Hi All! Thanks for the great forum!

Quick question: i have been using my vagabond mini Lithium with 1 Einstein and 1 AlienBee 800.

I bought a SECOND Einstein and would like to use all 3 on the field with my Vagabond. What type of adapter do i need to buy to connect all 3 lights to the VML?

(i bought an extra battery because i know 3 lights at the same time will drain my old one at a faster pace)

Thank you in advance!

Any standard multi outlet adapter will work fine. Should be about $5 from pretty much any drug/grocery/hardware/discount store.

In case you don't know...your recycle time will be slowwwwwww.
The VML was designed for one per strobe usage....

If you want to strap that many strobes on a VB, you're better off w/ the VB2 and a splitter cord...

Recycle time depends on power levels. It's quite common to use three light setups in the 1/4 to 1/2 power range, in which case recycle times will be in a respectable 3 second or so range with a single VML. If all three are operated at full power you can expect around 9 seconds.
