SYS Cream of the Crop More info | May 29, 2008 21:08 | #19 datadump wrote in post #5622019 i feel so stupid.. i never knew about that accessory... so the flash mounts on the battery? or... how does that work when u are mounting the flash on hotshoe of camera? The Canon CP-E4 comes with the cord that connects it to your flash. You can set the Custom Function in the 580EX to recycle the flash using the CP-E4's 8 batteries. What I like about this set up is not only you can shoot away without worrying that you have to replace the batteries in the flash unit often (let's say at a wedding) but the flash recycle time is really fast. This can be crucial depending on what sort of shooting you're involved in. So the question about the flash batteries is not so much how long they'll last but more importantly how fast can your flash recyle...

Now I see on the website that Ritz/Wolf is the only retailer around me that carries them. I'll probably just order them online. 6D, 50D
