I have been told that Vivitar no longer makes the LVP-2 power pack
for extended flash usage.  It consists of 4 external D cells instead of the
internal 4 AA cells.  Has anyone tried to make their own power pack
using the LVC-3 cord and a 4 D cells?  Does anyone have a LVP-2 that
they can tell me about so that I can make one?  I plan to be doing some
shooting of about 1000 pictures over a period of two days and for most of
them I will need a flash.  Since this is a show I will be taking 
pictures for, I'd rather not have to spend the time changing batteries or
go carry a lot of them around with me all the time.
