iambeav2 0 #1 July 2, 2008 I first off love my Tonfly CC1. Though so far away, the service available to me is superb. What I have is a few questions for the camera guru's here... I am getting a Canon XSi in the near future and am going to get the plate from Tonfly installed on my helmet. They offer the plates for the XTi and since the XSi is relatively new, the plates aren't listed. My question is this... Would you guys suggest that anything physically encompassing the 400D also fit the 450D? Pictures attached, but are used w/ the 350D and/or 400D....it's not the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until it's gone...it's the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until someone appreciates it for you!

PhreeZone 20 #2 July 2, 2008 Do yourself a favor and look at getting a L plate and clamp from someplace like Really Right Stuff or Kirk Photo instead of that huge box. The weight will be way less, it is smaller in size and it is custom fitted for each body to eliminate any movement at all.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iambeav2 0 #3 July 2, 2008 There is no huge box, it's just a plate w/ the converter on the bottom. The deal w/ the plates is they flush the camera w/ the top of the helmet, where as the locks from RRS and the sorts lift it (a few cm's, obviously, but a bit of lift none-the-less). Which picture looked like the huge box? And also, I lurk the Photo forums like hell, and respect your opinion's among the highest (take the brown nose for what it's worth). But still, I'm not concerned w/ it fitting in a box (no box here), but rather the distance from the edge of the base to the screw attachment point. Does this make sense?...it's not the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until it's gone...it's the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until someone appreciates it for you!

pilotdave 0 #4 July 2, 2008 This might help: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos450d/page4.asp I think you'll find the sizes are similar but the button layout is totally different. Might cause problems with that thing. I assume it's an L-bracket? Do you really need vertical stills? That flush mount looks great without the big ugly plate...

iambeav2 0 #5 July 2, 2008 Right you are, do I NEED vertical stills? No. This was just my brainstorming...as of right now, I'm 100% happy w/ standard Landscape shots. Was just looking at sizes and what not. But thanks man, I sent that link to Gio to see if it helps him answer any of my ?'s as well....it's not the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until it's gone...it's the fact that you don't appreciate what you have until someone appreciates it for you!
