Just thought I would let people know that the VML DOES work with the Speedotron Force 10 and Force 5 units. They need to be on slow recycle but I was pretty sure they would because of the draw. I would advise against the use of the modling light, it's a 250watt bulb and you can almost see the battery draining. Half power is around 3 seconds (half power on a 1000watt head is more then most people will ever need) Full power is around 8. Looking back I forgot to try multiple heads so I will try that this weekend and see what the time will be. |

Thanks for sharing this info! If you do try multiple heads, please let us know! |

Two heads is a no go, but we all knew it would be so it's ok. |

Four or even five 640WS AB1600s work fine on Vagabond Mini. But four at full power you'll have to wait about 14 seconds for recycle. Much faster at reduced power. |

The uP has nothing to do with this. It's the power supply design. |

There seems to be no problems as long as the light is on slow recycle. I don't use the modeling light so that helps as well. kenyee wrote: Thesepaperwings wrote: Two heads is a no go, but we all knew it would be so it's ok.

Makes sense . . . fast recycle equals more charging current and lower inverter voltage. Same with Profoto. |

I tried today VML with two Broncolor Minicom 80 in slow charge, without problem, at full power recharge around 10sec |
