My bag is packed. I’m ready to go.. <\/p>\n

Real estate work today, so I’ve packed my bag for it. I love looking through other people’s bags, so maybe I should post mine in return! The bag itself is a basic Hama bag from 7dayshop.com. <\/p>\n

So here’s the contents: <\/p>\n

Big Bits!<\/p>\n

Canon 5D MKIII
\nCanon 17-40 f4 L
\nCanon TSE24 Mk I
\nCanon 85mm f1.8 USM
\nCanon 580ex MkII
\nNikon SB28dx
\nNeewer TT850 X2
\nLastolite Trifold umbrella.<\/p>\n

Small Bits
\nGodox FT-16s trigger (1 transmitter, 2 receivers)
\nYong Nuo RF602 (1 transmitter, 2 receivers)-on of 2 sets I have
\n16 AA batteries (7dayshop Eneloop copies, Eneloops and Lidl)
\n6 AAA (7dayshop Eneloop copies)
\nSpare tripod plate
\nCamera battery
\nCard holder with CF and SD cards
\nPen<\/p>\n

As you know from the previous post on flash, I’m loving the Neewer flashes. Today was a day where something I’ve suspected became more obvious. The batteries are a dud. They just don’t last as long as advertised. Which is why I’ve new ones ordered, and why I’ve 4 flashes with me, and additional triggers. The power from the flashes, the design, the remote power are all exactly what I need. The batteries I got with mine.. not so much. And I’ve heard the same from a mate with his ones. I guess I’ll stick with the Godox branded ones next time. <\/p>\n

When you’re on the job you have to have spares. My spare camera is in the studio less than 10 minutes from this job, so I wasn’t pushed about that, but I was worried about the flashes. This morning I did a quick charge on the lower of the 2 batteries. Despite saying it was at 2\/3 power on the flash, it charged from 20% up. The full flash probably did about 100 1\/8 power pops before it died. Some were 1\/32, some were 1\/4, but on average it was 1\/8. Not 650 full power flashes. <\/p>\n

We’ll see when the new batteries (and the Godox v860c TTL flash) arrive for sure!<\/p>\n

As to the rest of the gear, it allows me to get all I need in a house, and for Airbnb, the 85 means I have a lens for the host portrait. The Lasolite trifold gets used for these portraits, or for shots requiring bounced light where there’s not available wall!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[121,155],"class_list":["post-1730","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-equipment","tag-bagshot","tag-for-photographers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1730","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1730"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1730\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1730"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1730"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1730"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
