Hmmm, do NOT like any jinky mount or radio trigger at all, even if it just a rumored one ... been there, done that.
There HAS to be an alternative power source to use with the Profoto Compacts, I just need to find it.
Actually, because I already have a couple of Elinchrom Quadras, the only real need I have for a battery powered unit is an occasional situation where I have to shoot at a distance, or need to over-power the sun while using a MFD kit stopped down. I'd like to power my Profoto 1200 w/s Compacts for that sort of duty. Otherwise the Quadra has been just fine (except for the questionable mount, which has been okay as long as the modifier is smallish, or is an umbrella using a separate HD umbrella clamp ... the new Westcott 7' parabolics are very good modifiers and only cost $99!)
