[QUOTE="cellman2010, post: 560652, member: 40853"] Ok, so its almost that wonderful time of year again and I am looking to upgrade my gear this Fall, mainly flashes. I am shooting night high school football using a D3 and a Nikkor ED AFS 400mm 2.8. Last year I was using a tethered Canon Speedlite (on a monopod) and had exposure issues when the action would come towards me, mainly I assume due to no TTL metering. First question -- If I get an off brand flash like Yongnuo, will TTL help in my situation ? Also, would having two flashes mounted on my monopod work better ? (I've seen a few guys do this). If I get two flashes, what type of mount would you suggest to hold them along with my battery pack. I was using a superclamp last year with a cold shoe attachment. I don't have pocketwizards yet, but might end up getting those if they work better. Lastly, any disadvantage to mounting the flashes upside down ? Seems like that would add stability to my setup since I move around alot. The Speelite kept wanting to tip over and move mounted upright. Thanks for any help, cellman2010 [/QUOTE]
