[QUOTE="pistnbroke, post: 111461, member: 9514"] Well I waited for a guess from someone but 106 people seem interested so here goes ... [B]Now its not an argument everyone has there own way of working a wedding so all be nice..... [/B]Its all a question of how you carry your camera ...well 2 because a spare camera is no good in the car and I aint paying some gormless kid to carry it . So the light duty mountaineering clip goes on the end of the normal Nikon strap and the split ring goes through ONE of the strap attachment eyes and the camera hangs from that . I carry one camera over my left shoulder under my jacket (so it cannot come off) and the other strap across my body also under jacket so it hangs towards the right side. I move my belt buckle out the way so the two dont hit and scratch. I can let go of one camera and pick up the other in seconds. The objective is to keep your hands free to work the wedding guests and you dont have a great lens sticking out your chest or have a bad neck after 5 or 6 hrs..... [B]So why not use a Tripod ...[/B]Well in the old hassleblad day I loved my tripod...well I had a break from wedding photos for 10 years and when I came back to it used a tripod ONCE ...no no never again...everything has changed. We have a group about 8-10 people..in the old days one shot covers it but not now ...Within that group is 5 or 6 photos ...the kids at the front ..the brother/sister on the RHS Mum and dad etc ....now you cannot do that with a tripod...Portrait change to landscape change to portrait ..drop the camera down for the kids .move in move out ..usless on a tripod even with the fabulus Manfrotto head model 222....so never used the tripod again ..I learnt quick !! But it gives me a space to stand I hear you say ....no no just tell them ..take all the photos you want but dont get between me an the bride and groom and dont ask me to slow down....no problem ..voice control and no one steals or adjusts your camera whilst you have your back to it ... You dont forget your tripod,get it kicked over by a guest or find its in the back of the shot where you dumped it for the hand held shot..you cannot use it anyway during the service ..no room ...sorry bye bye tripod [/QUOTE]
