    I have a 5 foot wheel welded to a car alternator shaft. Inside that wheel are approximately 43 hamsters running in order to spin that wheel, which spins the shaft on the alternator, which powers my HF11. Of course you'll need a couple of large resistors to kick down the voltage a hair.

    I say approximately 43 hamsters because I have a hard time keeping my cats from eating them. It's also very hard to get the hamsters coordinated to all run in the same direction. You can try this at home. Cost is even cheaper if you use rats that you catch in the alley.

    Portability is still a problem.

    Lol, no. I was just being a smart a**. A lot of the guys here use the batteries from LAColor and I haven't seen any complaints.
    Main difference being that the cheaper ones don't communicate with the camera and the camera can't tell you how much is left. But they are WAY cheaper and I believe they have a remaining charge meter.

    Me, I'm building my own small pack that will last about 5 hours. Cost will be about $60.
