Someone gave me a monolight a while back, but I don't have a lightstand for it. What's a decent $50ish lightstand I can get for this thing?

If anyone's interested, I'm asking $295 for my Canon 40D (plus battery grip) in SA Mart.

I've got a Canon 7D - how bad would I hate myself if I bought a 16gb/266x card? Am I gonna be buffering after two RAW shots? I don't need 30 or anything, but it's gotta be useable. This card's too cheap, my hunch is it's gotta be a piece of poo poo.

^^ I won't argue that, but

When you consider that the 50 1.8 lacks edge sharpness and vignettes like crazy at f1.8,

Granted it's been a few years since I used one, but when I did I always shot wide open and I don't remember mine vignetting at all?

Friend wants to start selling poo poo, needs an easy lightbox setup. Has anybody bought one of the cheap kits like they have on Amazon (something like this), or something similar to it? I've built a cheap and easy cardboard lightbox for myself before, but I'd rather just point her somewhere where she can buy everything ready-made. From what I'm reading, the downside to all these kits is the lovely, lovely lights, which isn't surprising considering the cost.

Quality strap brands? Nothing fancy needed, although quick release is nice. I wouldn't mind something cloth/woven, but everything I see on amazon is ugly as hell.

That's really, really nice looking. It's hard to tell from pictures, does the strap really lock on tight to the clips? It looks like gravity holds them on as much as anything, but surely they're meant to be bounced around a lot.

I cracked the hotshoe mount on my 580EX, and while I�ve found a reasonably-priced replacement I�m wondering if anyone�s done this and has any tips. It doesn�t look like there�s much to it, just two screws and a cable�?

Are you opening up the flash unit?

I don't think I'll have to, it looks like they were smart enough to build it so that the part that's easiest to break is easy to replace. Just judging from the screws it looks like the mount is completely separate from the rest of the unit. Guess I'll find out.
