The FC PowerController is a combined power unit, V-mount charger and controller expanding the capabilities of Nanlite FC-300B/500B/500C. It can power compatible fixtures from V-mount batteries and offers wired control of light settings. It also acts as a portable V-mount simultaneous dual battery charger, able to charge one or two 14.4-14.8V or 26V batteries at the same time. This flexible combination is perfect for on-the-go shooting, ensuring that FC-300B/500B/500C can work seamlessly outdoors, or in other environments without access to AC power.
By integrating all these functions into a single handy unit, the FC PowerController meets the needs of a wide range of still photography and video production.
Multiple Power Solutions
Connecting the FC PowerController allows FC-300B/500B/500C to be powered by either one or two 14.4-14.8V/26V batteries, providing freedom of movement without the restrictions of AC power. The FC PowerController can also run a fixture from AC by connecting to the same power adapter that originally came with the FC-300B/500B/500C. This permits connected fixtures to easily switch over to battery power if the AC power supply is disconnected. This is also handy when fixtures need to be moved quickly around a studio or location.
Using battery power maximum output of each different fixture varies depending on the quantity and voltage of the V-mount batteries used. For instance, it requires two 26V high-performance V-lock batteries to run the FC-500C at full output. Using a single 14.4V battery on the same fixture will limit output to 30%.
Intuitive Control
The FC PowerController provides wired control for the FC-300B/500B/500C at a distance of up to 3m/9.84ft. Simply connect to the fixture via the included connection cable and take control of the light quickly and easily. There is a clear two-inch display to show status, with two knobs and two buttons to adjust settings. This makes it straightforward for users to control the fixture even when it is rigged high up.
Practical Design
The FC PowerController measures 130.6×135.5×204.5mm/5.14×5.33×8.05" and weighs just 1.61kg/3.55lb. It can be easily carried or hung using the elegant in-built rope. In addition, the unit is equipped with a quick release plate on the rear, allowing it to be mounted on a light stand or truss using an optional quick-release clamp.
Efficient Heat Dissipation
The body of the FC PowerController is ruggedly constructed with an aluminum alloy body. It has three aluminum alloy heat sinks and a built-in fan. The fan runs quietly and at the same time ensures heat dissipation, providing the best possible audio recording conditions for the shooting scene.
