We have engineering job openings!
Paul, coming from you that's quite a compliment. :-)
I am a NYC based photographer, although I may have taught myself SolidWorks and do have an EE degree and other related background and aspirations.
I've already imposed what almost amounts to a resume, on this forum,
http://www.paulcbuff-techforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=118&p=1804#p1804, so unless you signal that this is preferred, I feel awkward discussing what I may or may not be able to contribute to PCB Inc., on the Technical Discussion forum
My contact info is here
http://karasevstudio.com/contact.shtmland if you point me to the best way to reach out to find out if I can be of help, I'll be happy to do my part to see if there is anything good I can contribute to your company.
Alex
EDIT: P.S. Ironically I was looking at
http://toolhacker.com/2010/01/bosch-dewalt-makita-milwaukee-ryobi-ridgid-hilti-battery-specs/ and momentarily it made me think of the totally opposite perspective. The better contemporary cordless tool batteries like the 36V LiFePO4 DeWalt DC9360 contains just a hair over 1/3 the stored energy of the VagabondII, in a relatively compact form factor. If a pack like this could snap on the back or top of some monolight it could be a portable power solution without the dangling wires.
While at the present state of the art 1/3 of 100...120 full-power flashes is not spectacular, it is respectable considering the compact and light form factor, and the current it is capable of delivering is quite high, and let's not forget it is just a battery, so one could charge up and bring along some spares. Last but not least, the capacity is only going to go up so in a year or two we may see 20-25% higher capacity in the same size/weight.
