I use the Eveready digital lithium (Blue packaging) in my K-X.
Cool - I use the Hybrios for just about everything. I've got about ten sets of four that I rotate through and the nice thing about them is they're slow dischargers so they retain their charge if I don't use them for a while.

Being on the go as you are , i assume its far more lucrative for you to use rechargables.
How long do they normally take to recharge if really low ?
Depends on the charger but probably six hours for a set. I'll time it next time and let you know

Thanks, i have looked at rechargables, and always felt hesitant, due to thinking (maybe wrongly) that each recharge declined by a percentage with time.
But hearing from someone who utilises a number on a rotating basis regularly due to their work, certainly makes one rethink that idea.
They're definitely a life saver. I like to replace a few sets every year but even the old ones still have a lot of life in them and get used for lanterns and the kids toys.
My only problem with those is availability - I know I can go out to any number of shops and get as many Hybrios as I need.

Google's Nik Collection editing software is completely free now. Was usually $149.
I haven't used it myself but some people swear by it.

At the bottom of the page where they have Windows/Mac they mention Photoshop. Is this an add-on for Photoshop?
It's a plugin for many apps as well as a set of stand alone apps. http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/807890-Google-s-Nik-Collection-is-now-free
If you're looking for a clamp then these little crab clamps are awesome and at R200 they're not ridiculously expensive.
I use them for everything from my gopro to strobes all the way up to full size remote cameras.
and they'll support a heck of a lot more than the above. I also use them for a make shift backdrop stand.

Where'd you get those?
Got the first pair off Amazon, along with that [unfortunately] massive ball head - had family coming over so they carried them - then another pair from GRPhotographic.

I rubberised the ends myself.

Those look really neat, thanks.
They're really useful. I keep at least one in my bag at all times.
I just need to get myself a smaller ball-head - that one of mine will support anything I have but it's a huge chunk of metal to carry around all the time.

You also get those identical clamps from eBay, around R90 each and some pretty decent ball heads from R100 to a few R100 depending on quality and load capacity.
Sapo is seriously farked though, previously some parcels would take forever but they would almost always finally pitch up, now it's a real crapshoot, Sapo is like a black hole.
