External Power for Canon 580EX/EXII

jeffreaux2

Im in search of options for externally powering Canon Speedlights. I am wanting quicker recycles mainly.

What's out there / available?

I am nearly sold on the Canon CPE4....is anyone using third party stuff?

The Al Jacobs "Black Box" is often recommended:

You might also consider dual flashes to reduce the power consumption of each flash and reduce the recycle times, or even to increase the power output when needed.
