Be careful pulling your plug out of the unit because it can also pull out the plug socket housing if your plug is snug in any way. Best to wiggle it out slowly. And keep an eye on it. Trust me ;)
Awesome review guys!!! I'm getting mine tomorrow. I was at first disappointed in the discontinuation of the vagabond 2, but I'm glad this came along. Looking forward to putting it to the test.
@leshaKvaz if you want something that will work that'll work with other brands check out Innovatronix Explorer, they have a mini as well .. You can check out their compatibility chart at their website ..
If I made photo gear I'd send to you guys for testing.
It's like CarTalk but for photography.
Hopefully PCB's people have seen this review and are working on a better mount.
Strobist isn't dead as such but the VML certainly gives me another great lighting option in the field, particularly if power is what I need.
Anyone seen the desert shoot with Joe McNally? He has to have a tree of *seven* SB800s to overpower the sun when he could have used one B800 and the Vagabond!
We played with the super clamp with a brass stud - didn't work well. The threaded hole on the back of the VML is off center, and it allows the device to twist, loosening the thread to the stud. Perhaps you will have better luck, and if you do, please share!
The issue with charging your iphone is an input amp issue. iPhones require 1 amp if I am not mistaken (I am an android user), but the mini's is only .5 amps. BTW, still waiting painfully for my vagabond mini.

I got mine in today, hoping I get the same performance or at least half of what these guys experienced, with my travelite 750r.

@leshaKvaz It does. I use it with a non Bee flash and it works fine.

Great review. I have one on order and I plan on using one of my impact super clamps to hold it since the screw hole is a standard 1/4"
