We purchased Lanparte items from coollcd.com very recently. They shipped from Asia quickly (delivered in under a week) and provided responsive customer service. Can't tell you if they have the items you seek.
 
I don't think Lanparte has a USA distributor. I received a bad follow focus and I asked Lanparte about a USA distributor and it sounded like they did not have an official USA distributor, so they just mailed me a new one that works great. I then mailed the defective one back to them. Solid company for sure.
 
Hey Kerrigan, It looks like you have sold all of the stuff I'd have been interested in. Wish I'd seen that Nikon zoom lens earlier. I ordered the Anton gold mount Power Pinch from Coollcd.com so next is buying some batteries, probably go with Switronix.
 
The Lanparte Power Pinch arrived from China in 3 days (I'm impressed). Seems solid but now I'll be working on adapting the cables that come with it to power my accessories (Cineroid, Camera, 7Q, follow focus).
 
OziRig actually distribute and sell LanParte in the USA :)

We also usually have some sort of discount going on for DVX guys, including the same pinch here at $192 AUD shipped.

Right now we just have a mailing address in Miami but in around 3 months' time we'll be opening up a showroom in Seattle/NY so peeps can stop by and play.
 
Nice. So is there a promo code? I will buy my batteries from you guys. Is the charging capabilities of the Power Pinch solid? Would you recommend charging other brand batt.s on it? I see you have two brands of gold mount batt which do you recommend, the Lanparte or the Farseeing?
 
Yeah; there should be a promo code working for free shipping: FREESHIPDVX and a promo code for getting the pinch at $192 (shipping included): DVX192.
The DVX192 only applies to the ABP-01 or VBP-01 (Gold Mount/V-Mount Pinch) whereas the FREESHIPDVX applies to all orders :)

The pinch does a really awesome job of charging and running everything all at once. We've got a few customers who have been using close to 2 years now and haven't heard any issues with reliability either :)
You still want to be wary not to unplug the HDMI cable while it's all running however as it's not hot-swappable.

In terms of batteries, they are probably using the same cells (LPT vs. Farseeing) so just stick with whichever is cheaper.
The design of the LPT enclosure is a bit sexier if that matters to you, haha.

We have more experience with the LPT gear as we've sold a lot more of them, but we've been doing both brands for quite a long time with no issues. I've only had one LPT battery go funny where the LCD display stopped working but that appears to have been a once-off as I haven't been able to duplicate it since.

There have been some small delays with batteries lately because DHL introduced some stricter security requirements a few weeks back.
Instead of 3 days it might take up to 7 days if a battery is included because now it needs an extra 2 day stay in Hong Kong before it can fly out.
Depending on where you are in the world we either send from our storage in HK or directly here from Australia :)
 
Hey Josh, I already own the Power Pinch but I need Batteries. Is there a code just for LPT batts? Do you have the lower wattage batts that can be taken legally on plane travel?
 
Hey mate,

I'll shoot you a PM with the details; the free shipping code works on all items :)

Farseeing do a range of battery sizes whereas the LPT ones are just in the higher capacity (150Wh and 130Wh).
I'll need to check up on what the latest limit is for airline travel (they are constantly changing) but bear with me and I'll get some more info over your way.
