Hi, as mentioned, there are commonly just 2 varieties of thread sizes - 3/8" or 1/4". 1/4" being the smaller diameter. If your camera can be mounted directly to your tripod, then it is 1/4". :) Hope I didn't get it wrong... Manfrotto and a lot of the other tripod manufacturers do sell QR...

Hi Henry, There have been many general discussion threads regarding cold weather operation. From what I can tell, the OMD EM-5's operational temperature is rated at 0-40 deg C. Don't know if it will survive prolonged -25 deg exposure. Remember that weather sealed cameras and lenses can still...

Hi, nikonriana, I'm not an expert, but have an interest in UV photography and flowers. Regarding what you've asked, the answers can be found in the link below. Reflected UltraViolet Imaging for Forensic Applications Article from Oculus Photonics, written by Dr Austin Richards If you want...

I'm waiting for my V2. There are tons of reviews online for the original Capture and quite a few for the V2, just Google. I don't know how objective the reviews are, but if you go into the Peak Review site, you'll find links to reviews too.

Greetings, Dr Schmitt. It is a pleasant surprise to see your post here on Clubsnap. Beautiful photos of the Amethyst Sea Holly in last week's post. :) Finding a Nikon D70 and UV transmitting filters are not difficult, but I must agree with allenleonhart that UV lenses are the biggest hurdle and...

Hi, speedfactory! Kandinsky gave a pretty good link. Do bear in mind that condensation within your camera and lens is a big problem. Avoid sudden temperature changes e.g. moving from outdoors to heated rooms or tour buses. Even if your equipment is weather sealed or rated to subzero operation...

:) There have been rumours of the 645D replacement and a Full-Frame camera for quite some time. Whatever they release, it should be pretty interesting. With recent the price cut, the 645D costs <S$7800 in Japan, which is a pretty good deal.

My humble contribution to this awesome thread. :)

Hmm... The SanDisk site says "The SanDisk Eye-Fi Wireless Memory Card is available in select countries within Europe, the Middle East, and Africa only.", so I don't think it'll be easy to find locally. Looks like it is available in 8Gb and 4Gb only. I might be mistaken, but the SanDisk Eye-Fi...

Use the TM26 and all the nocturnal creatures will probably think it is daytime. Or maybe suffer permanent vision damage. Hi,Mustank! Thanks for the suggestion. Always use protected Li-ion cells from reputable manufacturers (AW, EagleTac). And for chargers, I would strongly recommend Xtar or...

Most of the high output options don't come cheap. Suggest you search in CandlePowerForums before you make your purchase. There have been quite a number of threads about UV flashlights. On a side note, Nicky Bay has some awesome scorpion pictures on his blog. Truly a macro master. *kowtow*

Hi, cpuer! To add to what has been shared already... If you balance cost per Gb and Access Speed, dollar for dollar, the MicroSD + adapter route would be more costly than a SDHC or SDXC for your GR. Reliability and redundancy is another issue. The price of MicroSD and SD cards has dropped...

Hi, Oly5050! Crabball is right... Most Android smartphones and tablets with 3G/LTE connectivity can be configured as a portable wifi hotspot as an Android feature. Should be able to get one of your liking with your budget. Just remember to make sure your data plan supports your usage pattern...

Hi, FastBlueSnail! What will you be photographing? Bugs? Scorpions? Most low end options use 5mm UV LEDs and can be found in home improvement stores locally. Most of these are low powered and have a very limited range. Haven't found any decent quality ones locally, so buying online is still...

Hi, MachCurve! I have a backup battery for each of my cameras. So, I do have a bunch of Li-ion batteries lying around at any one time. Plus, I'm a bit of a flashaholic, so I have a big stash of RCRs and 18650s too. Do read - up at Battery University regarding Lithium Ion Battery packs...
