Looking for a new power pack
I'm looking for a new power pack for outdoor shoots. Something light weight because we sometimes hike awhile during a shoot.
What do you guys use and why?

Vagabond has a fairly good name...
AlienBees: Illuminating the Galaxy with Professional Photographic Lighting Equipment Being a cheap SOB, I had a bag about that size, stuffed an old motorcycle battery in it and hooked up a power inverter. I get about 1000 recycles on a single stobe using this set up. I just recharge the battery using a trickle charger. Yes, it is ghetto, but it was stuff I had lying around and saves me $300...... (plus it is in a black bag so you can't see what is driving the stobes(s))

hmmm good idea. I had been using one of those power units for cars that have the jumper on it and lights but they dont last a long time.
Having a coupl eof scoots myself I'm sure I could russle up a battery or 2. Thanks for the great idea!

Another vote for the Vagabond. I don't own one myself, but on another forum there are loads of people that have them and swear by them. Paul C. Buff Co. customer service rocks, too.
