Yes talking about the new Manfrotto ones, they tighten up very easily and we’ll, not noticed any slackness or any part coming undone They appear solid and I am comfortable with my 6kg + payload

I got one of these when first announced and then bought a couple more, I quite like them and they are stable, I replaced my longstanding Hex clamps with them

I have and use all three peak design sizes, but prefer the leash as it is less bulky and gets in the way less, especially when using a monopod or tripod I tend to use the wider straps  if carrying ...

The rolling shutter example from canon didn’t exactly fill me with confidence  for BIF shots when I first saw it, and although I have pre ordered the R3, I will await the release and real world ...

I share your concerns and whilst I have placed a pre order, I have to say I am concerned about rolling shutter effects on BIF i expected more comments from when the camera was released to selected ...

Its all spherical objects or in this case hemispherical objects if Canon designers need something interesting to be getting on with then there are a few more exotic saleable items they could look ...

That’s why I haven’t commented on the thread for 6 years, until now of course Bring on the R7, I assume it’s what the RF 800mm was designed for

Acknowledged, many thanks for the info Regards Neil

I solely use DPP4 for processing large mounts of images and have no wish to change processing software and currently use a windows desktop, however I will need to upgrade this at some stage going ...

One other thing you could check and it’s a long shot is your metering mode, you haven’t changed it inadvertently

42 is the meaning of life, this is clearly more important to some people

I use the Wimberely mh100 mentioned earlier, and find it the best head I have used for a monopod work, and also for carrying the rig over my shoulder I shoot with a 600mm f4 and use the 3 section ...

Damn, but thanks

30mp sounds good particularly if it’s on ASPH, has Canon stated anywhere that it will be full frame as the ASPH sat between the 5D AND 1DS bodies Additionally what’s the point of having 6 Full ...

Has Canon ruled out using either an ASPH or ASPC size sensor, because the ASPH sensor do the 1D series used to sit between the top 1Ds body and 5 Series

Fabulous
