    Vagabond Mini

    has anyone used the Paul C. Buff vagabond mini? Also has anyone used it with non buff flashes? It says to be used only with his flashes but I've heard other not having problems using other brands.

    As long as the other light doesn't draw more power than a Buff strobe, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

    I use that product mainly with the Elinchrom 500 light and it ROCKS. I had 3 clients Sunday, shot over 600 pics with it at half power and still had 1/4 charge on the battery. I can't sy enough about it. Also sometimes i put my tethered laptop on it, and plug in a phone charger too while shooting. The battery is light and tiny but packs a major charge.

    Here is the light I use the bat for most:

    D700 | Nikon 24-70 | Nikon 70-200 VRII | 50mm f/1.4 | Manfrotto | pocketwizards | flashes
