This is the first time I am doing a clip (a small video).
I did it with Canon G9 on the tripod.
It worked well enough for the purpose I had in mind: to show you how easy to unfold the soft box.:D
Note however, that the metallic piece was already assembled...

Two photographers asked for me to buy the softbox and send them to the USA.
I have bought them and they arrived at home yesterday, in the morning, while I was not there.
As I only get home in the evenning, today, in the morning of the 29th April 2008, I headed to the post to and sent the items.
Each softbox costed 59.90 Euros + 25.50 Euros for the mail = 85,40 Euros.
At today's rate this is the huge amount of 133,34 US$
I think this is pretty expensive for you, Americans...
I should have asked the value of the mail before, but I could never imagine it would be so hight...:cry
The problem is that the US currency is very hight regarding the Euro. Chinese influence / control
I hope however that those who have bought them, get much satisfaction with it and use with good and nice benefits to their photography.

Manfred.
No one can jump off because they are (the softboxes) already on the way...
I posted them some hours ago...
If you want one I can send it to you at no benefits for me, of course !
The mail is not so expensive to Germany.
As I have to go back to the post office station because I forgot there the tape and a knife, I will ask the lady the cost of the mail to Germany and let you know, as soon as I know it.
OK ?:D
You are too kind! I can buy form Germany too so no
need to put in the extra work. Only if you had a softbox
that nobody wants I would take it.

No Manfred. Niobo doen't send outside Portugal.
I have been to the post office and she told me that the cost is half of the one to the States, about 12,50 Euros.
Want one ? I can call Niobo at this very moment and order one that will be at my home tomorrow norning and I will be able to send it to you by the end of the week or at the beginning of the next one.
I write today because I want you to know that what I have done is wrong.
This way you will not do it yourself.:D
I sent 2 softboxes to 2 DGriners. I do have payed for them in advance.
One I got payed for but the other I have not received any money so far and I think I never will. :cry
I trusted these two people - Pathfinder and somebody else whom I am not going to say the name - and only that one sent me the money.
I want to thank Jim for doing so, regreting that the same didn't happen with the other person.
My mistake. Don't do it. Don't do what I've done. Trust only the good ones. (The problem is to know who are the good ones ...)

Nikolai was right all the time.
Darn.. Sorry to hear this.. I would let the mods know, at least in PM. We don't want this happening again, do we?

I don't think do.
It was only my responsibility ... No one to blame but myself. :bash
And ... it is always possible the money arrives "surprise type" and out of schedule:D:D If there is/was a schedule ...:D:D:D
