Mike,

I pre-ordered one and have it now. Just the size makes it worth it for me. Compared to a 20+ lb VBII, I'd easily buy a few spare batteries for the mini and be set.

I think i will do the same thing, but , i like bobby's idea for 1 per light. That would definately solve some concerns but some of the other guys have done some testing. They are talking a pair of 1600's are good for about 230 plus pops at full power. Unless its 3 oclock in bright sun, how often will you be at full power ?

Ordered my mini, first part of Jan. just received yesterday. For the price one per light would be a sweet setup, no wires to trip over and darned good recycle times to beat.. This mini not that much larger than my Quantums..:D


Canon Gear, 1 Nikon F2, and never enough lens..:)

Just put in an order, hopefully I'll get it by the end of March. I'm sure my GF will appreciate it as she's usually the one holding my light stick (though I usually have to move the VBII around).

Okay, so I ordered a pair of Vagabond Mini's on Feb. 27th, and they both just arrived today. (SA-WEET!)

Nobody has posted here regarding their shipping times, so I figured I'd bump this and add mine.

Good luck, all!

Talked to customer service the other day (when I was ordering some spare abr800 parts to try and make a bracket to make it easier to hand hold that dang thing) and they told me they were almost up to the march orders (I ordered the 2nd week of March so I am looking forward to receiving it soon)!
