stuny Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share #21 Posted January 18, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Mark - I have no knowledge of the base plate reliability, nor of the reliability of how secure the strap'sdriect connection is to the camera tripod socket, but both options are available to evaluate. I'll try it out with the Black Rapid connector in a controlled situation. If I'm satisfied it will remain on the camera. If not, it goes back.

Guest stnami Posted January 19, 2009 Share #22 Posted January 19, 2009 Used the strap on the RD-1 yesterday, worked like a gem, then again the RD-1 has a swivel LCD screen ............ maybe one for the panaphiles and their G-1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stnami Posted January 20, 2009 Share #24 Posted January 20, 2009 A woman goes into a store to buy a fishing rod and reel for her grandson's birthday. She doesn't know which one to get, so she just grabs one and goes over to the counter. The salesman is standing there, wearing dark glasses. She says, Excuse me. Can you tell me anything about this rod and reel?' He says, 'Madam, I'm completely blind; but, if you'll drop it on the counter, I can tell you everything you need to know about it from the sound it makes.' She doesn't believe him but drops it on the counter anyway. He says, 'That's a two meter Shakespeare graphite rod with a Zebco 404 reel and 5-kg. test line. It's a good all around combination, and it's on sale this Week for $44.' She says, 'It's amazing that you can tell all that just by the sound of it dropping on the counter. I'll take it!' As she opens her purse, her credit card drops on the floor.'Oh, That sounds like a Visa card, says the salesman. As the lady bends down to pick up the card, she accidentally farts. At first she is really embarrassed but then realizes there is no way the blind salesman could tell it was she who had farted. The salesman rings up the sale and says, 'That'll be $58.50 please.' The woman is totally confused by this and asks, 'Didn't You tell me it was on sale for $44? How did you get to $58.50?' 'The Duck Caller is $11 and the Fish Bait is $3.50.'

stuny Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share #26 Posted January 20, 2009 Imants - I tried the strap and I'm satisfied with it, but I'll still carry my old strap on our next holidays just in case. However, it would be very useful rto know where to buy the duck call and fish bait. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
