Planning my lens foot replacement and flash bracket and decided ReallyRightStuff is the direction I want to go for my EOS 400mm DO II and 580EX Speedlight. Went to B&H and could find nothing ReallyRightStuff?
??? Not good enough for B&H to carry???

Jul 30, 2015 21:45 | #3 Thanks for the feedback. The reviews were better than their main competitor for what I need. I do hope they take PayPal. flickr

Aug 03, 2015 01:54 | #4 I'm lucky, my local camera store carries really right stuff. Not that I purchase RRS often because it's expensive, but they had my L bracket, and clamp ready to go! 6D, 70-200 MKii F2.8, Tamron 24-70mm, Canon 40mm

digitalparadise Awaiting the title ferry...  More info | Aug 06, 2015 09:05 | #7 I love their stuff but the cost and time it takes to get it to Canada is not the best. Still worth it. Image Editing OK

Aug 07, 2015 08:47 | #8 Thanks for the input. I've decided to go with RRS again. Echo I looked at my 300 2.8 and low and behold its replacement foot is RRS so the flash bracket will be able to hop from 300 to 400. Both of those lenses are going on the trip so that will work out well. Also I wrote them and they suggested the size large. flickr

Old image setups with the RRS system you were talking about...  Weekend Warrior by Air Butchie, on FlickrSetup 2: 1D2 + 400 2.8L II 'non-IS" + RRS Medium Size Flash Bracket + 10" Extender:  Product Photography by Air Butchie, on Flickr Product Photography [EXPLORED] by Air Butchie, on FlickrAnd here's fellow photog, Rick Rose, candid capture of me using the 'Setup #2' with the 400L @ the LA Zoo, several years ago...  Butch and his baby by Rick Rose, on FlickrAny questions, please let me know...  PS. On a side note, I initially purchased the 'large' size flash bracket, but the circumference was quite big... So I exchanged it with the 'medium' size and it was perfect... I can use it with my 200 1.8L, 300 2.8L, and 400 2.8L with no issues with space and size... Just and FYI... Hi. My name is Butch...

(2 edits in all) | Aug 07, 2015 11:02 | #12 And here's the shot I captured with the the 400 2.8L II 'non-IS' (Setup #2) at the LA Zoo....  Focused!!! by Air Butchie, on FlickrLioness was backlit by the sun, so the flash was used for fill light... We were about 60-70 feet away... I think I did +2 stops on the flash to make sure there was enough power (for fill light) against the sun... And sure enough, it was!!!  Hi. My name is Butch...

I'd not considered (didn't even know about) the extenders for the bracket=smart. Yes I need to study a wee bit more Again, wow and a sincere thank you. Robert I got a large.... just in case I end up with a 500 f/4 II some day. It doesn't take up much more room than the medium in my bag. RRS suggested the large so I didn't buy it blind. I'm sure the medium would have worked just as well.
