Flash Battery?

[Tyler138]

Hello,

I have a Canon 430EXii and was wondering can you buy a battery pack for them?? I have had a quick look but nothing. Think it would help out a lot with charging and such as i tend to forget the aa's.

Thanks,

Tyler

No. Not HV anyway.

Only the 580 series have the HV socket.

Quantum do an adapter (the MB2) to use the QB1 battery pack with the 430EXII. You'd be looking at about £240 for both from the likes of WEX.

i'll stick with AA's for know then.

Thanks

Its just 6 volts.

Doesn't reduce recycle.

What's the point?

It saves carring around the second 430EXII and 20 sets of Eneloops you could have bought instead? :shrug:

Canon put a HV socket on their 430ez's.

Why the hell they took it back off for later iterations I don't know.

Sometimes they just wind me up!

So people who need it buy the 580 and pay more? ^^ Canon knows how to make money :s

Nah, that's not it, they just like to wind me up.

Don't get me started on the wheel barrow full of Canon FD L glass I had to sell when they converted mount.

They must be about due another new mount by now
