shellylh Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) Got my Blackrapid Sport-2 camera strap today. It is awesome - wish I could walk so I could take some pictures. The only thing that is annoying is not being able to use the RRS L-plate and tripod with having to unscrew the FastenR-3 every time. I guess there is the RRS quick release clamp option but that doesn't seem very secure. Anyone use the strap with the a quick release clamp? Edit: Just saw the Blackrapid FR-T1 fastener for tripods. Has anyone tried this? http://www.blackrapi...hardware/fr-t1/ Edit #2: NM, seems like the FR-T1 won't work. Colin - you need this strap, a macro, and a tripod. Get on it.

Duggeh Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 That's a hell of a box set, Yikes. I seem to have just bought a WM-DD33
Salt Peanuts Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 Fuck I miss my Walkmans (or is it Walkmen?).

Black Rapid is working on a RRS piece that works with the $60 RRS quick release mount. I have been using the quick release with no issues for a month now.
jvlgato Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) Volcano to go with my Arête. Really like the Arête so far ... very clean, detailed, great mids, but could be a bit more dynamic and could use a bit more bass. I'll wonder what the Volcano would do until I get it. Plus, I sold off a bunch of stuff! Todd laughed ... 'Already?! That was fast!' He really is a good guy to work with. Makes you feel good about buying from him. Edited November 29, 2011 by jvlgato
justin Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 I would like a compact P&S, but I'd like to see that S95 go a little lower to justify.
swt61 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 I would like a Pico, but... Just kidding, no rock throwing please.
pigmode Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 Got a new 3 prong yesterday, saved $21. http://808golfstore.netfirms.com/store/page3.html Then these--Livestrong Radar Path, and Flak Jacket XLJ
Dreadhead Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 Phot Then these--Livestrong Radar Path, and Flak Jacket XLJ With the photocromatic lenses? If so let inquiring minds know how they work out.
morphsci Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 Excellent! Now order the Franiec grip http://www.kleptography.com/rf/#camera_s90
pigmode Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 Phot With the photocromatic lenses? If so let inquiring minds know how they work out. I wish--just black iridium. I need to change the Livestrong to red iridium, because the black can be sketchy cycling with debris and potholes when coming out of tree shadows.
Dreadhead Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 Cool. I gave up on Oakley a while ago for riding and just use the photocromatic Tifosi glasses. They aren't probably as perfect as oakley's but I can by a new pair for less than the cost of lenses.
CD44hi Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 i am a big fan of the Smith's interchangeable lens system
pigmode Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 Need to look into Tifosi, and check out how fast they react. We have 2 short tunnels at the top of a petite climb with fast running traffic, not the smoothest paving inside, and 40+ mph when you hit daylight.
Dreadhead Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 The Tifosi work really well and respond pretty quickly. I've never had much of an issue but I don't ride in conditions that dangerous often. The Oakley stuff is probably a bit faster but I can buy like 5 pairs for the same price. I can't see any CA or other optical issues with them at all and they hold on to my face well even when I'm wearing winter hat under my helmet. Years of being a sailor (where how good your optics are doesn't matter because they are getting salt on them) has made me agnostic to high end glasses for sports. That said I want Oakley Jawbones with the photochromatic lens.... Will not be getting them as I rather get a new helmet or something.

I like my Tifosi's as well, try checking out the Rudi brand if you can. I haven't had a situation where the light changes quickly at speed, mostly wide open hills with off-camber turns but the Rudis seem to handle varying light conditions well.
n_maher Posted November 29, 2011 Report Posted November 29, 2011 I love my mil spec Oakleys. I plan to pick up something like the Radar Path for cycling in the spring.

cetoole Posted November 30, 2011 Report Posted November 30, 2011 Colin - you need this strap, a macro, and a tripod. Get on it. How do I know I need that strap without a proper Shelly review? I bought a tripod, unipod, and smaller bag for it today. Which macro? I definitely want one. I need to clean my mirror.
