I'm getting it delivered today. However, I've had a couple of chances to play with the camera and I like the feel in my hand a lot. The xti always felt too small, which is why I have the battery grip for it. I am also going to be getting a grip for the 7d but I can go without it as well.

 

its kind of funny, my grip lives on my 40D 24/7.

during my trip i took it off for a day to see what it felt like, and i definitely didnt like it

so the grip will stay on 24/7.

 

Just got my first DSLR

Nikon D3000
18-55mm VR Lens
55-200mm VR Lens

 

same for my d300 i only take it off for rig shots. I had to replace my ball head since the d300 gets heavier every time with the grip and 17-55mm.

 

Me too! Same exact setup!!! Can't wait to be 4 rows from the field on Sunday for the Seahawks game even though they suck, I should get some great pics.

 

Just ordered:
AB800 (320ws)
Foldable Large Softbox 32"x40"
22" Beauty Dish with Diffusion Sock
40* Grid for BD

I'll pick up an Einstein when they're released in January along with a CyberCommander when they come back in stock.

I've got a few things for sale if anyone is interested:
1) Elinchrom Skyports (one transmitter, 2 receivers, cables, chargers, and cases) - Paid $280, selling for $190.
2) A mint Crumpler 8 Million Dollar Home in red. It has never been used and still has the tags on it. - Paid $170, selling for $130.
3) Acratech leveling head - Paid $149, selling for $90.
4) Hoodman 90* viewfinder for Canon, Nikon, Sony, or Pentax - Paid $129, selling for $80

 

^^ What did you get to replace the Elinchrom triggers?

With all the equipment upgrades, it sounds like things are going well for you!

 

Nice arsenal dan my friend got an ab800 and a ab octobox along with a beauty dish and vagabond.

 

I haven't replaced them yet, but I will be getting a CyberCommander with CSRB+ receivers. They can adjust the flash power for the AlienBees and be used as normal triggers for my Canon flashes.

Thanks! Actually, I've been fine-tuning my kit over the last year which has involved selling more than buying. Before I was buying a lot of gear thinking that "I might use that one day" but I now I put my money in gear that I use the most. Everyone works differently, so I'll let them use the stuff I don't use as much.


Thanks! I plan on building my own vagabond with more energy-dense D-size rechargables and a pure sine wave inverter. The Vagabond is great but it's very heavy. I don't think my solution would be any cheaper, but it would be about half the weight with the same power output.

 

Yea there alot of diy and other packs if you google them. I told my friend the vaga is not worth it.

check some of them out online its crazy what people do.

 

Ok, things are final, so I can post up now.
