p.1 #9 · p.1 #9 · Looking for Flash or Strobes that will cycle fast | |
Check out Lumedyne ... either for HV battery pack for your flash or for head/pack combo.
Their site is having some glitches atm, but it looks like they've added a new battery for direct use with CaNikon flashes, as well as their HV cable based batteries.
How fast you can refill your capacitors is going to be impacted by what battery you are using to refill them with. Using a BetterBeamer, etc. may get you a more concentrated light throw, which may allow you to discharge less for each flash, but if you are fully dumping your capacitor on a given shot ... it's refill time. How big the caps are (which are limited to the ones in your SB-800) and how fast they can be refilled is gonna depend on what you are trying to fill them with.
Quantum (iirc) also made a small battery that mounted under your camera body and cabled up to a dummy battery. Can't recall the name of it atm, maybe someone else can.

I just called Lumedyne and they are working on the website to fix the issues ... but their phone still works just fine.
You can check out B&H for info as well.

Rated to recycle 1.3 secs @ full power, faster of course for lower settings.
