I do not look in on this forum as much as i would like and was saddened to read the news of Garys passing when i logged in today. A straight talking man who didnt suffer fools gladly. I had a few online chats with the man and can say his advice was invaluable to me. Condolences go to his...

Just realised i may have posted this in the wrong section. If so could the mods please move to ' Talk lighting and studio' if that's ok. Thanks

Hi all, was wondering if anyone has had experience of using a YN 568 flash with pocket wizard TT5s. What i want to know specifically is will the flash work in HSS when using it in conjunction with the TT5? Do all the functions work with the flash used off camera? Can't seem to find the info...

Thank you HoppyUK. Much appreciated.:thumbs: It looks like the S fit mount is too small at 94mm to fit my flash heads. Mods you can lock this thread now if you like.

Hi all, I'm after a little help from anyone who has a bowens s mount accessory for their flash heads. I'm after the internal measurement across the hole. Please see image I have portaflash units and want to know if the s fit hole size is bigger than the diameter of my portaflash head. I...

Now why didn't Canon explain it as you have.:thumbs: I did try it as you explained, but i didn't explain it as well as you did in my post. Apologies if i confused anyone. Probs down to user error as per usual....:) or maybe a dodgy CF card. Never mind updated now. Thanks for clarification.

Could only update firmware on my 7D from EOS utility. Try as i might the camera would not recognise the updated firmware file on various cf cards.:shrug: Downloaded update various times from US site and UK site but didn't work. And i did format the cards in camera and made sure it was in the 1st...

Thanks for the input Quoth. Yeah its got to be a laptop, never get chance to get on the desk top that i've got now! Anyway decided to get the HP G6 after all. Had another £35 off with a voucher code. So all in all i paid £545 for a not badly specced laptop, happy now. Just got to transfer...

Thanks for the reply arad85. I think with my budget i am looking at getting the best resolution i can get for my money. Even going up in price a bit will not get me a full HD res spec screen. In reality i think its the holy grail to get a ips or full HD screen for sub £900. Like you say you...

I know, i know, another laptop thread. Spent most of this weekend looking back at 'what laptop' threads on here, and have really had an overload of data. I want to upgrade from my current laptop top which is a 5yr old HP compaq and doesn't cut the mustard any more. Haven't got a big budget so...

Just gone back to the laptop and hey presto the 5d decides to shoot tethered as if nothing was wrong this morning.:thinking: Don't ask what i did, because nothing has changed from this morning. Anyway alls well now.:clap: Len

Just gone back to the laptop and tried again and hey presto the 5D shoots tethered.:clap: Whats all that about! All the faffing i did this morning to no avail and now it decides to work as it should:thinking::lol: Anyway i'm happy now. Thank you whom for your help.

Has any one had/has problems shooting tethered to a pc running xp. I have just purchased a 5D mk1 and cant get it to be recognised by eos utility unless its set to print/ptp in the camera menu.Then when i then press the 'remote shooting' icon in eos utility it asks for the camera to be set to...

Thanks for taking the trouble to find info for me. I've been trawling the internet myself but cannot find much out. I've contacted Canon tech support, awaiting a reply. Cheers Len
