Those photos are probably in the default HEIC format. They can be easily converted to jpeg. The method varies depending on if you are using macOS or Windows.

I purchased a similar one from Vince a couple years ago and it is top notch. He does superb work. Do not hesitate to grab this for your Pinz.

Re: PinzSSI REDUX

Yes, I looked at getting one of the Pinztronix; again to shelf until needed. In the introductory thread it said "5 left in stock". What is the ongoing supply and support for the Pinztronix? thanks!

Re: New Optima lithium Orangetop coming

Thank you, yes it makes sense and confirms my thoughts as well. I do a lot of portable amateur radio and use a lot of LifePO4 batteries. Fortunately my primary vehicle charges at about 14.4v and does fairly well with them.

Re: Batteries

Thanks Ron as always. I just wondered. I usually have a couple 12+v batteries with me for radios that may power the pinzssi but not be good for cranking.
