Comments about Lumedyne 400 Watt Second Action Power Pack:
I use the P4XX for stop action photography with a leaf shutter camera. The pack outshines any other lighting system with its power and quick strobe duration. The 400W/S setting allows for the unit to be placed roughly three times farther away from the subject than the typical conventional flash, while matching it in power. Thus, a looser composition is enabled as framing is not restricted by weak, closely placed flashes. The increased distance between subject and pack also creates a much more diffused and natural looking light.

Comments about Lumedyne 400 Watt Second Action Power Pack:
Great for action photography like Skateboarding and BMX in the middle of the day. Slightly larger than the 200w/s model which makes it hang out half in inch in a super trekker while a medium size battery is attached.
