I was wondering if anyone had any outside experience using the Einstein in cold (very cold these days) weather. Has anyone experienced any issues and what was the lowest temperature (outside) they use the Einstein at? I would like to use on a shoot next week with the vagabond, but am hesitant b/c it's going to be in the teens. 18 degrees (the high). Should I bag using the Einstein and just use two speedlites? Will they fail in that cold of weather?

Thanks, I never did a shoot outside in this cold of weather. Gonna be a rough one.

Keep in mind to let them warm up before use when bringing them in from the cold.

Also, the nature of LCD screens is such that they will likely go dark when cold, then brighten back up when warmed.
