Heya

Just received my Vagabond mini, This thing is awesome, so small and lightweight !!! Especially compared to the older Vagabonds.

Any who, Flashes are working fine with it, but I tried to charge my iphone with the USB (just to test it out) and it never registered, all lights on and green but iphone never popped up as charging ?

Its not a deal breaker or anything, just be a cool handy feature, any ideas what it could be ?

Likely your phone requires a 1A or higher USB output to charge. The VML USB port is .5A. It may charge if turned off, or you can use a wall wart into one of the AC outlets.

Yeah it turns out the iphone requires 1 amp or bigger :( no biggy, it was just a nice wee feature if it charged it via USB

It'll probably charge with it off.
