I don't like the starving student deal.
Here's what I'd buy right now if all my gear were suddenly gone and I had to get new lighting
Total now is only around $125 and that's including the batteries and some decent flash triggers. Also, obviously all of this gear is reusable when you go better later on. Obviously I didn't link to gaffer tape or gels, but those are cheap and easy to find.
p.s.: I own everything I just linked to you except the RF-602. I plan on buying that next.
I know -- rechargeable nimh batteries are the norm. The capacity is somewhat high, but not at all hard to come by.
Any big box store will at least have 2000 mAh batteries in the standard stock. From well known brands like Duracell.
Aside from all that, your original statement was false:
> The MFLB has a special battery that puts the positive and negative terminals right next to each other
It isn't special. It is an unwrapped rechargeable AA. Any rechargeable nimh battery is negative on the outer shell, the plaster wrapper is meant to insulate them.
I am pretty sure they are still using eneloops, which are relatively high capacity.
But then again plain old Duracell rechargeables are just rebranded eneloops, so that high capacity doesn't make them particularly unique or special or whatever.
All this and more is covered in my DIY MFLB guide if anyone needs some background info.
I went through 3 different brands of induction chargers. They all wear the batteries out very fast, and they all have intermittent problems with stopping/starting charging. They also drain insanely fast. Way faster than their man ratings would indicate that they should.
From my personal experiences, I've decided that induction charging is just not "there yet" at these low price points.
Get yourself some name brand rechargeable batteries, and charge them in a wall charger.
You can usually get 4 batteries and a charger form duracell for about $20, and then get 4 packs of batteries themselves for $10 - $15.
The benefit here is that once you get about 20 batteries in your home, you'll never need to buy batteries again (or at least for, say, another 10 years or so, tip they wear out)
NINJA EDIT:
4 pack of batteries, with charger on Amazon.com
4 pack of batteries, by themselves on Amazon.com
You have to buy them. There are different ways to buy them, you can either do so online HERE or go to a store, and get NiMh batteries, the stronger the better.. Mine are 2700 mah power, gets me to an 8 easy. :)
Ninja Edit: When you do buy your batteries, strip them ie. take off the surrounding sticker.
