Thanks for your help. I managed to get it working .

I have just got round to trying out the transmitter with the flash unit but I am having trouble setting it up. Do i also need a receiver attached to the flash unit for it to work as an external flash?

Thank you

Hi guys, I am thinking of going for Godox TT685 and xpro transmitter. I have found one on amazon but just wondered if someone would be able to confirm i am ordering the correct one for my camera Canon 1000d...

Thanks for all the responses guys :). By the sounds of it the Godox and Yongnuo brands seem to be the most affordable way to go. Thanks for the clarity on the meaning of TTL GarethB - do all flashes have this feature? I like the idea that i can have the flash external from the camera to be...

Hi Looking for a bit of advice.... I have a canon 1000d and i am thinking about purchasing a flash unit to add to my kit. The main reason for wanting a flash unit is i have recently become a father and would like to get better photographs of my daughter. Ive never used a flash unit and don't...

Thanks for the replies guys, they are all very helpful - a few more options to look at :)

I hadn't really looked at the 3 way heads in great detail but the 460mg might be starting to sway me away from the ball head type. At least once I have my camera set level (for landscape photography) then I can just lock that axis. I presume the 460 will be suitable for panoramas also? Again...

I have just been on the phone to a very helpful chap at red snapper. I think I am going to go for red snapper legs and buy the head separately. Going to go for the red snapper RSF-324. Now to decide on a head..... I am wanting a ball head that will support my kit (detailed in first post). I...

Many thanks for all the replies, they have all been really helpful. I have sent a Pm to Redsnapper to see what they have to offer otherwise i think i may go down the route of buying a second hand 055xprob as i can't really afford to buy new at the moment unless i find a good deal somewhere.

Thanks Peter, I will pm them. Perhaps I may need the extra height the 055 offers after all, since I will be using it for long exposures. Yes Thanks, Angus

Many thanks for the replies. I am only about 5ft10 so the extra height that the 055 offers shouldn't be a requirement. Although the sturdier legs may be a preference for me but presumably if I hung my bag from the 190 then this should give me plenty stability? I haven't had a look at the red...

Hi, I am looking to invest in a decent tripod. I have been looking at the manfrotto range, in particular the 055xprob, the 190xprob and the befree range. I will be mostly using it for landscape and night photography. Where I live we regularly get windy conditions so I am needing something...

Where is best to buy or download the software?
