Oh, yes! It makes me think of my 16-35 so often.

Third Party Manufacturers / Re: Need some advice on GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition
« on: February 05, 2013, 11:56:33 AM »Thanks emag and jerome2710.
Any particular brand of suction cup mount you recommend? ... which ones are you using?
Just the GoPro ones!

I would not use the surf mount on a car, I don't think it's strong enough.
The suction cup is highly recommended. I have the Hero 2 myself and keeping in mind that the Hero 3 suction cup has a lower profile, I think it's really great.
You can stick it on a window, on the car body itself or anything smooth and sturdy.
For the 4x4 vehicle, does it have a rollbar or something? Maybe a bull bar?
You can use the rollbar or handle bar mount (a bit smaller I believe) to mount the GoPro to your vehicle.
Again, the suction cup is great too. But I do tend to use a safety lanyard, just in case.
I did not buy any additional attachments to mount the GoPro to my skiing helmet. The adhesive mount are really really strong. Stick one on your helmet and use the j-hook buckle.
Yet, the helmet solution is not very steady while skiing. But I might just go to fast..
Good luck!

I'm curious what you guys think of this.
I used the 16-35 on my 450D, including the Cokin Z-Pro with grad NDs.

The edges of the moon look way to clean in my opinion.
Shouldn't you see some kraters on the edges...?

I was waiting for the Cokin Z-Pro too, but I finally decided to buy it second-hand because of the limited stocks...

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Can the 450D stand up to the elements from an around the world travel??
« on: January 19, 2012, 04:52:57 PM »before last year I would have disagreed with jerome, but now I agree. my uncle brought a 550D from Taiwan to the states and went to Niagara Falls. he took it to the vantage points below the falls where it got plenty of big drops on it but wasn't obviously splashed directly ... yet it died and had to go to Canon service to be repaired.
this past month I was out with the 5D Mark II in the cold and wet for an entire afternoon, getting rained on steadily and constantly. the rear joystick froze up near the end, although it recovered after a night of staying dry in the hotel and was fine after. that being said, I'd still take my 5DII out again in the same conditions.
however, I have less faith in the Rebel bodies. if you are going to as many extreme places as you've listed, I think it would be worth investing in a 7D (or 50D, or 40D, or a 5-series body) and keeping the 450D around in the sack as a backup.
Amen.

I totale disagree with the people saying it's more than capable...
I was in Thailand past summer and my 450D died because of the extremely high humidity and fog.
The 16-35mm which was attached to it died too, because of the poor connection of the mount. (no sealing on camera)
I would say look for an 5D (maybe MKII) or 1D MKII. I was so frustrated when I saw all the moments I missed...

I once got my 16-35mm mk II killed during a trip into a Thai jungle.
It was holding a B&W MRC UV SLIM filter, but the humidity was SO high, it killed quite a few parts in it..
