Comments about Quantum Quantum Turbo SC Slim Compact Battery Power Pack:

The size and weigth are a lot better than it's predecessor but the charge... That's another story.
With the Quantum Turbo connected to a Canon 580 ex, I was able to shot a standard wedding and still have about 50% charge remaing in the unit. With the new Quantum Turbo SC fully charged I could barely finish a wedding and the baterry was exhausted.
If I had known this, I would not have bought it.
What I will do, I'll use as a back up or to fire the slave flashes in the studio shots. Not as a main source of power in a wedding.
IT CAN NOT HANDLE WEDDINGS!
