Up until now I have been shooting strobist style with hotshoe flashes as my main lightsource. I feel it is time to step up my game and purchase 4 studio strobes. I am looking into Genesis as well as AB and White Lightning. But, before I pull the trigger I have a question. I see in the manual for the Vagabond II that is is possible to power up to 5 lights with a single unit. However, it seems as though the unit only has one AC plug. Would I power 4 lights by using a powerstrip, or is there any particular accessory used to power multiple lights?

Also, is there a system similar to the LG4X four channel wired remote made for Genesis strobes?

Thanks guys!

Power strip will work. Also keep in mind, the more strobes you connect up, the longer the recycle time will be.
