Al,

If they are using the same field then I'd expect the power is still there ? I think it used to have about 4 outlet boxes built in for the IFI controllers.

I'll push the issue to the GDC so they can comment. Then students going to the next event can carry that doc with them and then they can meet with the event organizers on site. I'm concerned that the venue will resist this unless there is GDC guidance.

I'd imagine if the head inspector want more power well then "Captain we got to have more power !!" ( in my best Scottish accent ). I can see why you would not have a problem getting power.

We have run video equipment that uses more power than the classmate and we have run all day long, EASY !

We also use this setup to run public demonstrations outdoors and corporate / legistaive events indoors. All day long EASY !

Put the battery on the charger overnight. Check the battery midday while inverting just to make yourself comfortable.
