Got this in the mail this morning... sure brightened up a dull wet Melbourne day...
got it for $225 plus $10 postage... I love a bargain... and it's very clean... pics taken just as I unpacked it ten minutes ago.
There's an exhibition of exotic automobiles in the city this weekend - just might take it along for a "trial" shoot.
cheers

My $12 purchase.
Hi all, I need you to wish me luck! I just attempted to order the D5100 while I still lacked $300.00 of available credit needed to completely cover the cost, and so far it looks as if it went through! My fingers are crossed while I wait for a tracking number to confirm it is going to be shipped without a problem of lack of funds available! 
WooHoo! Having my fingers crossed must have worked, because my new D5100 has been shipped!

Which one did you get??? Let me know how you like it once you figure it out... So far, either I hold mine or prop it against a chair or light stand...

It's a very famous Chinese brand ;-) got it off eBay for $24.
basically it's a stick with extensions.. It has adjustable holders and clamps for different sizes of reflectors.. Also has a couple of bulky boom clamps.. Exactly like what you get from proper branded ones..

Nothing wrong with that! I have thought of getting one myself.... just have not moved yet.

I picked up some filter caps. They're metal (I think I'd prefer plastic) and they screw onto both ends of my filter for protection. I have a few filter sleeves but wanted something more substantial.

Well if you go back in my blogs you will see my nefarious plan I have been working on for a while. It worked!! My D7000 should be here any day now.

The D5100 will be her main camera and I will use it for a backup. I did buy her a 18-200 macro to use with it since she would not like changing lenses at all. Was not the best lens but I did go shoot with it one afternoon and was pretty happy with it. For a walk around lens for what she shoots it will do quite fine.
