| ->> Does anyone know how long a Canon 1D will stay powered up while using a Pocket Wizard pretrigger cord and either the 30 or 60 watt Digital Camera Battery? |

| ->> Okay - maybe that wasn't enough information. It'll be for basketball and I'm looking to get no more than 100 shutter actuations in a 3 - 4 hour time span. Can a Digital Camera Battery handle that on a single charge? |

| ->> That depends on where the camera is mounted. It's easy in some spots, not so easy in others. |

| ->> That's your best bet. What spot is it not so easy in? 200ft of cord should be able to AC power any basketball remote, unless its mounted on the jumbotron. |

Any spot where they don't want cords to be. I don't own any arenas - I just work in them.
Not to be unappreciative, but I did post this question to get specific answers (facts) about battery use. I'm not really interested in opinions on the matter. |

->> Gary, calm the heck down man. I've used a 30 watt Digital Camera Battery for a 9 to 10 hour day, a wedding, to power my '1D and didn't run the Dit. Battery dry. Hope that helps.
