External Battery Pack for Speedlite Flash

From the website you posted:

"The JJC FB-1 is a high quality, low cost replacement for the Canon CP-E4 compact battery pack. It reduces the recycling time between flashes to a third of the original time as well as increasing the number of flashes three fold. The pack has a tripod screw so that it can be screwed into the tripod thread of the camera."

I've never used one of those battery packs, but I've thought about it. I'm sure they work well. Slow recycling with hot-shoe flashes is a major pain.

I usually get round it by simply increasing the ISO and turning the flash down. Switching to half or quarter power makes a dramatic difference. Now I have a 5D2 and can shoot at ISO800 with superb quality, I can't see myself ever needing one.

It's not a perfect solution, but it works pretty well for me.
