How much would a portable battery cost for this? :think:
Have to check Orient photo and mabbie the other studio suppliers in the mass order section. The studio outfitters may have something that works. Honestly I not sure as I never use portable battery. But in general, going by the prices of the China made portable flash kits, if one is available, a separate battery pack probably won't cost more than a few hundred?
What I just found in a quick check is that there already are battery packs that can be used...
