Hi lookign to pick up a double camera harness/strap. I've been happy with the previous Blackrapid stuff I've brought so I'm considering the BlackRapid Breathe Double. They do a Slim version and as well as the standard version. I'm guessing at 6'2" and 200lb the standard might be the best...

Yes, that's how I was charging. Wasn't sure how it would work with two batteries loaded in the grip previously. I did wonder if the larger power supply would allow charging whilst powered up but the LEDs on the grip turned off when powered up.

I asked about charging batteries in the R5's battery grip using a USB power pack some time ago. Just to update if anyone's interested I finally tried this with the DELL USB C power pack I use for my laptop yesterday and it charged both batteries successfully. If I'm interpreting the LEDs on...

Hi, is anyone using the 256GB version of the Integral Ultima Pro Cinematic CF Express Card to record 120fps 4K. Seems to be good value £/gb compared to the 128gb version but the sustained write speed is the lowest in the range. It's still quoted as having a 'ATTO Disk Benchmark - 400MB/s...

Well the hill climbs pretty straight forward. I'd give exact places but it seems to change every year I go in terms of visibility, with different barriers or bridges appearing. For the rally stage I spend most of my time on the inside. As you head up the hill through the trees to the right of...

If it helps I managed these without media access from spectator areas: Fos 2021 Of those only the A4 was shot from a ticketed grandstand when one of the FoS guides let us up without tickets at the end of the day.

Actually I've just found a note that says the power pack I bought for my laptop is PD compliant so I'll try that with the grip connected, once I've had a chance to charge the 2nd battery with the standard charger and run it down a little. Its 65W so plenty of power although I might be looking...

Finally took the plunge and purchased an R5. Picked up an extra battery and grip at the same time (along with the rf 24-70 2.8….might have got a bit carried away :oops: :$ ). I’ll be using it for motorsport so I’m looking for options to keep the batteries topped up to allow full fps when...

Thanks Adrian, that’s perfect.

Have any R5 users purchased from Panamoz and noticed any issues with regional hardware/firmware. Just read a couple of seemingly isolated posts about not being able to connect to image.canon with a camera purchased in China (not from Panamoz). Just wondered what people's experiences were here?

Thanks for the thorough reply Andrew, it’s appreciated. I had a feeling the answer might be along those lines. I guess I’ll just keep practising and maybe set myself some different challenges for each event. Cheers

Hi guys I've been getting more involved with motorsport photography this year attending more meetings (by my standards) and spending more time viewing other people's work and it's raising some questions for me as to what's required from someone with media accreditation. It's not the normal...

Well the reviews generally seem to be better this time round ( not on here obviously [emoji23]). Didn’t know what to expect but apart from Flintoff being a bit forced in the studio (sure that will improve with a little time) I was pretty impressed. More than one laugh out loud moment for me...

Obviously depends on your style but I'd say with full frame spectator side Silverstone is one track where the 500 is likely to be more useful. I've just run through my images on Flickr from my last 2 GT visits and I'd say around 50% are at 400mm or higher (and that doesn't take into account...

Yeah, I use the Adobe photography suite, so the Adobe bias suited me as well. Think there was only one talk on colour toning I liked the look of this year and it wasn’t on yesterday unfortunately.
