Post subject:  Sharing power between 2 Vag Mini's ???

Hi all, I just got my 2 Vag Minis in recently. I primarily shoot outside (full sun) with my WL x3200s. Those are my go to lights in such conditions because they offer a great pop that matches the sun. The recycle time from the Vag Mini is quite lengthy when shooting with the WL x3200 (btw 7-9 seconds). I am wondering if there is a way of using some kind of 3rd party adapter that i could plug the x3200 into both Vag Minis to allow the packs to half the load and recycle quicker? ANY IDEAS? Thanks all

No. The AC cycles would not be synchronized between the two Vagabonds. If the cycles are counter to each other, bad things can/will happen to your equipment. The only way to increase the recycle times would be to use a higher wattage single power source.

Get a VB-II...bigger inverter that would be able to handle the x3200 much better...
