DSLR Flash External Battery Mod: SB600

##UPDATE: Youtube are going mad with copyright claims so I had to save without the original sound as a new video...

**Apologies for lack of sound! Youtube marked as copyright so I removed. Thanks**This a a guide showing you how you can convert your standard SB600 speedliight camera flashgun to be able to run on an external power source just like the more expensive SB900 flash. You can run the flash off a rechargable 6V battery pack or if you prefer, you can run it from a 6v power adapter plugged into the mains. This mod does not interfere with the flash using regular AA batteries so it will still run on them if you wish.
For this mod you'll need to get a few small components.

The socket and plug were only about five quid together and it helps to get one that is as small as possible. Mine was about the largest that the flashgun would allow thanks to the tight fitting components inside. It will help a lot if you are handy with soldering and the points on the board are a little small and you dont wanna go and f*%k them up. The points on the board were i have soldered in the yellow wiring are marked with a + and a - aswell as being parked red and black respectively.
One thing i will advise you to do first though, Remove the batteries and DISCHARGE the unit before you open it. There can be 250v of electricity sitting in the unit even with the batteries removed and that can give you a nasty shock, (ask me how i know...)

Space is a little tight inside so take your time and work out exactly how you wanna do it before you start drilling holes or anything. be careful of the original wiring when you have it open, its quite thin and wouldnt take much to break it off completely.
I hope this helps you and you put it to good use. I'm really happy with my mod and its saving me a small fortune on buying high quality Energizer batteries every time i need to take the camera out. :)
