[QUOTE="Nanotech9, post: 1406626, member: 676"] Canon 7D, Canon 18-135 lens for most of the night shots. The tripod for the campground shots was a super crappy flexi tripod for little cameras... barely kept the 7D in place. More importantly was the strobies interfit remote trigger (RF) that allowed me to trigger the shot w/o touching the camera. Super cheap, works great. The other car shots at night are all on a Manfrotto tripod. I just had work buy me a new one - Manfrotto 190CXPRO4 all carbon fiber 4-section, with a Manfroto 222 ball head. The head weighs about twice as much as the tripod. You can take the center stem and bring it up and then click a button and tip it 90deg sideways and it'll slide in and out horizontally, or you can remove it and install it upside down and shot from underneath the tripod legs. The interior dash shots are with the 18-135 lens, and handheld while moving. :) The flashes are Canon Speedlight 580EX II and i'm usually using three of them on a remote Cannon trigger. I'm also trying out a RF trigger from Interfit Strobies and it works well also. Super cheap too. [/QUOTE]
