SB800 w/ Quantum Turbo Battery

[blackD200]

Anybody use Quantum Turbo Battery with their SB800.

Any good with SB800???

I already have the battery and have used it with a METZ flash.
Just wanted to know if anyones used them with a sb800 ???

I'm after this particular item :

Quantum CKE cable for Nikon SB-800

Anyone know where I can get these locally..

Thanks..[/url]

What's the cost of the cable and Quantum battery pack?

There are a handful of members here that own the SD-8A, which IMHO isn't too costly and provides an order of magnitude greater improved flash recycle times and extended battery capacity.

Fortunately I already have the battery pack. was partnered with my old metz hammer flash... the batery is still perfect( they still sell for about $600 - $800 new ), am just having a hard time looking for the cable to connect to sb800 locally without paying too much.

mayl potentially use it for portable studio portraits w/ sb800

thanks.

I think this is more useful for photojournalists who snaps away 5fps on their jobs.

I think Whitezuluphotography on the digitalslr.com.au forum has this combination if you want to chase him up.
