I only use them for DSLR via the 240 socket. It happily runs both my Pentax and Canon bodies via main power sources.

The USB C socket powers my Raspberry Pi. It runs that fine, with 3 USB connections.

I have two of THESE. They have a 240 mains plug built in to them.

I use a mains adaptor with either my K3, K5ii or K-S2. It easily does a 4 to 6 hour shoot at night in cold weather. That is even with a lens heater in the mix. They even power all my astro kit as well. When using for astro, I have a Raspberry Pi (with a USB3 Camera plugged in), my mount, 2 x dew heaters and a DSLR being run by them.

They charge pretty quickly and come with all the kit to charge in your vehicle too.

For 80 to 90 quid they really are good.

I have been umming and ahhhhing about flogging this for ages. So I have decided to sell as I rarely if ever use it!

It is a Sigma Mirror Ultratel 500mm at f8.

It is in used condition, and comes with a Sigma padded case. It also has the original thread adaptor with a genuine Pentax K-Ring on it, as well as an M42 to K mount adaptor.

On ebay there is one for just over 100 quid. So I am quiet happy to accept a sensible offer.

Payment by bank transfer plus cost of RM SD.

I had to post a couple of letters, so I took my IR K20d with me! A short walk but a few images came out of it!

I like the colour one. It gives a better impression of depth and distance. The composition is near perfect.
