It will be far easier to pack away than a softbox cube.

Have you tried packing a softbox ?

It is one of life's challenges .. do a search for YouTube videos.

This is really doing things the hard way but there are some nice comments about CHDK at the bottom.

Someone asked me if I could take some pictures of the power plug for an SX130IS.  They aren't the best pictures, but can be seen here -> http://www.achillies.com/CHDK_Files/powerplug.htm

The plug is *almost* the same as that of a Kyocera TXTVL10103 or Audiovox CNR4 power adapter.

NB-11L dummy battery diy (WARNING:CHEAP CONTENT)
« Reply #44 on: 21 / June / 2014, 14:26:29 »
New to CHDK just realized that my ixus 125 hs (elph 110) needs more power for timelapsing.
So, using what lying around 10 meters from my sofa  :), i did this cheap, dirty , but working dummy battery.
In pictures below an old vhs plastic case, a tiny metal strip, super glue to join togheter 3 rectangular pieces of plastic.
The little socket was cannibalized from an old electronic appliance.
At home, external power comes out from a 4,5 Vs/2A AC-DC adapter.
