If you don't need either, then the 480.

You can't go wrong with either one of them! Cheers Hi Calen,

I particularly enjoyed the lighter tone and humour. I'm currently working on a shot setup out in the wild and to get over a wall, the tallest tripod is about 8 feet too short. So I was going to have a step ladder. The long exposure idea from Tom is also something I had not thought about. Will give it a thought. Another cheap idea for long exposure lighting is using a flashlight to paint light onto surfaces you want illuminated. more shine time: more light on that spot. Keep the great articles coming.
