There's been a few questions about my Setup for Flash Macro over the last few weeks so I thought I would set out my equipment that I am going to try and use this summer. Here's a few images of how it looks and will be used handheld and of cause if you want it can go on a tripod.
Heres the List of Parts
Canon 7d Camera
Canon BG-E7 Battery Grip
Sigma EF 530 DG Super Flash
Sigma 150 mm f2.8 Macro Lens
Flash Bracket off ebay from YISHUMA Gadget Store
Off camera Shoe Cord Yongnuo OC-E3 form YISHUMA Gadget Store
Hama Universal Ball Joint
White Carex Plastic Bottle used as Diffuser
Enloops rechargeable battery's for the Flash
I also have the Lumiquest Softbox that folds up flat that you can carry around with you if you want to change over from the carex bottle.
The weight of all this comes in at about 6.5 lbs approx 2.8kg I use the neck strap so when walking around its taking half the weight. I want to shot in manual so I can adjust various settings to suit the subject and conditions trying to maintain 250/1, f11 f13, ISO 100,200,400 well its all hit and miss till I get out this summer and try things out, I might have to use some duck tape to keep the flash in the position I want, don't suppose to will harm the lens paint ? its only on for a few hours.
The last image was from my last setup with the Lumiquest Softbox and 50d
