In need a compact arca Swiss type for my travel tripod and this seems to be worth a try. Not too over engineered and would be capable of supporting DSLR and 100-200mm lens. There are a couple of others on Amazon for a similar price and equally "Good" reviews. Decisions.....

Took this yesterday with the K3 and 100mm Macro WR. Quite pleased with the detail.

Just to let you know that SRS now have them in stock? Mine arrived this morning - From SRS via Royal Mail.

Looks well made. Stuck it on the DA 300 and the results look good in camera. Ordered back to work, so no time to post anything.

To be brutally honest, by the general look of the inside of the machine and connectivity available on the rear, I think your desktop machine is due for an upgrade? Packard Bell are not renown for being easy to upgrade either - Had two of them in the past. If you are confident with the upgrade process, start with a main board bundle, a power supply and a case. You will be able to make your choice as to HDDs, Memory and Processer etc. Have a scan around the Novatech link site for instance, to get an idea of what's available and prices.

Maybe clone out the top of the post above the hedge, behind the tree and also the Channel 4 Logo in the sky

Everyone has their own view on the world through the lens.

I like it as it is, heralding a pleasant sunny day - nicely done.

Nice rare capture Tom. This bird is usually silent and unseen amongst the reeds!

Mine arrived this morning from SRS. Ordered yesterday - well packed or what! Seems to work as advertised when connected to my iPad. Just need to have a few more practice sessions to explore the full functionality.
Image transfer from camera to iPad Air seems to be slow. Not having used this type of card before, not sure what would be classed as slow if you get my meaning.
When the card is inserted, the confirmation beep(s) are quite quiet. Needed to change the sleep time on the camera from 1 min (Factory Set) to 10 mins in order to keep the connection between the camera and iPad live whilst fiddling around etc.
iPad found the Flu Card right away, once the camera had booted it up. Did not read the bit in the card instructions at first (Who does!), as to the default password - 12345678.

Look forward to comments from others
