    oh my god. what a corporate shill. "That’s why I started with Pocket Wizard and have stayed with Pocket Wizard. Their commitment to quality, reliability and the ability for all of their products to work together is unmatched." give me a fucking break. he talks like a marketing department.

    his advice is MAYBE relevant only to pro photographers who can afford top-of-the-line equipment, and if you're a pro photographer who can afford top-of-the-line equipment, you have enough experience to not need advice from some blogger-photographer.

    for everyone else, it's just consumerist inducement to overspend.

    • and i consider myself emerging-pro. if i had followed the gearheads' advice on equipment these last few years, i would be thousands poorer and have way less equipment.bigtrick
    • i would be thousands poorer and have a small quantity of nice equipment rather than a large quantity of working-class equipment.bigtrick
    • equipment.bigtrick
    • I would assume you'd have to get into bed with some of those companies in order to afford some of their products.dropdown
    • I guess I didn't really think about the price of that equipment as he was describing it. I was just happy to read about what it's for.dropdown
    • ... to read about what it's used for.dropdown
