right now, they do not have anything available. (they are currently disc the vagabond 1, and starting up the Vagabond 2 in a month). Are there other alternative, im looking for something in the 300 dollar range, that can give me at least 300 flashes on my AB800.
thanks much!

I have been eyeing this one. Looks like it would be more than enough power.

I was just going to post something of that sort. Thing is that most flashes "want/require" a true sine wave and that is a modified. as is this one.

I dig that would be the rub but I would like to know how to tell for sure at least with my strobes. That is a bunch of cheap power.

Throw a computer UPS in front of one of them.

Hey I think that is a question for kirbic!
Fritz how would we tell if our strobes will function with modified sinewave power?Message edited by author 2007-10-05 22:02:07.

"It is also important to understand that there is no way to upgrade or clean a modified-sine wave signal. If your item does not work on a modified-sine wave inverter, you will need to purchase a new true-sine wave power inverter."

(just to get things straight here)
this would successfully power my AB800 for how many flashes?
is there some sorta equation i have to do in order to figure this out ( i feel so stupid).
Honestly, i know less than nothing about this stuff
thanks everything

I would avoid that one. It produces a modified sinewave. This could damage your lights, although they may simply not function correctly. I tried something similar on an AB 400. I had to reset the light and the power pack after every flash! I'm going to pick up a Vagabond when they get them in stock.
Check out this one:
Innovatronix Tronix Explorer
It is often recommended on DPReview. Although, I have no experiance with it.

thanks, yea i was just reading up on the modified sine wave.
