If you've got a standalone flashgun, have a look at the Orbis. You slot it in the bottom and you can trigger it via sync cord or whatever remote triggering method you can use. I've been pleased with the results I've got on my portrait shoots whenever I've used it. A similar product is the...

Just catching up on this thread having read it with interest as I have an older Elinchrom D-Lite 2 kit and Panasonic G3 myself. My main camera for studio work is my Nikon D300 so not had any triggering probs with that and the Elinchroms. Have been meaning to have a play (mainly out of...

Hi Chris, Take a look at this link: Prohibited and Restricted Items on what you can and can't take in. You chould be OK with photographic equipment so long as it is under 30cm in length. Probably worth printing this off and taking it with you in case you have any probs at entry. From the...

:plusone:: for Tony Beal from me. Bought some a couple of years ago following a thread on here and it's still going strong.

I've been using a set of 16 channel receivers / trigger from Hong Kong (via ebay) to fire off my Elinchrom Dlite2's. Had absolutely NO problems whatsoever. No misfires yet and have been really pleased with them. Had them for over a year now and I don't use them every day but on the occasions...

Cool. Good luck with it all. Ley us know how you get on. John

Hi MacAddict, Have a look at this post for some more info on vinyl backdrops. A few of us on here have bought some 2.5m wide vinyl for substantially less than you'd pay for a Lastolite equivalent. LINK Hope the info is useful. John

They're my local camera shop in Watford and have bought a few bits and bobs from them in the past. Always had good service. HTH

Sounds a bit daft but I also had a go with the Quality Street wrappers idea. I managed to turn my whole living room red with one over the front of my SB800 and shooting on my D300. Not used them properly other than that quick test but it seemed to work and was also free. Any excuse to eat...

Another thumbs up for the Poundland windscreen sunblinds. They have a great silver textured surface and fold up very small too.

Here are my experiences so far (in reply to Smurfette's follow up thread) LINK Looking forward to using it some more soon.

I would have thought that you'd be able to use the built in Nikon Creative Lighting System (CLS) with your D60 to trigger the SB600. Set the SB600 into remote mode and then use the pop up flash on your D60 as the commander - you'll need to put the D60 in the relevant mode (have a look in the...

Hi TG, It is 2.5m wide and I bought just over 6m (better to have too much than not enough I thought!). Looks perfect for portraits and I've certainly worked with narrower backdrops before now. Cheers, John
