I have a friend who leaving the US and coming back to Europe and asked if he could crash on my sofa for a week. "Only if you bring me an RS-7"

Fungah posted:drat straight. It costs the same in pounds here as in dollars in the states. Plus I couldn't find it in the UK with the 3rd generation mount. I got my parents to bring one back from B&H. It's kind of ridiculous. We're already gauged so much in Europe, do they really have to get us on accessories too?

Fungah posted:I'm assuming its because BR are a relatively small company that doesn't have the massive distribution network which makes it expensive for them to send relatively few units over here. I dunno, the distributor they use in the UK is the same one that litepanel uses - and those prices are relatively in line with the US prices. Dollar = Pound prices just really rub me the wrong way. (I have been researching into buying a black rapid strap and litepanels)

Haggins posted:If you want I can mail you one from the US. I don't think it'd cost Thanks for the offer. My friend is a camera nut and is in NYC for a week so he'll definitely be hitting up B&H, so hopefully he'll be able to pick up the strap no problem. I'll let you know if he fails though, and I might take you up.

My Domke in case of emergency can carry three pineapples. This is however without any camera equipment stored.

It's very comfortable, durable, and cheap. It's under a $100. I've seen another photog hold his 40d with 70-200 in the top compartment. I have this and it's great.

If you're on your feet for any length at all I strongly recommend getting a backpack no matter how dorky it looks. As neat as messenger style bags are they can really murder your back.

jsmith114 posted:Thanks for all of the replies. Just when I thought I had decided on the Retrospective 10 I started looking at eBay prices and noticed a bunch of Malaysian sellers listing new Crumpler 7MDH for $65. These guys don't have much positive feedback - this has to be counterfeit or something, right? I'd imagine bags have a huge markup and the wholesale prices are quite low so it might be ligt and through a weird loophole. I got my domke for nearly 60% off on ebay and it's definitely legit. Of course that was from a domestic seller so your milage may vary.

Just won a Think Tank Airport International v2 on ebay! Hope it's worth it.

DJExile posted:They're supposed to be fantastic. I'll be curious to see what you think of it. Yeah, I really want a roller that isn't a pelican as I'll actually be rolling it quite a bit travelling around London. Apparently the wheels are great and it just eats gear. I've heard pelicans end up being much smaller than you think they'll be and the rolling wheels aren't ideal. I've managed to fit two strobe heads (BXRI 500s) in a Kata backpack and my stands and soft boxes come in pretty nice carrying cases so I can put my bodies and lenses in the think tank and just about have my whole set up be man portable.

My thinktank airport international 2 is pretty awesome. Of course I decided to try and save and got a second hand one on ebay which came with half the dividers they're supposed to so I had to order another set. It's pretty great at what it does, it certainly isn't inexpensive. But for the amount of gear I was carrying on my back I really needed a nice trolly bag. I can just about fit my monolights in it too but they actually are lighter than my bodies and lenses so they stay in my backpack, but I can probably configure a loadout that's just a body and lens and maybe one strobe head.

Boo got shot posted:Hey folks, hard cases are pretty trendy but don't fit nearly as much space as you think you do. I would strongly recommend think tank stuff if you're going to conditions where you don't need a case that can be submersed in water or sustain anvils falling from the sky. The airport international is awesome and eats all my gear. In a pinch I could probably fit in a mono head with a body and lenses or two mono heads.

Yeah, the wheels for pelican cases are awful. The Think Tank stuff has like proper rubberised wheels that work on uneven ground and such
