Folks, I actually got an email in from B&H last night and they also have stock. CI (ummm Doug) has been great at helping me get up to speed on C1 so they got my business.

Okay just to make you feel better I was forced arm twisting all the way to buy Bob's Elinchrom Ranger( which i desperately need in the worst way possible). So yea i went down in flames this morning too. But I refuse to go alone.

Oh Terry, you too... and I always thought you were the most sensible among us and the least likely to be assimilated.

Truly the power of the Cube is to be feared...

OK so I figured this was the cheapest I would ever see it and I didn't need the leather bag so...now was the only time to go completely insane....

.....now that I've done it I need to go back and read up if it is working for you. Last installment I read you were waiting for the proper plate.

I just can't do it and i am the slut of hitting the buy button.
Ya gotta get "too big to fail", Guy. Then, you will be eligible for a "bail out" and we'll be funding your extravagance. You can thank us each day with an appropriate post here. :LOL:

I got a larger plate tuesday and gave it an unscientific trial yesterday and it seems now that the Cube and the Manfrotto are now level pegging BUT the cube is lighter, smaller, nicer to use and has the pan on the top (i.e. post-leveling) AND today arrived the 'official' Arca L plate which I have attached but not used and which feels very good indeed and also allows for vertical or horizontal mounting. I will report back with more detail when I have it but I expect great things!

Best

This all just makes me wonder how many members here took advantage of the sale and now have been assimilated...

Give it up Guy - resistance if futile.

Let's hope everybody that got one also bought good plates for their cameras!

I'm waiting for the new style.:ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:

Thought that would make you all pause for a second. Just joking
