Digital camera reviews of Olympus SHV-01 High Voltage Flash Power Pack (for FL-50, SRF11, STF22 & FC01)
Digital camera Review: An ideal way to run all your flashes from one battery source
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the SHV-01 and a spare battery (7.2 V, 2.4 AH) pack with meter before leaving for a 14 day cruise. I left behind the charger trying to pack light and had no regrets. This system is able to deliver over 2000 flashes.
The SHV-01 outputs one long flexible cable with 2 voltages, a 6.0 VDC and 330 VDC line. These operate the selected flash head. The 6.0 VDC is used to run focusing lights and modeling lights. The 330 VDC charges the flashes capacitor.
The concept behind the SHV-01 is that you are carrying energy in a larger package than can be physically fit inside the flash, and deploying it through a connecting cable. The result is a larger number of flashes and a MUCH faster recharge time between flashes. If you are shooting indoor sports or other motion activites where you must do rapid fire flash photography the SHV-01 is a great tool. If you don't mind 8 second recycle times, then you don't need the SHV-01. Because of the forethought in that the Olympus FC-01 Macro Flash Controller (for use with TF-22 & RF-11 Flash Heads) and Olympus FL-50 Electronic Flash for Olympus C7070, E1, E300 & E500 Digital SLR Cameras are designed on the same body, the SHV-01 can be used with both of them. Additionally, you can forget the AA batteries with the SHV-01 as it carries a 7.2 V, 2.4 AH pack to draw power from. If you do use AA batteries, then they supplement the cycle times and number of shots.
The SHV-01 is the most powerful option to power flashes olympus makes. In most cases it can ready your flash in under 1 second (vs about 8 seconds normally with a good set of NiMH charged cells). The FP-01 uses C-cells in the grip to do the same thing as the SHV-01 with about 1/2 the effectiveness due to the lower supply voltage and smaller design (in the grip). The SHV-01 w/ an extra battery will do 2000 shots with no problem and no recharging.
