Out with the old and in with the new!
That's what I said about the batteries in my speedlights not so longs ago. For as long as I could remember I was using just regular old Alkaline batteries to power my speedlights on location. Not only was I wasting a ton of money (while definitely getting my money's worth from my Costco membership), I was also wasting a ton of time waiting for my flash to recycle everytime I took a photo!I decided it was time to make a change...
The day was Amazon Prime Day 2016, Panasonic Eneloop Pro rechargeable batteries were 70% off so I thought "what harm could come from ordering some?" I also ordered a couple external charge packs for my flashes (which were not on sale but still really affordable.) Once the batteries arrived, they made such a difference that I ordered 12 more at regular price because I knew this would be a complete game changer! Check out the video below to see how different types of batteries effect your flash recycle time. You'll be amazed at the results!
If you have any questions please feel free to ask and I will do my best to respond in a timely manner.
