Guys, iv managed to break my Dpad, I did it ages ago but haven't done much photography for a while but I did find a tutorial on how to change it when I first broke it, however, iv searched high and low and can't find the video!! Is there a step by step guide available anywhere, please???

So, i went, i had an amazing time, i DIDNT take my DSLR but i took my gopro instead and used my phone for snaps, i only saw a handful of people with big cameras the whole time i was there, i had no trouble other than a transexual hooker trying to pickpocket me.. they got a bigger surprise...

Thanks for the replies guys.. i went there in November and didnt feel very insecure, but i was dating a local and we didnt really go anywhere off the beaten track.. this time i want to explore more, but i think ill just take a small camera.. just trying to decide which one! lol..

Thanks Keety, this is what i mean, so many conflicting suggestions.. lol.. if i take it ill want to take a tripod and different lenses too.. id want to do everything with it.. i think ill look for a decent point and shoot, one that will shoot manually etc..

Thanks for the replies guys, i went there last year as i saw seeing a girl there, we didnt do too much but the places i went i saw plenty of people with cameras, i did think to myself they were taking a massive risk, but i never felt threatened at all while i was there. i know plenty of people...

Ok, iv been to Rio before, iv dated Brazilian women and know a fair few Brazilians.. but, when i mention taking my camera gear to Rio i get very mixed opinions! they ALL say be very careful, i know this already.. but some say yes, if im a little careful, and others just say no!!.. I was...

do any of you know where I can get MulTPan sheets at a reasonable price? My local bathroom showroom are doing them at £120! I'm sure they can be found a little cheaper, perhaps even even second hand?

Thanks everyone, iv decided to go for the loft panels, 8x2 and £15 each, Tongue & groove then pain... :-)

Im setting up a small studio, im going to use paper BG and possibly a Multi panel floor tile, but the studio floor is 8" tiles, and not very level! so what would be the best thing to lay down so my paper is as flat as pos? i was going to use a few pallets, or some 1" ply... something like that...

I could have done with the Vela 18months ago! i had lined up all sorts for a big idea, and it was going to be backed by some very special people!! i might just have to resurrect it!! lol..

im going to get something like that.. i would like to use SHORT roles on it too..

Sounds good! iv gone for the Lencarta in the end, but its interesting what you say about Westcott! iv had two double fold brollies for about 5 years now and they are still in great shape.. the only thing is the screw for the tip is a little wonky! but other than that..

Im looking for a paper roll system that can allow me to use short AND long rolls! is there such a thing??
