[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 253302, member: 9240"] Thanks folks. On my way out the door I realized I'd left the RF remotes on my worktable in the office. I had an infrared remote, but that doesn't work on the D800, and guess which camera the 16-35 was on? I set them both up in the car to work on a 5 sec delay in self-timer mode. Gloves were on the entire time, with the exception of a couple seconds to switch the tripod mount, which is all they needed to get shocked. Truth is, sometimes it's too cold regardless of gloves. I've spoken to my brother, who has shot in this weather sitting on the ground outside the end zone in the Meadowlands for 3 hours during Giants and Jets games, and he says that there is nothing that works perfectly. He's had shoots where he's taken the gloves off to reveal blue fingertips. He's invested in a set of battery operated, heated gloves that he wears underneath the mittens mentioned (which work fine until you reveal the fingers and let the cold in - then they don't recover until they get some actual warmth). He invested $150 in them as anything cheaper didn't seem to work, but when you're in the cold as much as him it's worth it. I need to get to an outdoor store and try some hunting gloves as I hate to buy any gloves sight unseen. [/QUOTE]
