Re: G12 macro jewelry photography

To throw in for table top sets, this is one rig I usually carry in a messenger-laptop sized bag.

The little soft box is $30: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/872174-REG/impact_ebo_0699_quikbox_micro_on_camera_softbox.html

Choice of flashes on the used market can run from $50+. The Canon 430EX series is a nice pairing. KEH or the various forum classifieds. Have debated 2.4GHz wireless ETTL compatible triggers but at $15 for the cord this is a low cost worry free solution. (Non firing trigger instances.)

The L-brackets work very nicely but I don't know what may be available for the G12 if this appeals. This rig is quite portable and offers "on the table top" sets with minimal space used.
