FC PowerController - Combined Power Supply Unit, V-mount Charger and Controller for FC Series Lights
Imagine being able to charge V-mount batteries with the same device that serves as a controller and power supply for your lighting. Now you can do just that with the introduction of the innovative Nanlite FC PowerController.
The FC PowerController is a complete power and control solution that significantly expands the capabilities of the new FC-500C, plus the FC-300B and FC-500B.
It can power compatible FC series lights from V-Lock batteries and offers wired control of lighting settings. This flexible combination is ideal for shooting on the go, ensuring the FC-300B/500B/500C can operate seamlessly outdoors or in other environments without access to AC power.
Crucially, the FC PowerController can also act as a portable V-mount dual battery charger. It can charge one or two 14.4-14.8V or 26V batteries simultaneously by connecting to AC power using the power adapter included with each FC-300B/500B/500C.
By integrating all these functions into one convenient device, the FC PowerController meets the needs of a wide range of photo and video productions.
Operating with V-Lock Batteries
Connecting the FC PowerController allows the FC-300B/500B/500C to be powered by one or two 14.4-14.8V/26V batteries, providing freedom of movement without the limitations of mains power. The maximum output of each different fixture varies depending on the quantity and voltage of the V-Lock batteries used. For example, it requires two 26V high-performance V-lock batteries to operate the FC-500C at full power. Using a single 14.4V battery on the same light will limit the output to 30%.
The FC PowerController can also operate a fixture from AC power by connecting to the same power adapter included with the FC 300B/500B/500C kits. This allows connected fixtures to easily switch to battery power if AC power is disconnected. This is also convenient when fixtures need to be moved quickly around the studio or set.
Intuitive Control
The FC PowerController provides wired control for the FC 300B/500B/500C up to 3m away. Simply connect to the light fixture via the included connecting cable and take control of the light quickly and easily. There is a clear two-inch display for status indication, with two knobs and two buttons for adjusting settings. This makes it easy for users to control the device, even when mounted high.
Practical Design
The FC PowerController measures 130.6×135.5×204.5 mm and weighs only 1.61 kg. It can be easily carried or hung using the elegant integrated rope. Additionally, the unit is equipped with a quick release plate, allowing it to be mounted on a light stand or support using an optional quick release lighting clamp.
Efficient Heat Dissipation
The body of the FC PowerController is robustly constructed with an aluminum alloy body. It has three aluminum alloy heat sinks and an integrated fan. The fan operates quietly while providing heat dissipation, ensuring the best possible conditions for audio recording on set.
