Hensel Porty 12

13 years 4 weeks ago #42198 by Big Kevin
Towards end of this year I'm going to be picking up some new lighting equipment. I really want to do this only once so I'll be spending more money than I want to, to insure I'm getting something that will last for years to come. I have heard so much good about Profoto gear, and thought I had made up my mind with them. However I just came across Hensel and their "Porty 12" it's a power pack with battery and one head kit. Anyone have any experience with this combo or Hensel in general?

Both are bad a$$. I don't know much about Hensel, but do know that it's a great brand. Profoto is the $#@% if you ask me! You see many of the pro's using Profoto

Canon 7D, 15-85mm, 18-55mm, 70-200mm, 100mm Macro, Sigma 120-300mm, Speedlite 430EX II

I just looked up the Porty 12, that is one heck of a system. If I had the spare $3400 to spend on lighting I would go with that setup.

I use 4 Hensel Integra Pro 500 lights, 1 Hensel Ringflash for 3+ years. They are very reliable.
