Yeah, how much does that suck. The case was delivered today so I grabbed the strobes and the case and brought them to the office.

What is the whole fuss about the new Speed Transmitter.. Says 250th using the Speed Setting... according to manual the old transmitter was good up to 1/1000th.. Am I missing something? On the other hand I can shoot at 1/250th connecting a sync cable from my D700 to a 300RX strobe but the max I can get using the Skyport is 1/200th so maybe the new Speed transmitter gives me the extra 1/50th  I get 1/250s with the slightest amount of falloff. If I use the Pocket Wizard Plus II I get a totally clean 1/250s and usable 1/320s with my Elinchrom's. Robert

I might have been able to fit them more tightly together and then have a small slot down one side that could hold the power cords but it would have been a tight fit. I'll just leave the cords in the duffle with everything else, it's not like they need protection. Almost forgot to snap a pic:  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. -- Ken
