The Phottix PPL-400 Studio Strobe
Phottix is proud to kick off 2011 by announcing it’s PPL-400 Battery Powered Studio Strobe (PPL=Phottix Portable Light).
You don’t want to drag that giant studio light on location – and buy a huge, cumbersome power pack to keep it fired up. The PPL-400 is a great alternative. Don’t worry about mains power – take you power and strobe with you in a convenient carrying case.
The PPL-400 Studio Strobe is compact and powerful. All digital with ITBT technology, the PPL-400 offers 400W of power adjustable over 7 stops – from full to 1/64 power. With recharge times of 1-3 seconds, a ready tone, continuous and FP modes, optical slave and a modeling lamp, this strobe is big power in a small package. An included umbrella holder and handle make this strobe adaptable – use it on a light stand or have an assistant hand-hold it.

Weighing in at 900 g the PPL-400 fits nicely into its padded carrying bag. The Bowens adapter (not included) makes this strobe compatible with many Phottix soft boxes.
The included high-capacity 7.2A power pack can fire a blistering 650 full-power flashes. The power pack can also be attached to compatible Nikon or Canon flashes, providing extended use and fast recharge times.
The Phottix PPL-400 is available from your local Phottix retailer or the Phottix Online Store.

Sounds pretty cool but how much is this going for..?
Does this have a replaceable flash tube??
Hello:
Yes, the tube is replaceable.
HI,
I have 2 questions here,
1. How much does it cost to get the tube replace?
2. Where can i get the power cable for the batt pack to be connected to Nikon SB800 & SB900
Hi
Could you please point me in a direction where I can get a little more info regarding the Modes: Manual, Multi, Continuous, Multi Continuous.
Do you need to shoot TTL do achieve these modes?
Regards
