And that gives you 120v right out of that box?

Yes, for studio strobes. It works great. I had an earlier model of it about a decade ago.

Things to know here: USB is only .5 A. Would never work for
usb dummy batteries at least for Canon 70D.
Total of 130 watts for 1 hr enough?
Just asking;

Yes I also have used the ones from Paul C. Buff, they make this Vagabond one; and used to also have an even larger one. They work great.

Have you looked into the solar powered generators? I see them advertised.

The Buff units nice, and pricey, but they don't do anything more or better than most of the pure sine wave solar generators/battery banks will do and they have the multiple outlest you need, AC/DC outlets, USB up to several amps, etc. I can power (AC or DC) large hand tools like drills/impact wrenches/small to large refrigerators/fans/tv's/radios/air compressors and many other devices. Just determine how much power you need, for how long, do the math, and how much you want to spend. No negatives on the Buff unit, other than price, and the current models power capacity is on the low side at 130 WH.

My business sells Honda Generators. They are extremely quiet, lightweight and I'm told more stable than what we get from the power company. Would be happy to forward you info if you would like or just search Honda generators to get up to date info.

As some else mentioned, a small generator. Honda makes a small one that is very quiet,...... years ago I put it on the rear deck of my sailboat (Pearson Ariel (25)) and worked a field day at anchor in the bay. think it was in the $300 range but just sips gas....we ran the radio just 3-4 feet away from it, no problem... de k2edm

It's either batteries or a generator. If you use a generator one must make sure the voltage output is regulated. If not, the voltage variance could damage your equipment. You could consider a new Ford F150 that comes with a built in generator.

Depending on your needs, it might be less expensive to just go to LED lighting... However, there are a lot of various portable power stations available that you can charge that produce a sine wave. See:
