skydivebaz 0 #1 December 18, 2004 Hi there all Please help me out, post a pic of your Speedlight setup!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ffejdraga 0 #2 December 18, 2004 Here is a pic of me taken by Joel Burnap, basically my speedlight is attached by camera lock velco (the heavy duty platic kind) to the top of my camera mount. A few stow bands are around it also for peace of mind. Then I bought the Nikon cable that connects the flash to the camera. It is 5' long, so I had an electronic engineer cut it down and splice it together for me. Now it is about 8" long. Works good, could get snagged, but I feel it would rip off and break first. Hope this helps, jeff agard D-16906 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydivebaz 0 #8 December 20, 2004 I am just waiting for my FTP tp arrive from the US. I have my PC 8 and 20D with my sigma 15mm and was looking at getting the speedlight 580 so need some ideas! i like the look of yours on mounted on its side. Does the flash not need to have the infra red thingy in line of sight? and also looking at a 3 chip to put on top maybe the dcr hc 1000 as i dont like the pc8 sticking up .

vdschoor 0 #9 December 20, 2004 I don't know about the red light in the front. I know it's used to help with autofocus in low light conditions, but other than that I haven't had problems with it. I set mine up almost fully manual though, and I haven't had any problems so far.. I guess I should look back in the manual again one of these days. I am looking into mounting it upright though, but that's a project for next year. Iwan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deuce 1 #12 December 23, 2004 These are my two sidemounted versions. I like putting the flash behind the still camera, it's just hard on the hot shoe mount. Currently I just zip tie the flash to one of the sharkfins I use to protect my PC120 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
