Hitting the road or heading out to a nearby location? The Togo Pioneer 500 Portable Power station may be the answer to most—if not all—of your power needs. We’re so dependent on power that shooting in the field or anywhere that wall outlets aren’t available (or conveniently located) can pose real challenges for any photographer or videographer.

Built around a 461Wh battery, the Pioneer 500 Power Station is capable of powering and charging a wide variety of devices on its 9 ports. These include a trio of QC USB 3.0 quick charge ports, two pure sine wave AC outputs (so you don’t have to worry about damaging delicate electronics), a 12-volt car output, two DC outputs and a USB-PD 60W outlet along with a 10W wireless charging pad for your mobile devices. The station can power smaller lights including LED and COB lights under 461Wh. But before you plug in your studio strobes, check the specifications to make sure they’re compatible, will get enough power from the Pioneer 500 and won’t be damaged in the process.

But you’ll find plenty of outlets for everything from laptops and monitors to battery chargers and powering cameras, especially those that make use of USB-PD technology including Apple USB-C devices and cameras like the Panasonic Lumix S5 that feature in-camera charging. If you tether on location, the Pioneer 500 should keep your shoot going for many hours.

Although it’s not waterproof, protective covers prevent damage to the ports and a rugged design means it can withstand the rigors of the outdoors (although we wouldn’t expose it to a downpour).

The power station itself can be charged via an AC wall outlet, car charger and solar panels. While the appropriate cables and adapters are included, you’ll have to supply the solar panel (Togo Power has a portable solar panel just for that use). Power management data is supplied via the LCD display with information about remaining usage time, low battery alarm, total output watts, low voltage and temperature warnings and more. To maintain battery health, Togo recommends preventing the station from discharging fully, especially when storing the device for long periods of time. It’s best to fully charge the power station before storage and recharge it at least once every three months so be sure to mark it on your calendar if you’re not going to use it for a while.

In addition to location shooting, the Pioneer 500 is handy to have on hand if you like to go camping and prefer not to disconnect from power-dependent niceties. And if you experience power-outages in your home or studio, the Pioneer 500 will help ensure you can still take care of business (well, at least move forward with some tasks).

The Pioneer 500 weights 13.4 pounds and measures a compact 11.4 x 7.9 x 7.8 inches. It’s currently available at adorama.com for $450.

If your power needs are less intensive and you want a lighter, smaller power source, check out the new Togo Pioneer 330. It’s built around a 288Wh lithium-ion battery and offers all of the same features, although it has 8 instead of 9 power ports. The Togo Pioneer 330 weighs a mere 8.6 pounds and measures approximately 9.0 x 6.6 x 7.0 inches. It’s currently available at adorama.com and sunnysports.com for $289.
