Hi Mike, thanks for the reply. Sorry, wasn't clear on origional post, the option is on the xpro flash controller however once connected to either the 5dmk3 or the 7dmk2 the flash will only fire first curtain. checking the in camera menu for flash control it does not give the option for rear...

Got a Godox ad200, xpro trigger & a canon 5dmk3 (7dmk2 also) Surprisingly there seems to be absolutely no option either in camera menu or on trigger to allow rear curtain sync. Apparently it's something to do with canon's dislike of 3rd party accessories. Anybody on here found a workaround?

cheers guys.

Hi All, does anyone on here have any experience setting up magic lanterns motion detect feature? I've been trying to set it up to catch birds on a feeder but so far I'm not having much success with it detecting anything, even me waving & jumping in front of it! Canon 5Dmk3, 70-200 2.8 lens. Live...

Hey Black Fox, just in case you haven't had a chance to get a hold of your sons, took the plunge on the 7d mk2, early days yet but combined with the 150-600 it seems pretty sweet & the autofocus has exceeded my expectations, people were commenting on the noise at high isos & while it's not full...

Hi Roy, thanks for confirming the af, makes pressing the big scary BUY NOW button easier! Just out of curiosity guys, what's the slowest shutter speed you have had success with handheld? I've got 1/1250th dialed in as a custom with auto iso but on static subjects I've managed 1/160th at...

For wildlife there's Doxey Marshes, literally 5 mins from the town centre, it's also good for some landscape & sunset. Check out my album on the marshes here; https://www.flickr.com/gp/92460969@N05/Ruh7u1

To be fair to the 70d I hadn't noticed any problems till I started using it with the 150-600, then it seemed that the autofocus wasn't quite there, don't get me wrong I've had some great results with the combo but it just doesn't seem spot on if you know what I mean. I've been alternating...

Thanks for the reply black fox. I've updated the firmware on the lens & the tc still won't play with the 70d, except when in live view mode but can't really use that easily for wildlife. Wonder if it's due to the dual pixel sensor maybe? I'll keep persevering with the 70d (although it has fanned...

Hi, new here but following thread with interest. I've had one of these for a good few months now & have got some great results(flickr page https://www.flickr.com/photos/92460969@N05/ basically all the wildlife shot with this lens.) But there are a few niggles which I'm wondering if anyone has...
