Paul C. Buff unveils Vagabond Mini Lithium. 3.5lbs!

Holy cow time to upgrade my 18.5 lb Vagabond II. I'll sacrifice the small lost of power to get rid of 15lbs any day! 18.5 lbs doesn't sound like much but when you have lights, tripod, camera(s), lens, umbrellas and any other photo accessory you can think about it is huge!
