Okay, so I did a quick demo for a client using a PCB Einstein and VLM. The location was a New England Ski area and the idea was to just test the functions and portability, and most importantly...reliability of these components. The actual shoot will utilize wireless triggers, being tethered to a camera, well... just plain sucks!
It was partly cloudy with forecasts for 4000/6000 ft. for strong upslope gusts, temps in the 20's f. Without going to too much detail (first impressions only), the unit functioned perfectly. I was convinced I'd have to change batteries, but it kept popping when needed. I even left the modeling light on with no appreciable battery drain. Only reflectors were used for this demo and they stayed put. I understand the comments about the balcar mount, and personally think a lip on the modifier and a recess on the "fingers", would be a small improvement to security, but nonetheless, it held tight.
I liked this combo so far... this image was a quick snap...
