The first one I used wasn’t giving the mount enough power so I started using this which has been great. It’s on the pricy side but it works.

I just bought this for my shop, you won’t get a radio memory, but works great. Just wire 12v and Acc wire to positive. It came with a cig light plug but I cut it off and wired the radio direct.

The machine I made for Quakecon had a separate 12-volt DC power source from a laptop mounted in the base with its own 110 plug and switch for just that purpose. Soldered on a pair of 3-pin connectors for the pumps. Just make sure the one you get has the amperage to push the pumps you're using.
Here's one on Amazon: 12 volts, 6 amps, 70 watts, $23
I bought a Schumacher PC-6 120AC to 6A 12V DC Power Converter and had it next day shipped. It works perfectly! The box is thunderous one again! Thanks a ton!

I use this, which works fine. You'll need something like this to make it work though.
I power the ASI Air, then have the AIR power my mount (HEQ 5). I could power my camera through the AIR with an adapter I have, but I prefer to keep that separate, even if it is another cable hanging down. It all works great though!
>You need a converter not just a plug adapter. It’s the 220v that will fry your device if it’s designed for 110v.
I know that my dude, that's why I had to type this wall of text! What you send me will only convert from to 110, but the hertz will remain at 50hz, which will only get half the job done.
Aren't those two good enough? >I watched this video, and the guy seem to have figured it out quite well and efficiently. The huge plus is that I think I found those items on Amazon. Here and here.
>The thing is, that the first item has a US plug, so I'm wondering if this time I will be able to use a simple plug converter (like this one, which is similar to the one I have for my iPhone I've received from the US and use to charge it with).
According to him, these two devices convert from 220v to 110v AND also from 50hz to 60hz.
