I put black tape over the “SONY” on the front top of my A7III and A7RII. I work as an event photographer. This discourages conversations, pro or con, from event attendees. Not that I don’t want to ...

Sorry to hear the Desmond L-bracket is out of stock. I have two, one each for my A7III and A7RII, and they work great with my wide range of Manfrotto R2 quick release tripod and monopod heads. Chec ...

Specifically, this is what Elvis of Flash Havoc wrote: “This transmitter is exclusively available from Flashpoint, not Godox (though fully compatible with both systems). “For a very brief summary ...

I got this one for my A7III: FITTEST DBLP01 Universal Quick Release L Plate / L Bracket for Manfrotto 200PL-14 RC2 Head https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072QXRDHW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_KYnVBbCF88Q Most ...

I found this at Adorama, did some Googling, and couldn't find any other mention of it. The Adorama Flashpoint R2 Pro MarkII 2.4GHz Transmitter for Canon You can see the Mark II has more buttons ...

Very interesting and useful blog post. I did not even know there were commercially available lists of keywords. Your comparison clearly took a lot of research. Thanks very much for sharing!

1) Try lowering the top of the white seamless so it is not visibly reflected in the furniture. All you need is white behind the furniture up to just above the top of the furniture, as seen from ...

OK, I understand about the marker box. It does sound simpler in terms of Sony's software programming. That would be too simplistic for me. I would really need the overlay capability, so I can make ...

Ok, now you’re talking! Being able to use a custom graphic in the viewfinder and/or rear LCD would be super helpful! Not only for the obvious custom aspect ratios, but for situations we often ...

I use a rocket blower first. If that doesn’t work, then a Visible Butterfly-type brush (can’t remember the actual mfg). If that doesn’t work, then swabs for my sensor size (FF) and Eclipse fluid. T ...

Thank you Brian Smith for emphasizing this to Sony. I’m no Sony Ambassador, just a guy trying to make money with my camera. Specifically, by taking photos that will be printed on-site at 4x6, 5x7 ...

This is probably also obvious, but the Auto Focus OFF/ON switch on the right side of the XPro-S has to be in the ON position. Since I never used it before installing the 1.1 update, I had ...

I have one like this: Thunderbolt 3 hub, Purgo Aluminum USB Type-C Hub Adapter Dongle 50Gbs for 2016-2018 MacBook Pro 13"&15" 4K HDMI, Thunderbolt 3 5K@60Hz, USB-C Data, 2 USB 3.0 and SD/Micro ...

Karen had a good point, that the casters sticking out were a weak point. They could get damaged by the baggage handlers when flying. So I re-engineered the casters to make them removable. Here's ...

Good suggestion. However the H200R modeling light seems weak at 4.3 watts. The AD-B2 bracket has two 20 W modeling lights. Since I only need and use one AD200 in the bracket, I can only power one ...

I have to take my light kit on a flight so I thought I’d show the new case I got, the casters I added to make it a rolling case, and how it is packed. My goals were 1) protecting the equipment, 2) ...

I use a generic, non-Sony A7-specific L-bracket with my Sony A7III. The screw that attaches the L-bracket to the camera rides in a slot. This allows the L-bracket to be positioned more towards the ...

I have a suggestion for the OP. From the transmitter, set the flash to a low (dim) value. Hit the test button to confirm that the flash worked, but dimly. This indicates it received the low value. ...
