Photo equip for G12: ring flash and pan & tilt
Photo equip for G12: ring flash and pan & tilt
Mar 23, 2013
Hi, I have an undergraduate project which involves taking macro photos of small parts of dissected flowers over a graph paper or black background, and have around 300USD budget on accessories using my faithful Canon G12. I had thought that I need a ring flash and a good pan & tilt tripod head for my Slik Sprint Pro II.
I went on BH and there were a couple of ring flash for 'Canon', but I was not sure which are available for the G12 (or if they are available only for SLRs). For example, I liked this mid-priced item:

Does is it fit with my Adapter of the g12 and does the job?
I am also hopeless to choose a pan & tilt head. Any recommendation for around a 120USD or general advice how to choose a pan & tilt. When I browse for the different kinds, they all look the same in the corresponding bracket range.
I hope you can help.
Thank you in advance
Canon PowerShot G1 X
