How many flash with 300w
I've posted a youtube.com video on my channel on how to diy an extension cord for the godox pb-960 battery pack for under $25. This extension cord uses an oem godox 15 feet cord, the video can be found here: https://youtu.be/yjAAXJWUnCM
Check inplix instructions if you'd like to make it better and cheaper 🙂
So in the end you decided to go buy the Vagabond mini? I'm confused, I followed to the blog post and at the end it says your rig died after 5 shots with 2 640WS lights being shot at once.
Hi excellent tutorial, I have a question the 300w inverter can with three 300w heads
This DIY solution is ok for a few uses only. 7 seconds to recharge studio flashes when the battery is full charged but what about the duration after 20 or 50 shots ? Pb batteries are not designed to support this kind of load, unfortunately !
wow! that's portable 🙂

About how much did this DIY cost? I'm looking to build my own because I obviously can't afford a $1000-$4000 portable battery pack. If anyone can answer this, that would be super helpful!
молодец хорошо придумал
I would spend the $250
How often can you trigger a single flash before the battery is empty?
Thank you Alex for this video. I would like to see more like this or if you make any modifications.
U left out those wires.. What's the name of them exactly or they came with the inverter or battery and what's the exact name for the charger
you did not really show how you build it
Hi Alex. Thanks for your video. Loved it very much. But i wonder. Didn't you have problems with heat building up in the power converter when using your diy powerpack. grtz Martin
IVe had this same setup for many years. works great with any light that can be run off of 110V I use with up to 7 sunpak 611 flashes with AC adapters
You made my day! great job, but I have a question, Can I use this kind of pure sine ?http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300W-600W-Peak-PURE-SINE-WAVE-POWER-INVERTER-WITH-SOFT-START-DC12V-AC240V-/360488869620?pt=UK_Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM&hash=item53eecf9ef4 is it gonna work? with (Power Sonic 12V 35AH (33AH 34AH) Deep Cycle AGM Battery Mobilty & Golf Trolleys
)??
I am trying to build something similar to this to use with 2 1000w dynamite packs with 2 heads per pack. My requirements are not about recycle time as I shoot with an 8×10 camera so by the time I shoot again it's been over 30 seconds. Since I suck at understanding electricity I was wondering if you could tell me if I need to get a 1500w sine inverter or will a 500w or 300w inverter will do to power my packs and heads consistently. I seem to be under the impression that the high wattage inverter will give you a faster recycling time, than a 300w inverter, but since I don't care about recycling time, would a 300-500w sine inverter do the trick?
Great tutorial. Thank you very much.

Thank you so much for showing this. Another thing I would like to know. Are there any legal registrations in creating something like this to use outside studio in NYC?
Great tutorial!!
Question: If you're in a studio setting can you plug in the battery to an power outlet to keep the battery charging while shooting? I'm currently trying to create the same setup (without inverter) as you but using speedlights. Any suggestions Shoot me an email at brian.huff100(at)gmail(dot)com
