I agree about the spares.
I have the Cactus V2s. They work great with my non canon flashes.
I can't find a brand on my optical triggers. They came from mpex. I never got them to fire. If I had to get those again I'd go with the wein ones...
I can't find it. I did find the pack of about a trillion batteries I couldn't believe I lost so the search wasn't a total waste.
There are a lot of cheap ones available over at adorama (and other places, they just came up first in the search) that are probably worth trying. $70 to see if...
My ebay triggers are triggered by my 430ex flash. This is not good. The cheap optical triggers I've purchased have never worked. The wireless triggers work fine with my vivitar flash.
mpex has some strobist kits. You might want to try them.
I hate the rebel's power switch. Much prefer the 40D style. Course I've been using that style of switch since my Canon EOS A2 I picked up like 15 years or so ago.
I forgot one thing about the 40D that I really like - live view. If you use a tripod it is like working with a view camera. Just...
I have one. Its voltage is too high for any of my digital cameras. It WAS cheap as it was a sunpak. It worked great for macros.
I'm happier with off camera flashes.

I think the head referenced in this article is around $70 without the quick release...

How am I pushing it? They ask for a product and I post the one I like. The OP can download it and see if they like it. They don't have to buy it first. And half the time I warn that it isn't free just in case that is an instant no.
As an aside I did see the OP mention that they might buy...
After all of that I bought a Blue Microphones snowball. The samples seemed good. Reviews seemed good. Price was great. I kept getting nickle and dimed by cables and everything else. This seems like a nice mic to get started with. If I use it a lot I'll buy something better.
Thanks for the...
Except I'd have to buy a preamp and cables. Still, I'm thinking of doing something like that. Just to give me a few more options...
Thanks for the suggestions!
