My purchase has arrived! I had a bit of a scare though, half way through the day I got an email saying they attempted delivery but failed as no one was in, I found this strange cause every other Amazon delivery driver has left everything at my house, from a PS4 to Batteries and a charger to a lens with no problem.

So I quickly got onto the Amazon app and changed the settings to say I dont mind it being left in a safe place, half an hour later I got an email saying that the package had been left. Got home and there it was.

Happy Daz!! Cant wait to get out tomorrow night to do some HSS Shooting!!

Glad that worked out for you.

We don't get home delivery, it all goes through the post office which is safer, sometimes takes a few weeks (months if from China) but at least it is safe and secure.

Love to see how your new set up works for you and what kind of images it can produce. I have only used Nikon's CLS system but keep thinking I should convert to a radio system and Yongnuo seems to have a good rep and bonus it is the cheapest option.

I just ordered a tripod and ball head with extra QR plate. Adorama has a Memorial Day Sale going on. It was in my price range and looks like it will do what I want for now. Time will tell. Ha!

I hate the post office with a passion and avoid it like the plague! They just flat out suck near me! I will order from Amazon even if it is a little more expensive to not use them.

The Neewer worked flawlessly!! I used the sound on the flash to make sure it was firing and there was no problem with it, it recyled quickly with my Eneloop Pros and I cant fault the system. I think the Yongnuo system would work just as good as this.

Here are a couple shots of the flash being put through its paces tonight, I didnt go light on it, one of these shots I was shooting straight into the sun so it needed to use a lot of power to light Paul my model :)

Just putting my shots on here I see my exposure compensation is down by a stop, no wonder it was so dark when I thought it would be the correct exposure, I shall change that !!

Did you buy it through Adorama and did you get the price I displayed? Just curious as I am getting a "Backorder" status on the tripod through Adorama, but the extra QR plate says it will be shipped soon.

Thanks

Adorama is trying to confuse me. Ha! They have the 264AB-100 listed as "Backordered" on my order, but on their web site they have them listed as "in stock online". Of course that is listing it for the higher price again. :confused: I figure there will be an update on my order tomorrow or the next day (hopefully).

Adorama has become frustrating for me. There site says one thing than they ship 1/2 the order telling you xyz is on back order. My last order was like that. Hope yours go better.

Ha, Looks like the same deal I am supposed to get from Adorama. I see B&H is waiting to get some in stock also. Adorama doesn't seem to have the same deal now, however. Their price has gone back up to $179.

I got mine in just under the wire. It has allegedly shipped. I am suppose to have it the 2nd per ups. I saw your post and I read some reviews and Roy's comment and I went for it. There is some stuff I want to try and the tripod I have is just too flimsy. Hope you get some good news from Adorama tomorrow.

Arrived (in a rather soggy box since the USPS left it on my [covered] porch in a deluge) today!

Nikon WC-E75A Wide-Angle lens and UR-E22 Adapter. The adapter mounts to my P7100, and the lens converts the 28mm equivalent lens to a 21mm equiv.

I use the P7100 when size and weight are THE primary considerations. I just felt that 28mm equiv is a bit too narrow for sweeping vistas.

Just checked Adorama web site and it looks like the price on the tripod is back up to full retail of $209 and is listed as "In Stock Online" whatever that means. If I get it, I will be pleased with the $80 savings. Ha! I am in the same boat as you Danno for quality or how well it will work. I also only had a cheap and old tripod that just was not quite cutting it. I have no clue how well this one will work out, but the price and specs seemed to be good. I also liked the center column being able to pivot off the side to the various angles.

I pulled the trigger on an ICE ND1000 filter, two Goja stepup rings for the filter to fit my lenses, and a Polaroid Shutter Release Timer Remote Control. Coming from Amazon next week (maybe).
