[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 822431, member: 50197"] I am currently shooting macro with the Z7ii and a Godox TT685 on camera. I am also using a homemade swiss style diffuser. I will probably pull the trigger on an AK diffuser in the near future. I would like to explore off camera configurations. The issue with that is that most insects won't stay still long enough to set up for that. Another consideration is getting an adjustable flash bracket that would allow me to keep the flash mounted to the camera, but still allow me to have some flexibility to change the angle and distance of the flash. I'm afraid that might end up being rather bulky. In the end I suspect I will just end up doing a two channel technique. I could use off camera flash for more sedate subjects, and on camera for the flightier subjects. I have the perfect situation to try the off camera using my backyard wildflower plot. I can get my flash setup ready to go, and check the plot from time to time, and when I find a suitable subject, go grab my flash setup and try some different things. Right now I am just trying to take full advantage of a simple setup. Some of the areas that I shoot away from home, require a bit of a hike from my vehicle. This makes a heavy, bulky gear set much less attractive. I already carry far more bulk and weight in gear than I would like. Still, as the saying goes, one must suffer for ones art. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
