We just received our first shipment of New Lithium Ion Batteries, Chargers, Broadcast and Studio Lighting, and Camera Bags to fill existing in-house orders for our new lines.  I will spend a couple of days taking new pictures for our web site and on-line store before shiping out to clients.

Also, a photojournalist in Knoxville Tennessee will be meeting me between May 12 and May 22 at the replacement facility we are renovating.  He will be mounting these new batteries and a dual mount on his camera for testing.  I will ask him to inform this forum of his findings.

These lithium ion batteries are built to our specifications.  We have tried for years to get resonible rates in the US for injection moulding with no luck.  All the time loosing sales and profits.

Last year we went under contract with a line to our specifications with what we thought was the real manufacturer.  I had never dealt with China before.

Now we are really dealing directly with a manufacturer who also is building to our specifications.  This has enabled us to dramatically reduce our price structure and increase our sales volume, all good.

Since this first order has processed, the normal lead time will be about three weeks from date of payment. 

Relocating into an alternate facility affects our equipment for product we manufacture in house.  It does not affect product we order manufactured to spec for us.

You can see our new lines of:
