NIKON's SB900 AS WIRELESS REMOTE - GOTTA LOVE IT

Been Playing trying to get use to a sophisticated flash...the SB900 as a wireless remote flash......on flash bracket, camera rotator type....Stroboframe R4B.......gotta love not needing a cable wrapped around the upright or getting into the way of the viewfinder......I have had so many cam mfg'er cables and 3rd party back up cables just quit no warning just quit......

I tried to use the SB900 as a wireless remote when I first got it, I could not get it work on a flash bracket and just recently redid my settings and have no idea what changes I actually made that made this start working but I am so glad to see that no matter the orientation, landscape or portrait, that the flash sees, feels, hears or what ever it does for communication but it works........even outdoors pointed into direct sunlight it still works like a charm........OH boy no more cables.......

ADDONICS SATA CF CARD READER / WRITER

Well I received my ADDONICS CF CARD READER / WRITER ADAPTER.....very well built and easy install......came with everything to install in the pci slots or in the front panel in a 3.5 drive bay.
The unit it self is well built and the CF slot has metal guide slots for the card to slide in.....comes with a push button ejector .
I could not get my computer to recognize it......I tried everything I could think of and also what the mother board company suggested for me to do and also what the tech from ADDONICS suggested I do......unfortunately it has to go back since I just do not have the patience to keep working with it.....as that keeps me from shooting pix.....

Working with ADDONICS was a pleasure as no one got snooty or just left me hanging waiting for an answer to my inquiry(s).........

I'll wait until I get another computer and probably will try the reader again, maybe a different MOBO might work better but this box is less than a year old so not ready to replace it yet............
