Rather than mess up the willy-waving thread, I have started a new thread about Gimballs: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18397484

This is the one I have

Discount available over on Talk Photography forums - Trader Sales section

It sits against my waist, so stays fairly still when walking. Plus, its the perfect length to rest your hand on when walking, to keep it steady.

Cheers for that, might go for the single Q strap at 20quod seems a good value buy.

Ooh! Where did that come from? Is it a Canon part?

I use Nikon caps on my Canon lenses :-)

Got it from the bay for pennies.

Yes be careful though with those center pinch caps from eBay.
I recently got one identical to that (apart from it said Nikon on it) from ebay for £3, problem is, the recess on the center pinch parts are not very deep.

So when attached to a lens with a hood, can be quite hard to put on and off.

It's ludicrously difficult to get a picture of your right hand when you camera is strapped to it.

The strap is the new piece btw, I forgot to mention.

It's pretty good, for £7!

Where did you get the strap?

DampCat · 29 Apr 2012 at 19:57

Amazon

Konica 35/2 UC-Hexanon. One out of 1000 made. Time to sell one of my other lenses.

Thats just cool-as.

I nearly ordered one of those this month, but decided to wait on reviews of the Tamron 24-70.

I still want one though

The 24-70 (Canon) was last year - time for the next toy

Go pro Hero HD arrived today

I bought a GoPro HD Hero not so long ago, used it once and then sold it.

Hate impulse buying

Got my eyes on a Fujifilm X10, such a beautiful piece!

What case is that and where did you get it? Looking for something similar myself.

My £8 mini softbox arrived this morning from China:

I'm pretty impressed with it - I've posted a mini review over on PoTN if anyone is interested:
