Bolt CBP-U Overview

B&H has put together this Bolt Universal Compact Battery Pack for Canon Kit for photographers who want to extend their shooting session while substantially shortening the recycling time of their flash. The pack requires four or eight separately purchased AA lithium, alkaline, or NiMH batteries.

Bolt Universal Compact Battery Pack

The CBP-U Universal Compact Battery Pack from Bolt extends the flash capacity and boosts the recycle speed of compatible hot shoe flashes. It is portable and runs on four or eight AA batteries, making it easy and convenient to use. The battery pack features universal connectivity with select Canon, Nikon, and Sony flashes via interchangeable power cords. Integrated thermal protection automatically prevents overheating and damage to the Universal Compact Battery Pack.

The CBP-U Battery Pack adds additional power to fire a flash again and again, while also gaining faster flash-recycle times-as quick as 0.7 seconds. This battery pack makes it easier for uninterrupted shooting during events like weddings. The battery pack operates from four or eight AA alkaline, lithium, or NiMH batteries, which provides the power needed for hundreds of full-power flashes. An integrated thermal circuit protects the battery pack from overheating. When it senses a problem, the CBP-U shuts down to prevent possible equipment damage.

The included soft case offers protective padding and has a belt loop to hang the CBP-U vertically or horizontally. The cinch strap along with the snap and touch-fastener closures keep the battery pack from falling out. A 1/4"-20 threaded mount allows the battery pack to attach the bottom of a camera or other 1/4"-20 threaded mounts. It can be screwed into the camera's tripod socket and provide the extra power needed for hours of work, in your hands.

NOTE: A dedicated power cord is required to connect the Bolt CBP-U to your Canon, Nikon, or Sony flash unit.

Bolt CBP-U Reviews

speeds recycle time

By Jim
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2022-06-27

I bought this to speed up recycle time and it does that fairly well. Its not as fast as something like a Quantum pack but I don't use it often enough ( a few times a year) to buy one of those. If you shoot weddings or the like for a living I would definitely recommend the quantum but for my more occasional and limited use this fit the bill.

Keeps flash going for extended periods of time.

I purchased this battery pack to replace an other one that used a rechargeable internal camera type of battery that would no longer hold a charge. To replace the battery was more than this unit cost. Love the fact this pack uses good old fashion AA batteries. Works perfect for my needs.

I have a Bolt Cyclone DR PP-400DR Dual Outlet ...

I have a Bolt Cyclone DR PP-400DR Dual Outlet Power Pack for my Lumix/Olympus camera...It looks like the power connection at the battery back would accept "my cable" in to the power unit and the connector for my GoDox 685 "O" would then be fine?
Asked by: Kevin
The Godox TT685O uses the same high voltage battery connector as Canon, so you can use the DR PP-400DR Dual Outlet Power Pack or this Bolt Universal Compact Battery Pack.

Is it compatible Yongnuo YN685 for Nikon?
Asked by: Bob
The 685 Yongnuo flashes use a Canon type connector even thought the shoe is made for Nikon. That being said, the Bolt Universal Compact Battery Pack for Canon, BH # BOCBPUCPCK would be the correct option to use. Please take a look at the following link: https://bhpho.to/3JrAQ8e

Does this pack work with Quantum and Godox cables for Canon and Nikon flashes? I have the Metz 58 AF 2 and no Bolt cable is offered , but will the Godox 58 cable or the Quantum CM-58 work with this pack?
Asked by: nicholas
The Bolt Universal Compact Battery Pack would not be compatible for use with Godox or Quantum Instruments power cables. It would only be compatible for use with the dedicated Bolt UN Power Cords listed under the Accessories tab on our website.
