Technology has changed and Nickel Cadmium batteries can no longer be trickle charged or heated during the charging process.

Super Batteries provide twenty-five more flashes per charge with no memory effect and battery life is dramatically extended.

Our prorated battery warranty provides full replacement during the 1st year of service, 50% discount during year 2 and 25% discount during year 3.

WARNING - Charging Super Batteries with Norman's discontinued gray Thermomatic charger will severely shorten battery life and void the battery warranty.

Q: 1. What would I need to make the norman A400b work on Canon 7d mark ii?

A: The Norman light kit has a built in Pocketwizard receiver. All you need is a transceiver to attach to the camera. This is one that is compatible, PocketWizard PlusX Transceiver B&H # WIPWPX MFR # PW-PLUSX-FCC.

Q: 2. Is there an egg rate grid available for this?

A: There are no egg crates designed specifically for use with the Norman 60 Octagonal Softbox. It is possible that the Impact Fabric Grid for Medium Octagonal Luxbanx (60 ), B&H # IMLBGOM, or the FotodioX Pro Eggcrate Grid (60 ), B&H # FOEGG60OCTEZ, may work for your usage needs. However, as the Norman 60 Octagonal Softbox is a special order item, we have no way to test the above. However, if you wish to purchase either of the egg crates, they are both returnable if they do not work for your usage needs. You would have 30 days from the purchase date to return the item for an exchange or refund if it does not work for your usage needs.

Q: 3. What is the life span of this battery ? and how do you dispose of it when it's not charging any longer ?

A: The manufacture does not give the battery a specific life span. There are many different variables like is it partially charged or full or empty and if the battery sits. This all can change the battery life of the battery.

Q: 4. will this flash mount up to my canon 7d mark ii or do I need a kit and if so what kit is it?

A: Due to the weight of this head, it would not be ideal to mount it directly to the hot shoe of your 7D Mark. You would be better off using a flash bracket such as the Stroboframe Quick Flip 350 Bracket for 35mm Cameras B&H # STQF350. You can then add an adapter like the Kupo Mini Ball Head with Hot Shoe Adapter B&H # KUKG010011 to the bottom of the flash head which will slide into the cold shoe of the bracket. Please see the images below.

Q: 7. Does this adapter do the same job as Mola Speed Ring for Elinchrom ? According to the manufacturer, Mola beauty dishes are compatible with Speedotron speed ring and I though that maybe Speedotron and Norman speed rings are the same.

A: Unfortunately, this product does not work with the Mola Beauty Dishes. The appropriate ring for Speedotron flash heads to a Mola Beauty Dish is the Mola Speed Ring for Speedotron B&H # MOSRS. Please see the image.

Q: 8. Is there a speedring that can adapt the Norman Strip Softbox to a Bogen strobe head?
