I want to learn more about off camera flash . . . that rig looks pretty cool!!

i see what you are doing. what is the point? trying to use twice as many batteries?

do you end up with pictures with a shadow on both sides of your subject? like a ring flash creates a shadow on all sides of its subject.

The point for me is halving recycle times. Two flashes = half output for each. Twice as fast to recycle. Also twice as long before needing to replace batteries.

I'd love to get a pair of these - Bob Davis gave me a demo in Chicago and they have a lot of potential but I never heard back from the owner

I heard they aren't really "legal" devices yet b/c they haven't passed the FAA yet. If you know how to get a set let me know and I'm happy to pay for them.

Did you not get in on the OSP discount buy in?

Holy crap they fly too!?!? Just kidding. I think you mean the FCC not the Federal Aviation Administration.

Here's a post on the status from the Radiopopper blog. Can't wait to get a set for myself.

well tickle me silly. sometime I wonder if my brain is working. I just read the website about being able to sync the flash output using TTL and everything. I would love to see this in action.

Radio poppers are the bomb alright. Looooooooove mine. Just add yourself to the list...

This was shot today with my stick and my assistant heather holding it.

Can you give any details on the mount you are using.

The mount can be seen, and bought here.

There are lots of points to having a little more flash power.

I use this mount:

At $65, it costs a little more than Jacob's. It's also more function. Note the hole for the umbrella shaft. On the Jacob unit, your flashes are going to be off-center. On the Brewer Bracket, the heads will line up in about the center of the umbrella.

If you never use umbrellas, it obviously doesn't matter. If you do, this is a great feature.

My updated bracket

Good Lord! Your clients are going to think they're being abducted by aliens with that contraption!

DUDE! I can't even look at your avatar anymore! I'm torn between always wanting to read what you have to say and averting my eyes to the right...

Why? It's tastefully done...

I know, but now I know!

And now I wonder what everyone else is doing below the waist in their avatars? So what are YOU doing?

that thing scares me JK, btw nice job!! just dont blind anyone with it
