New Camera Equipment
Well, I finally broke down and ordered some new equipment for my camera. I'd like to get a nice frame, but I really can't cost justify it at this point. The next frame I get will be a full-frame CMOS sensor with anti-static coating and vibration technology to remove dust from the sensor, plus it will have to shoot at least 5 fps for 7 seconds, have a true spot meter, a rule-of-thirds optical grid, view-and-shoot-thru LCD sensor, plus a lot of other things too long to go into here. So, since I'm not going to be getting a new frame this year, I figured I'd break down and get a decent flash, a larger grip, and a bracket to mount the flash on. I ended up going with the following:
- Canon Speedlite 580EX Flash
- Stroboframe PRO-T flash bracket
- Stroboframe Camera Anti-Twist Plate
- Canon BG-E2 Battery Grip
- Canon BP-511A Lithium-ion Batteries
- Custom Canon Eyecup from TheCameraHunter.com
Apparently there's some modifications required to get the flash brack, anti-twist plate, and the BG-E2 grip all working properly, but I figure it will be worth improvement.
