This is just for an specific setup, i need to know if the vagabond mini lithium can be used to power a speedlite like the nikon sb-900 or similar, is there an AC adapter for that kind of lights? or anything?


I use vagabond mini lithium with einsteins, but for a specific work i really need to be "portable" and have to leave my einstein at home, I really hate the recycling time for AA batteries ... soo it will be great to use a speedlite conected to the vagabond... because i already own a few.

i know that there are others options like quantum batteries but i reallly dont want to buy that thing just for this specific photoshoot.

can someone help me? :D

I have only seen two adapters made for regular Nikon or cannon speedlites. One is by Quantum and I forget who the other was by. In each case, the cost was rather high, they are not terribly compact, plus you still need to add the Vagabond to your packing list.

If it were me, I would get a Nikon SD9 or similar battery pack for speedlite use.
