I bought a collapsible backdrop also yesterday, just waiting for it to turn up. Black on one side, white on the other, 2M x 1.5M.

Have gone for the X1T-N for now as its half the price ofo the pro, just to see how I get on. It doesn't look too bad to use and could add the Pro on at a later date if need be.... First time using off camera flash so want to do a bit of experimenting, have never even owned an umbrella before...

Maybe I needed to reword my OP, so many different model numbers, yet now I figured out there is one for each receiver and transmitter and also different ones for each male of camera (hotshoe). Thanks for confirming what I thought (y)

I think I need the X1T-N, it was the model numbers stumping me, of course X1R is a receiver and X1T is the transmitter....

Morning fellow snappers I need a way to trigger my Godox V860II from my Nikon D850. Can anyone recommend a good Godox wireless transmitter that supports HSS? So many options to consider. Thanks

860mk2 arriving later, thanks for your suggestions. Now to figure out how to use the thing :pompous:

Thanks for the replies, yes the SB-400 was second hand so going to go for new this time. I’ll check out your recommendations (y)

Basically had a SB-400 for a while but never used it - Now I find it's failed when I want to use it (and find out it's actually useful) So what is a good replacement, I'm just getting used to flashes and am a 2nd photographer at a wedding so need to sort one quite soon Wedding not till April...

Only about a 100ft garden but will be used elsewhere like zoo's etc

Ah sorry, I never mentioned that did I Longer focal length (y)

Well it's not something I do for a living so don't want to be spending loads. Maybe £500? But preferably less! :giggle:

Evening I currently have a D850 with a 50mm f/1.8 and a 24-120 f/4. I find I'm using the 24-120 for stuff I would have used the 50mm for before, so looking at getting rid of that to put towards a new lens. Looking at getting a better zoom lens, as I've found I like taking photos of wildlife in...

How do the likes of Max Spielmann compare? Just had a 16x12 done of my lad and it doesn’t look particularly sharp (compared to my 4k monitor anyway).

8TB is a lot of data to lose if the drive fails. Do you have redundancy? Not too familiar on the WD NAS, is it raided? Of course you would need 2 x 8TB in a Raid 1 setup.

Bear in mind putting a 50mm on a Canon crop sensor will give you 80mm, until she upgraded to a full frame body, so the 50mm 1.8G would be a good purchase at this point (first lens I bought when I had a crop sensor body).
