Your VAGABOND MINI™ LITHIUM Arrives With
1. The Internal CU120 Vagabond Mini™ Lithium Inverter (in VM120 systems, for use with
standard Paul C. Buff™ flash units / power packs):
The CU120 is a power inverter
made exclusively for the
Vagabond Mini™ Lithium
system. The unit converts the
power from the internal battery to a 120VAC, 60 Hz current-controlled, pure sine
wave power source, specifically engineered for powering Paul C. Buff™ units.

1. The Internal CU120-230V Vagabond Mini™ Lithium Inverter (in VM120-230V systems,
for use with 220V / 230V AlienBees™ and Einstein™ units):
The 230V model of the
system contains the CU120-230V power inverter. The unit converts the power
from the internal battery to a 230 VAC, 50 Hz current-controlled, pure sine wave
power source, specifically engineered for powering Paul C. Buff™ units.
The converted power with both systems is similar to the power that you would
get from a standard power line when shooting in the studio with your flash units
/ power packs connected to an AC power outlet.

VAGABOND MINI™ LITHIUM Specifications
In order to allow single or multiple flash units to operate from a small inverter,
the inverter must act as a 120VAC (or 230VAC) voltage generator when it is not
overloaded, but must revert to becoming a continuous current source when the
