AquaMail Pro, handles multiple accounts very well.

I have to make a correction to my post above. It was pointed out to me that putting the flash higher up in the flashdisc greatly reduces the loss of light. So, I tried again, and indeed it does, now, if anything, it is slightly more efficient than the Ezybox. Still need to take some proper...

I have just received mine (bought on Ebay, shipping from China took 6 days). Haven't used it for any proper shots yet, but since I have read comment that the Flashdisc loses quite a bit of light, I though I would do a comparison. I just took pics of my desk, using the flashdisc, a flashbender...

I have bought from Amazon.de with no problems, but never anything where I would be concerned with warranty. Not sure whether this would be looked upon as a grey import, or is that only when it comes from outside of the EU? Worth checking. I am sure someone more knowledgeable about grey imports...

Sir SR is right, you can use manual with CLS, so the on camera (master) flash sets off the slaves. You can then set power from the camera for the external flashes, if they are compatible. I think even on full power the duration of the flash will be short enough to "freeze" droplets. It will be...

Not sure if water drop type shots and CLS are a good combination. Manual flash settings might be much easier. How are you triggering? Normally for those shots you would have the shutter open in a (near) dark room, and have a trigger fire the flash (triggered by the drop interrupting an IR...

Great, looking forward to hear your take on it.

scottinfocus any update on your experience with the flash disc?

Well worth the £2.99 I would say, nice shot. Indeed amazing to set it all up in that short a time.

That was not a Turing machine.

It is a hypothetical machine, more of a thought experiment, to do with the nature of algorithms.

Focus might be off a bit, but still very nice pic. Know what you mean about "natural smile for once", how often mine have pulled a grimace when they notice a camera.

I got a Flashbender clone from aliexpress, which I am quite happy with (only just got it, so haven't used it much beyond a few trial shots). This comes from China, but got here quite quickly and seems decent quality. I also ordered a smallish softbox there, but that hasn't arrived yet.
