I just received Big Ed

[Harry Settle]

Used so there's no directions with it, although its a no brainer. There is a button on the back, left hand side next to the battery cover that I don't know what it does. Also, when you turn the camera around and look at the lens end, Big Ed has a little flip switch that you could presumably operate with your pinky that I don't know what that does either.

Heavy sucka!

That switch is to turn on/off the vertical shutter release.

You mention a button on the back. If I am thinking the same place, that is the slot that the cable comes out if you put the main's adaptor into the battery compartment. If it's another location, ignore my drivel.

[Harry Settle]

Thanks, that's what I needed to know.

[pradeep1]

Photos please!

You're from Bemidji? I remember wearing a red and black jacket made by Bemidji Woolen Mills about 30 years ago. Is that company still around?

[superdiver]

Big Ed = BG-ED, the battery grip for the D30, D60 and 10D. Rather dull, really.

[crn3371]

I am curious as to what Big Ed is, but am more curious as to why suddenly people are responding to a 2 year old thread!

...it was all his fault...:rolleyes:

Yeah, blame it on that guy. I was just following suit. Big Ed=BG-E3, that is sort of lame...

ROFLMAO

Now I didn't even notice the start date on this thread until your post.....

I want to know the same thing, what brought this out of the depths of time...

[Jon]

Yeah, blame it on that guy. I was just following suit. Big Ed=BG-E3, that is sort of lame...Not E3, ED. Is it any worse than "Nifty Fifty" or "Bigma", for instance?

[rssfhs]

...it was all his fault...:rolleyes:

I confess! Sorry about that! I didn't even check the date of the original post. What is the penalty for bad forum etiquette?

Last time I checked, death by electric chair!

Oh is that all? Good! I thought it was something much worse! ;-)

You have to send me your best lens as punishment!

[mrfourcows]

funny!

[Linkzi]

I havie Big Ed!

Not that it really matters, but the designation is BG-ED3 (pg 176 of the 10D Manual)


Jon, Is there a way to "autolock" threads like this so they can be viewed but not replied to after some appropriate "time to die" determined by Pekka and the moderators?

if a thread is still relevant, why lock it?

That and you have to send me your 645 and all the lenses you have for it :lol:

[rssfhs]

Death by electric chair is one thing, but my giving up my 645 and all of the lenses that go with it is cruel and unusual punishment, don't you think!

[cgratti]

Love my Big Ned, I changed his name to Ned...

[Vortex99]

Now why would we want to lock entertainment like.
Big Ned.... hmmm has a good ring to it. I like it
