Using Tronix Explorer 1200 and Explorer XT
When a photographer goes out on location photo shoot, he is always posed with a problem of the availability of power on location. It can either be a remote site where power is not available or bringing a mile-long power cord isn't always a good idea.
For cameras, problem is solved by bringing lots of back up batteries. After all, these batteries are pretty small and lightweight. Laptops, other than bringing back up batteries, with improvements on battery technologies, some laptops can last 3 to 5 hours.
Now, with the lighting. Others will say, "use the natural or available light", but in most cases, it isn't enough or it would just won't work.
Others will bring a gas-gobbling generators, which are darn heavy and noisy.
Not to mention snotty models who might be a little distracted with all the noise it generates.
Not unless you bring a crew of 4 or 5 people, bringing and setting up generators would also be a good route to do.
Back in 2004, Innovatronix Inc came up with a portable power supply that is designed for handling these studio strobes. By coming up with a pure sine wave inverter, these power supplies allow the photographers in bringing their Elinchroms or Profotos or Alienbees on location. Then, the Explorer 1200 came out.
Pure sine wave inverters are needed because these $$$ lights need a clean voltage source. Cheap modified inverter or DIY battery packs, in most cases, cannot provide a clean power to the sensitive electronics of these studio lights.
Since then, Tronix Explorer 1200 became a popular photography gear for on location photography, gaining a worldwide following. A combination of built-like tank reliability, good performance and affordable price point - photographers get to enjoy their on location assignments.

The Explorer 1200 is a pretty straightforward piece of equipment. With its pioneering plug-and-play design, it hooks up to monolights fast and easy.
With more powerful strobes or monolights coming out, Innovatronix Inc came up with a follow up model in 2008, the Explorer XT. Designed to be more than twice powerful than its predecessor, the Explorer XT can give more power and recycles twice as faster.
Other than powering up studio lights or monolights, these Explorers can power up battery chargers, desktop printers, charge laptops and other small devices.
With more recent developments, an Auxiliary Battery Pack can also be hooked up to the Explorer XT, which enables it to give twice number of pops compared to its internal battery system. The Explorer XT can also be used to power up Handy Air Blowers.
Up until now, the Tronix Explorer power packs have been serving the thousands of photographers worldwide well. Allowing them to use any location as their studio, with mobility and flexibility, comes creativity.
