I've done it.  Got a Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) battery at Fry's in Wilsonville, ordered a pure sine inverter off the Internet and used it on my SP Studio Systems Excalibur 1600's.  They recharge a little slower than regular wall AC, but it does work and doesn't catch fire.

Fry's should carry pure sine wave inverters.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no.  And not always in the wattage requirements.  I know, 'cause I look when I go in.

Could I use a car battery or some such, and one the True Sine Wave inverters (same thing they use in Vagabond 150-300's)?

I suppose this would work if you want to lug around a car battery...   The vagabon is very small more like the size of a mortorcycle battery.  Plus, I didn't want to risk ruining my strobes which are too important to me to risk.

With the monet I save in not paying for studio time the vagabond has already paid for itself.

This statement makes you sound like a novice, but your mm port shows you have experience.  It looks like you are more of a natual light photographer, you might be happier with a tripod for this shoot.

Yes thats correct. I've always used natural light and never had the oppertunity to work in a studio. Thats why im asking for help. They can say what they want about me but everyone need help sometime and for you that do help I appreciate it.
