
accepts 100-240V. It also has a 14V car battery charging where an internal
circuit converts the 12V/14V source to a 24V. It also has an auxiliary battery port,
allowing the user to connect another battery in case the stored power is not
sufficient for an all-day photo shoot. Battery power level indicators with
beeper and charging indicators come in handy to monitor the user's power consumption and charging status making the Explorer XT a very user-friendly
power supply.

opening and easy-access top pockets. For more info, click here.
The Auxiliary Battery Pack is now available as an optional back up power. It
is an external battery pack powered by a two (2) 12V, 12Ah SLA batteries
(compared to two (2) 12V, 7Ah internal/built in batteries), giving
more power for longer photo shoots. For more info on Auxiliary Battery Pack, see
related article below.
**Note: Tronix Explorer 1200 and Tronix Explorer XT have been discontinued
and on clearance sale until supplies last.
Product Performance: Recycle Times and Battery Life
The Tronix Explorer XT is a device which produces a clean 115Vac or 230Vac from a 24V battery from a
fully engineered circuit. It is recommended for most flash units up to 2400Ws.
Hence, you can connect as many as eight (8) to ten (10)* monoblocks/flash units
to a single Tronix Explorer XT / Tronix Explorer XT SE unit. (*depends on the
power load of the monoblock or flash unit.)
Note: Flash recycling is a function of three (3) factors: (1) the state of battery
charge; (2) the electronics design of the flash itself; (3) the maximum power
output of the inverter;
**The specifications stated herein are based on worst case
scenarios. Most strobes that are tested when the battery is fully charged.

Maintenance Tip: You do not
need to plug the unit to the convenience
socket for charging all the time. While it will
not overcharge, but if you find it inconvenient or
you find the unit's buzz during charging annoying,
you only need to fully charge for a few hours and
disconnect it thereafter. When not in use, make
sure to charge the unit once in a while, a few
times a month then unplug after a few hours. It is
important to note that, storing the unit for more
than 3 months without using or charging will
damage the battery set - hence, charging it once
in a while will help in maintaining the batteries
in good, working condition.
