Hasselblad X System expands with Release Cord X and Battery Charging Hub

Hasselblad proudly expands its photographic tool kit for the #xsystem with the introduction of the new #releasecordx and #batterycharginghub. With Hasselblad’s full commitment to the development of the #xsystem, these two new accessories alongside the introduction of the newest XCD Lenses greatly expand the creative capabilities of the revolutionary mirrorless medium format #x1d50c.

The #hasselblad #releasecordx allows for remote shutter actuation, an invaluable tool when eliminating shake or vibration is paramount. A durable cloth-wrapped 90cm (36 in.) cable connects to the X1D-50c’s microphone input port and the remote’s simple single button operation allows photographers to keep vibration to a minimum. When autofocus is enabled on the camera, a single action swiftly starts autofocus and then releases the shutter. Holding the button down when in Continuous Capture mode allows for multiple frames to be captured, whilst setting the camera in Manual Focus mode allows for Release Cord X to re the shutter without delay. Its durable metal construction matches the adventurous endeavours of Hasselblad’s #xsystem users and its slim, ergonomic design ts comfortably in the hand. For seamless functionality, the X1D should be updated to the latest 1.22 rmware available at My #hasselblad.

The #hasselblad #batterycharginghub makes it possible for a #hasselblad photographer to streamline the battery charging process, allowing X1D photographers to go further with their creative pursuits. Its dual slots support the simultaneous charging of two batteries while an integrated USB Type-C connector supports mains power via an included power supply or from common external USB battery banks (sold separately). Front-facing LEDs indicate status and capacity when charging, or users can use the #batterycharginghub to check battery levels simply by inserting a battery and pressing a single button. The #batterycharginghub supports both rst-generation 3200mAh #xsystem batteries and current 3400mAh batteries, the latter of which support quick-charging up to 25% faster than the former. This equates to a completely replenished single battery in 2 hours 18 minutes, or dual batteries in 2 hours 48 minutes. First-generation 3200mAh batteries recharge completely in approximately 3 hours and completed charging cycles are indicated by an audible chime in either situation. With a durable metal construction and compact design, the #batterycharginghub is posed to simplify a critical aspect of photography and ensure that maximum creative vision can be achieved.
