Thanks heaps for your kind words!
Much appreciated.
Originally posted by stormtech I did see one grammatical error - on the "The Laser" page, 2nd paragraph, it reads "as mention...." where I think you want to say "as mentioned...."
Thanks a lot, I fixed it.
Originally posted by stormtech This is quite an exciting new product - I really like doing catch-in-focus work so this device will take that to another level.
I trust you'll have a lot of fun with these.
Beware of shutter lag, though. If you really depend on an exposure to occur practically at the same time something happens, you pretty much depend on a flash creating the exposure. The only reliable alternatives involving directly releasing the camera, are
- the speed of the object is slow enough for shutter lag not to matter, or
- the speed of the object is always the same, so that you can account for it by aiming at the spot where it will be when the camera is opening the shutter.
Even though the 0.092s shutter lag of a prefocused K-5 for example, are not a lot, a person walking with 5km/h will move 12.8cm in that time. For very shallow DOF shots, that could be a problem. But if a person moves slowly, catch in focus should work.
Originally posted by stormtech The only thing that bothers me is they don't come with their own stands like the V5 triggers.
Yes, you can get cheap plastic flash stands for very little money, but I feel they should have been included.
Originally posted by stormtech But the fact that you can use them as a remote camera trigger is a big plus.
Yes, I like that a lot myself.

Yes, no problem.
