Who has a Vagabond II???????
Do you like it? Dec 03 08 07:22 am Link Best thing out there, And it wont fry your strobes. Dec 03 08 07:24 am Link I have both a I & II they do what they are supposed to do and well. Use mine all the time. Dec 03 08 07:25 am Link Bought one last year. I have only used it once.........I need to bring it out more to play! Dec 03 08 07:26 am Link Have it. Use it. Love it. Dec 03 08 07:26 am Link I have both a I and a II, both are great! No problems and they last all day. Dec 03 08 07:26 am Link Love mine. My only complaint is the strap which I need to change because it digs right into you shoulder blades. Never noticed it until last Friday where we had to do a family sunset portrait. The parking lot of the hotel had to b at least a 1/4 mile from the beach and just had to keep switching between me and my assistant with the battery. Other than that, like I said I love it. Simon Dec 03 08 07:27 am Link Got a Vagabond II when it came out. Works great.. Just throw in the truck and go.. Dec 03 08 07:28 am Link Got one about 2 weeks ago. That thing can save your life. Photographer's version of the defibrillator.. Cant wait to get some models out and shoot em! (Love it, Ive used it for other pics non MM material.) Dec 03 08 07:33 am Link I use mine a couple times a week. Love it. -Ben Dec 03 08 07:40 am Link I have 2 of them and they are great! No issues at all and Paul C. Buff has remarkable customer service. Dec 03 08 07:43 am Link Own it, Love it, Couldn't live without it. And for the price, you can not do better.... seriously, anyone who says you can build it yourself for less is just being stupid. You might save yourself $20 making it yourself but my time is worth more than $20 bucks.  Dec 03 08 07:45 am Link Mauricio Paiz wrote: Recording that into my mental database for future use.

I've used it a few times. I had the Vaggy I prior to the upgrade and that joint fried an AB800.. They replaced them both ( Strobe and Vaggy ), no questions asked. Dec 03 08 07:49 am Link I'm happy with it. Had version 1 as well. Dec 03 08 07:54 am Link Love it, but the recycle time is a bit slow.

I've used it outdoors and we're just entering into the rainy season and power failures are pretty common so it's nice to know if the power goes out during a portrait session we can muddle along. Dec 03 08 08:25 am Link I have one, and it works great. My big complaint is that it is bloody heavy! Dec 03 08 08:29 am Link Ahh, but do you have one and use it with Elinchrom 400BX strobes?  Dec 03 08 08:42 am Link Carlton Chong wrote: If you send me your Elinchrom 400BX strobes I will. Dec 03 08 08:55 am Link Has anyone here purchased a Vagabond I in 2007 or prior? Dec 03 08 08:56 am Link I love mine. There is something fun about wearing it in a backpack, Abr800 on the camera, shooting photos and feeling like a Ghostbuster without being plugges in a wall. Dec 03 08 09:00 am Link I have found mine to be very dependable and powerful for just about anything. At first I mounted mine with a light stand on a furniture dolly. Then I found a little fold flat wire shopping cart that works even better. Dec 03 08 09:47 am Link HottShotz wrote: Got it. Love it. Need another one for backup.

I'm sitting here waiting for UPS to deliver mine today.

Dec 03 08 11:17 am Link Well, I built my own loosely based on the VBII I love it, couldn't imagine not haveing the portable power Dec 03 08 11:29 am Link I have a I and a II, looking to get rid of both now because I moved on to profoto strobes and I use a generator. The 2 will work wit hthe acute 2-1200, but its not the best configuration. -Justin Dec 03 08 11:34 am Link I have both the VB I and II. Love them both. The II is a big improvement over the first one. Dec 03 08 11:36 am Link I was looking at this and the Innovatronix Explorer 1200. I am going to go with the Explorer 1200 as it is confirmed to work with several different lights and Paul C. Buff has not released any documents with compatibility. I do not want to use AB lights either (nothing against them). Dec 03 08 11:38 am Link bought in October...used it right away...love it. Dec 03 08 12:24 pm Link I love mine. I can grab on of my monolights and shoot anywhere. I was actually suprised how many shots I could get out of it with my Hensel 500w head. I wonder if it has enough juice to drive my new Acute2R 2400 pack for a few shots. Probably not... time for a generator. Dec 03 08 01:14 pm Link Yup, love mine. stays with me everywhere I go. Dec 03 08 01:26 pm Link A slice of oblivion wrote: Ahh the old ABR800 and Vagabond in the backpack. I do that to. lol. Works great in NYC, even when you find a patch of green on the side of the West Side Highway. Dec 03 08 02:01 pm Link I just used mine today for a location shoot. I hang it from a light stand to be used as a weight, which is an added benefit. Dec 03 08 03:18 pm Link I love mine. Its small and light. I shot with an AB400, AB800 and sometimes a fan for part of a day and have never run out of juice. Dec 03 08 03:19 pm Link I have a VI and VII. Both are slick. Use them on almost all of my outdoor work. Dec 03 08 03:23 pm Link |
