SB 800 External Power

[Lance Peters]

Hi - what is everyone using for a power source for the SB-800 for bird photography, I assume most would be using some form of external power pack.
Does anyone have any recomendations??

Thanks
Lance

I'm using a Digital Camera Battery that I purchased used and am happy with it.

A lot of folks use Quantum as well.

There is a link somewhere on here to a guy who makes his own packs by hand that are lighter and less expensive, but I can't find it at the moment.

Edit: Found it. . . Al Jacobs Black Bo http://www.aljacobs.com/THE%20BLACK%20BOX.htm

I have always used an external source Last one from Quantum

With the new 2900 AA it seems there is a choice I use the fifth battery in my flash and recycle time is acceptable Have not missed the external at all !!! Might want to check it out !!!
