Recently, Nick Garbutt, an Award Winning Wildlife Photographer, took a 4 week long trip to Madagascar (an island nation in the Indian Ocean off the southeastern coast of Africa.). Nick took along the SolarGorilla & PowerGorilla Solar Laptop Charger Kit to keep his laptop charged and powered while in Madagascar’s remote areas where electricity was sporatic or even non-existent. Very pleased with the results, Nick stated, “My Work as a wildlife and environmental photographer takes me to some of the remoter parts of the world, places where electricity is often sporatic or non-existent. In today’s world of digital cameras, laptops and instant downloads, keeping equipment powered in the field is a consistant problem. Not any more. The combination of the Solar Gorilla / Power Gorilla is a compact, rugged and convenient solution that gives freedom and piece of mind. Recently, during 4 weeks in the field in Madagascar, I didn’t have to mains charge my Mac Book once!”
Nick Garbutt also sent some great photos of the Solar Gorilla and Power Gorilla in action while on his trip in Madagascar:
