We have never had trouble with voltage drop. We use a 13.8 V 5amp regulated AC supply. Gave up on batteries long ago and bought a "quiet" 2.6 KVA generator (it has remote electric stop start as well) for about the same price as decent batteries and inverters etc. Runs all night on 7 ltrs of fuel with a full load.

The generator makes some noise but at the end of a 25 meter cable and in a sound deadening box I can't hear it from 10 meters. If no noise is more important than a stable photography system then this may not be the way to go. In any case we share the AC power and get no complaints. ( we have had as many as 6 six way AC splitters running from the generator.)
