A slip of the hand...a sickening *crunch*

:( Luckily however the crunch came from my ebay radio trigger. A large crack has appeared around the hotshot mount on the trigger, but fortunately the camera's fine.

I really need to be more careful :gag:
 
Look on the bright side, if you'd have bought some expensive, tougher triggers, it might have broken the camera instead!
 
my umbrella stand fell over the other day and now my receiver doesnt work so I have to get some more ones :(
 
Years without anything, then smashed my old Nikon 18-200VR followed by my Sigma 150mm 2.8 macro a month later.... :(
 
my grip fell to the floor and dissasembled it self when cleaning my old camera, luckily the camera wasnt attached at the time.
 
When on holiday with my first ever AF camera (EOS 1000) I noticed my then 6yo daughter examining it carefully. "Do I have a new photo buddy?" I thought.
When we got home there was a Tall Ships event in Aberdeen so off I went with the kids in tow. My son wanted to take his Teenage Mutant Turtles Camera with him so there we were snapping furiously film after film.
Turns out that my daughter had dropped my camera and something went drastically wrong inside. The shutter worked and it wound the film on but that was all.
Now the only photos we have of that day and holiday are crumby 110 film prints with a TMHT superimposed in the corner. OCH!!!
 
Dropping a lens or the camera would ne a nightmare, touch wood haven't done this yet.
 
Ouch! I feel your pain :(
I dropped a camera ages ago. Luckily the camera was fine, but my new polariser took a hit.
 
I'm not too fussed about the trigger...when I get back from Canada I'll be buying a set of studio flash heads and a background (I love overseas pay :D). Glad it's ok though, as I have a shoot tomorrow :lol:
 
I snapped the tripod mount off my pt-04, which is kinda annoying, but it has fallen over about 10 times before it broke. My Jessops 300AFD flash on the other hand has survived being run over by mountain bikes twice recently and still works perfectly!
