Paul C. Buff Inc.

Description

Paul C. Buff, Inc.™ is an American manufacturer. We are unusual in that we sell our products only factory-direct. Because of this, we are able to offer our products to American customers at prices from 40 to 60% lower than other manufacturers for comparable quality products because of eliminating the normal discounts given to distributors and dealers. We try hard to maintain extremely customer friendly service and inexpensive, expert repair service within our facility, and provide absolute 60 day satisfaction guarantees and intensive sales assistance and technical support. Because of this, we are without question America's dominant and most respected supplier of professional photographic lighting equipment.

PowerMC2 Safety Notice We have identified a potentially hazardous issue with the PocketWizard® PowerMC2 Receiver when used in combination with the Paul C. Buff Einstein™ E640 flash units, especially the CE/433 MHz version sold in Europe. You may have received a previous message from Paul C. Buff, Inc. regarding this issue. In rare circumstances, if the PowerMC2 is connected to the Einstein flash and the Einstein flash is connected to a power outlet, exposed metal components like the USB port or antenna spring on the PowerMC2 can become electrified, posing a potentially serious shock hazard. If the PowerMC2’s antenna cover is broken, removed, or in any way damaged, DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY and contact PocketWizard. Customers in the United States may continue to safely use the Einstein flash and PowerMC2 with the power cord supplied by Paul C. Buff and a properly wired USA-style three-pronged power outlet (NEMA 5) or with the Vagabond battery pack. If a properly wired NEMA 5 power outlet is unavailable in your location, ALWAYS UNPLUG THE FLASH PRIOR TO HANDLING THE POWERMC2.

Units sold by PocketWizard’s authorized distributor in the USA after February 15th, 2014, or have serial number M2U194000 and higher, already have corrective safety features and warnings installed. Identifying features are “ www.pwpatents.com ” on the serial number sticker, and a yellow warning label.

As a USA manufacturer that deals only direct-to-customer, our company is simply not equipped to navigate through the maze of international regulations, taxes, duties, documentation, monetary exchange, and payment obstacles associated with global direct sales. Our primary concern is to continue to provide the highest level of customer service in the industry, and in order to facilitate this goal, we had to stop accepting orders from new international customers in 2009.

Flash Units: The Vagabond Mini™ Lithium is designed to provide portable power for one to four Paul C. Buff™ flash units. Flash units from other manufacturers may or may not be successfully used with the Vagabond Mini™ Lithium. We cannot make any claim for suitability with products from other manufacturers, nor can we accept any liability for any damage that might be caused to such equipment. We will, however, warranty the Vagabond Mini™ Lithium itself as well as any Paul C. Buff™ equipment it powers. Power Cords: The Vagabond Mini™ Lithium has two standard North American 120VAC, three-pronged power outlets on the front panel of the inverter. The power cords that arrive with Paul C. Buff™ flash units (the standard UPC15 or DA-UPC15) may be used as well as the optional shorter cord (VM-UPC3-120V) and optional longer cord (UPC25). To connect more than two flash units, a standard power strip / surge protector may be used. Choose a well-made power strip with grounded outlets. The proper power cord must be used with the system; simple cord adapters may NOT be used.
