Thank you Bob.I had the opportunity to try out the grip and found that it was awkward (for me) since my had seemed to not be shaped properly for it.
After investigating various ways that I might get my hand re-shaped, I found it better to pass on it. I think that they used a Danish Giant as a hand model when designing the grip.
I really do like the idea of camera firmware updates and hope that a future camera will be able to perform this basic function without an accessory. The built-in flash triggering system seemed nice too, if you own profoto air lights.

This is a silly point that flash makers are competing on, that is the form of a module that might be used for triggering their various light systems. It would be far better to standardize on a module pinout that might be used in both camera and meter.
I currently use elinchrom skyport triggers and have a meter with built-in pocket wizard triggering and a camera that accepts an accessory grip for built-in profoto air.

See, http://forum.getdpi.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25056Hey Guys, I'm sooo grateful to have ask here. Really save me wearing out my left big toe!
New Schneider lenses coming? Please tell me more!
I'm assuming that you have a RRS lever clamp? If so you may be out of luck because this is a common issue with non-RRS or Wimberly plates. They are a slightly smaller size due to the taper of the plate and won't hold. Screw clamps work fine.My only gripe is that the integrated L-bracket doesn't mate with my RSS clamps - the plates are too small and slip straight through the clamp. I'm hoping mine is an isolated prob and will discuss with my local P1 rep.
Hi Graham - Thanks for the info. I am using the lever clamp and I didn't realise there was a difference in the profile of the plates.I'm assuming that you have a RRS lever clamp?
