The CAME-TV 2X Kit Q-55W Boltzen 55w MARK II looks to be a nice option for traveling shooters who want a self-contained, versatile lighting kit that can be powered in three different ways.
CAME-TV is no stranger to making traveling kits and I wish more manufacturers did the same thing. Having a fully self-contained lighting kit in a single, manageable case makes a lot of sense for solo operators or shooters who take a lot of flights with gear.
