powering Sound Devices (etc.) with the Vagabond Mini

[mkfotos.com]

Not sure if any of you have tried it yet, but today I wired up the Paul Buff Vagabond Mini battery (8.8Ah; 3 hour recharge; small and lightweight) to run my Sound Devices gear. So far, with the 664 and 744 running, it's gone from 16.5V to 15.7V in 110 minutes of continuous operation. Battery cutoff is 11V, and will probably take several more hours. Not bad for a $240 system / $90 battery, that I already had several of for photography.

So far over 10 hours of continuous operation, and down to 13.6V. I know this isn't pretty, but it's solid, and works:
