Brunton Solar

[Zach Matthews]

Hey guys –

Does anyone have any experience with Brunton’s line of solar-powered accessories?

[Grant Wright]

I’ve never used a solar powered accessory, but I do own a small Honda generator that is great. The price for solar items will need to drop before I can justify pulling the trigger.

First you’ve got to get enough time off of work to drain the camera battery in the first place…

I think it photographer/guide Nick Didlick uses portable solar panels to charge cameras and computers when on remote location.

[Zach Matthews]

Nothing yet; I am just going to see about testing some of this stuff.

Ok guys, I received a Solaris 26 (the biggish fold out pad) and a Solo 7.5 battery from Brunton to do some tests on.
