Performance
Archival gear reviews by Shutterbug and discussions on DPReview say that users regard the Travelite 750 as a robust, dependable workhorse that offers great value on the used market. Photographers note that while they lack digital controls or remote power adjustments (requiring manual dial changes on the unit) and are slightly heavier than modern ultra-portable lithium alternatives, they remain tough, reliable studio units compatible with classic portable power packs like Bowens Explorer battery systems.
A comparable system would cost you nearly $1,000. Get this great workhorse of a kit for just $350.
