Actually, ukphotographer, the speed at which it takes to change the battery on the VML using the VML Bracket was never really an issue for most people. And with the VML2, it\'s still not an issue.
However, the VML2 does allow for quicker battery changes than the first version because the new design doesn\'t require the photographer to use the knurled thumb screw (a wing nut on the first version) if they don\'t want to. The VML can be secured to the VML Bracket with a single velcro cinch strap which makes changing the battery quick and easy. Simply loosen the strap, take the VML out of the VML Bracket, replace the battery, pop the VML back into the VML Bracket, and tighten the cinch strap. Easy! And even using the knurled thumb screw in addition to the velcro cinch strap only adds a few additional seconds to the process of changing the battery.
I\'ll be posting videos on my website soon to demonstrate the battery changing process, as well as a few other key features of the VML2.
