I have no idea how long the setup would run for, but to me it's not an issue because I would never transport all the stuff anywhere to set up in the field.
It's just too much of a kludge!

What brand/$/where you got your 1.8" I am thinking to get one curious to see whether 1.8" is "easier". However, the 1.8" HD USB is getting real close to the flash price. The cheapest I can find is 80G 1.8" for $80 while 32G flash is still running $100.

I also run around with my setup, everything is in a camera bag and works fine.
