- the ZEUS FLASH HEADS AND POWER PACKS won for the "Power Pack" category
- the VAGABOND II PORTABLE POWER SYSTEM won for the "Power Supply" category
- the Hot One Awards are given yearly to "honor the photography industry's
best new products"
- the February 2008 issue of Professional Photographer magazine is the "Hot
One" issue (it will include a photo and write-up of the winning products,
and we are running two ads in this issue)
"As the Hot One Awards continue to expand, the competition for each category
has heated up accordingly. For the 2008 awards, we had more than 220 total
products entered in 58 categories by nearly 150 companies. That makes the
2008 Hot One Awards one of the biggest, most comprehensive photographic
product competitions in the industry. Winners of a 2008 Hot One Award
should be proud that they have achieved recognition in such a competitive
and high-profile award process. Looking at this year's award winners, we
see a collection of advanced, forward-thinking products. The needs of the
modern photographer have been taken into account in each and every one of
these items. They demonstrate an ideal combination of technical
sophistication and user-friendly design. The 2008 Hot One Award winners
represent the best of the best in terms of advanced features, usability and
value for price."
