Battery pack TPI Remopak  2342 for Nikon F36 motor.

What Nikon should of produced rather than their ungainly cordless pack.

Just as the F was the first very successful Pro 35mm SLR, the F motor was also the first successful battery driven electric 35mm SLR motor.  The motor was a big part of the F’s success, since it meant Nikon could do things its competitors couldn’t.   Strangely enough, the first self-contained motor with the batteries directly attached was NOT a Nikon product, but rather independent American product, the REMOPAK made in Los Angeles. Nikon copied their ideas to produce the F36 cordless battery pack!!  Before that, Nikon F’s used a separate battery pack designed to be worn on the photog’s belt or shoulder, with a connecting cord between the pack and motor.
