Re: Off Camera Flash..again
When using studio strobes on location, I use the Paul C. Buff Vagabond II (attached to the left lightstand and acting as a stabilizer). Plug it in and leave it charging until you need to use it, and then it gets the job done.

Re: Off Camera Flash..again
Do you have a radio trigger on a flash in the umbrella? Or is it just reflecting the light from the strobe? Because her left arm is a little darker than the right.
Or is it just shading the sun, because her left hip is well lit?
Ohh and by the way, you are lucky your roadie can double as a model.
Re: Off Camera Flash..again
The strobe is being triggered by a Cybersync radio receiver. The receiver is in the camo bag just beneath the strobe. The umbrella on the right is simply shading the sun from the subject.

Re: Off Camera Flash..again
For what it's worth..you can get external batterypacks for the 580EX flash. I think it's called CP-E4and CP-E3 being an older model. I'm sure this will increase your amount of flashes, but I guess it can only fire up one. And I have no idea how it competes with the Vagabond Sean has. Anyway, external batterypacks do exist [;)]
Edit: Oh...never mind [:$] I misread the whole thing...
