I will add that to me, the least stable power solution seems to be over USB. This connection wiggles up and down even with a right angle cable and I could see where it might break the solder off the board internally. It is kind of hard to pull the cable out, so I wouldn't be worried about a disconnect, just the strain on the connection if that makes sense.
slip and wrap the cable in and around the "handle" with the orange stripe on it.
Maybe even gaff it there??
That's what I was thinking of doing to relieve stress from anything from weight to popping out and such
Maybe that would work.
On another note, I charged the Enloop Pro AAs and tried again. This time I got 5 1/2 hours on 8 Enloop Pro at 24/48 with 30-40 gain on 4 channels phantom power with 5/6 turned off and brightness at LCD1, LED 2. This was using PFAs for a KCY and a Nbox cable and schoeps caps.
My first test was with the Enloop Pro batteries fresh out of the package. I thought they came fully charged, but looks like I was wrong. With a recent fresh charge, I'm pretty confident I could get through a 3-4 hour show no problem.
I think I'm going to forget about the L mount batteries and just get another 8 AA sled to have as a backup..
