The Olympus FP-1 Flash Power Grip allows the FL-50 electronic flash to be used as a grip-on type flash powered from 4 'C' (R-14) alkaline dry cell batteries. The power from the grip can be combined with the flash's own batteries in order to charge the FL-50 at a higher speed and increase the available flash emission count. It can also be used as a grip when using the SHV-1 Flash High Voltage Set.

Note! The RG-1 remote grip cable and FL-CB01 or FL-CB02 flash bracket cable, depending on the digital camera used are required.(not included)

Comments about Olympus FP-1 Flash Power Grip:

I was vary impressed when I took it out of the box it is vary heavy duty and easy to use, but the one big draw back is how the bracket is mounted to the camera at the base. It does not have an additonal pin to keep it from turning around on the base of the camera, so you have to keep on tighting it.

FP-01 Flash Power Grip is excellent!.

By Photo Hounds

from Australia

Comments about Olympus FP-1 Flash Power Grip:

Absolutely superb!Faster recycle times, longer battery life with NiMh cells.Modelling is almost infinitely adjustable, direct andindirect lighting.Close-up is so easy, the camera is easy to hold with orwithout the battery grip attached to the camera.Get the strap too, you'll never look back! I had one for myOM cameras too.Everything is simple to connect and use.I guess $249 sell price is a bit much to ask . . .

Expertise: Some-time pro, keen amateur the rest of the time

Problems Encountered: No problems at all

Previous Equivalent Item Owned: OM Bounce grip 2

Items I Recommend: Grip strap, good quality NiMh cells and an E3 :)
