Re: Post Your Set Up!
New to this and enjoying it so far.
5D MK IV
Canon MP-E 65
Meike MK-MT24 II TTL Macro Ring Flash
Not digging the rail I got. Its probably ok for a very light setup but as soon as I tilt the head on this setup, the gear slips when I try to adjust. I end up having to assist and that sometimes results in small changes that show up later.
Ran into issues with this setup immediately. The Ring Flash setup eats up about 1 inch of your working distance. At 3.5 to 5x I was having issues with the flash heads hitting the work surface before I could reach my usable working distance. I ended up mounting the ring to the backside of the screw on adapter as well as taking the head mounts apart and reversing them so when attached to the adapter they would be facing the correct direction. This worked out pretty good with the exception of losing a little bit of head angle adjustment due to the design of the case. I cannot angle them in quite as much but I will try to tackle that later.
