Camerachums - The Accessory Outlet

I bought it used off a guy on a camera forum for $150 I think. It was a little beat up but not bad. One of the clamps is hard to work with but still functions.

carbon fiber :tup:. Is it light?

Yeah it's pretty light. I need to get a better head for it though, the one that is on it is kinda flimsy. I'd like to get a squeeze grip ball head from manfroto or something. Depends on if it will fit in the carrying case I use or not.

Had a little fun this weekend with a friend.

I like it! Wish there had been just a little bit more seperation between your friend and the handlebars of the bike but I can understand why that might be hard to get just right. Lighting looks good overall but the whole image, on my calibrated monitor, is just a hair dark in exposure. Still, cool idea and great capture!

Thanks man, Totally agree about his location. I hate how his leg touches the handlebar. It was a fun shoot though, every time I flashed him while he was in the air he would fall down the steps due to him being blind lol.

I seriously need to calibrate my monitors accurately lol. At work it seems darker and at home brighter. That's a big no no haha.

Last weekend I got to shoot the two C7Z06's that I had previously posted a thread for. I also got to take some very quick photos of another friend's new GTR Nismo. Robert, the owner, received his car just a few weeks ago. It is the second GTR Nismo built for the US. Robert has only made one change the car so far, the Overtake carbon fiber GTR badge on the rear of the car (featured in one shot) which is a pretty cool piece, made out of five layers of CF. He also had an Overtake hood on order that came in the week before the shoot. He was planning to have it on the car in time for the photos but sadly it was damaged in shipping and will have to be replaced. The weather was insanely cold, dreary, and gray but we did the best we could with what little time we had left. Not really a whole lot of shots so not really worthy of a stand alone thread so here's my fav:

Just saw this and thought some of you might be interested. It looks like a very well-designed hand strap. I have one of the standard Canon straps and it really is pretty crappy to use.

I use a handstrap, I like it but I find it restrictive.

That's what interested me in this one. Looks much less restrictive.

Mine makes using the front most dial a PITA, but the security of the strap is worth it. I usually most everything at 1/160 so I don't use the dial for shutter control much, but it makes image review a serious annoyance. The strap you linked to looks pretty promising to help fix that problem.

BTW, when I switched to the 5D from the 7D, I had to adjust to the front dial to change through the images rather than the rear dial of the 7D whish made adjusting to the strap more of a pain.

Have you checked the custom functions setup? I know on the 7D you can assign different functions to the various buttons and wheels. You don't have to live with the default settings.
