Product Description
Kaavie External Flash Power Battery Pack for Canon is fully compatible with original Canon CP-E4 battery pack. The External Flash Battery Pack is an external power source for a much higher flash capacity. This high performance power pack is a light, external power source designed for Canon 580EX II, 580EX, 550EX, MR-14EX and MT-24EX flashguns. When this battery pack is connected to the flash, the recycling time will be reduced to approximately 1/3 of the original value, and the number of flashes will be increased by approximately three times. NOTE:
You need to put the batteries in your flashgun first, otherwise the battery pack may not work properly. The battery pack just work as an extra power supply, and the batteries in the flashgun must have enough power to fire the flash, otherwise the flash pack also may not work. Please make sure there are batteries in both flashgun and battery pack. Compatible flashgun models: Canon 580EX II, 580EX, 550EX,MR-14EX, MT-24EX. Package content: Flash battery pack x 1pc, Protection case x 1pc, 1/4" Camera connecting screw adapter x 1pc, Instruction manual x 1pc.

This unit costs less than a Canon Speedlite lead for my Quantum power pack! To be honest my expectations were not high, but I needed the extra power and the recycle speed boost. Well was I surprised? You bet I was, and pleasantly so. The pack easily kept pace with my Canon 5d Mk2 on several outings at both weddings and parties. Over enthusiastism could quite easily fry your flashgun! So be careful. The literature advises no more than 20 flash bursts at any one time, allowing the unit to cool before continuing. However switching to a second flashgun overcomes this. As far as I am concerned it has paid for itself already. During a portrait session I used both this unit and another Speedlite + Quantum combo without "dropping" a flash. I will not bore you with a description of the unit. The sales blurb covers that. Would I recommend it to a friend? Absolutely.

Bought two of these as the Canon one was WAY too expensive for what is essentially a plastic battery box. These are well made and very very similar to the Canon one. Recycle times for my Canon 580EX II flashguns are now just over 1 second for a full power flash and well under a second for less than that. I use Energiser Lithiums and these are lasting for ages - two weddings so far without battery changes - fabulous! Get one when they are back in stock!

This is a superb bit of kit for anyone using Canon flash guns, though not the 430EX II for some reason. It holds 8 AA batteries with another 4 in the flash itself and can keep up with a Canon 50D firing at 6.5 frames per second in short bursts; though I would not try this too often as the flash circuits are not built for it, but on the odd occassion it is fine. The pack can be mounted to the tripod bush of the camera, on a belt, or wrapped a round a lightstand via the velcro strap. I've used this heavily since November and it is still on the first lot of batteries, including doing a birthday party where I took over 150 shots on the night with flash. If you want quick recycle times and don't want to be replacing batteries too often then this is the product for you, and it's far cheaper than the Canon original.

A good battery pack
I bought this for shooting weddings after seeing a friend using one. The build isn't quite the same as Canon's own BUT for less than half the price price it performs just as well. Read more
