Soon i'd like to use a speedlite off camera for my outdoor portraits. I've only seen the Lastolites video of the Trigrip with a speedlite attached bouncing into the trigrip. Does anyone use this setup for outdoor portraits? I am liking for some examples and opinions. I was thinking instead of bouncing the speedlite to use the Trigrip as a shoot through with HSS on my 580ex so I could have a shallow dof with using an ND filter. Project Nine Five Photography

Mar 21, 2011 23:20 | #9 I was asking for opnions for those who use that setup and examples. I wasn't looking for suggestions on other ways to use a speedlite for outdoor flash. Obviously you don't have this setup so you can exclude yourself from this thread. Project Nine Five Photography

I've read that the velcro doesn't last long when holding the trigrip and customers have had to find other ways to attached the trigrip.
