Taille-crayon manuel avec pince de bureau - Moustache® - Bleu

This sharpener works on standard diameter pencils far better than any razor-blade style sharpener. It has rotating steel screws like the sharpeners often mounted in schools. It was able to sharpen low-quality pencils that kept breaking inside sharpeners with razor blades. This sharpener would be better if it could be secured to the steel shaft of the provided clamp instead of just having a loose hole for the shaft. Also, young children can not sufficiently tighten the clamp. Perhaps a big suction cup would be better. That said, the sharpener works well when held down by one hand while the other turns the handle. The trick is to squeeze the grey lever, push the grey faceplate out a few millimetres, insert a pencil, and then release the grey lever. An internal spring will pull the pencil inwards while it is being sharpened.

YONGNUO RF-603 II Nikon N3 2.4G 16 Channel wireless Flash Trigger

5/5

These triggers are extremely reliable with no false triggering or missed triggering. I appreciate that they can use NiMh AAA batteries instead of coin cells or unusual CR2 or CR123A cells like some triggers. Each trigger being capable of acting as a transmitter or receiver makes setup simple and flexible. I can put one trigger on the camera and others (I have four triggers altogether) on flashes; I press the shutter button on the camera to take pictures. The trigger on the camera can also receive a signal from another trigger held in my hand as a remote shutter. Thus I can be in group portraits or shoot while standing beside my camera. I will admit the trigger is a bit hard to hide in my hand so I generally use a different, smaller remote shutter control if I am not behind the camera. I have no issues using these triggers with a Nikon D90 camera, Olympus E-M5 camera, Yongnuo YN-560TX controller, Yongnuo YN560 III flashes, and Nikon SB-800 and SB-600 flashes.

110cm 43 pouces 5-en-1 pliable multi-disc réflecteur de lumière

5/5

While I have not used this product as a diffuser, it is an excellent reflector. It is sufficiently large that it can bounce light for a full body portrait. The white, silver, and gold surfaces offer a good control of highlight specularity and tone on skin. I also use the black side in front of my background strobes to minimize forward light spill. The metal frame is stiff enough that the reflector can be supported on one side while the other rests on the floor to provide upward bounce.

Câble SATA 6 Gbps blindage interne - eSATA vers eSATA (type I vers type I) – noir – 6pi

5/5

This is data cable allows me to hotplug hard drives to my PC for diagnostics, formatting, and data recovery purposes. I use a wall adapter with a 15-pin SATA plug to provide power alongside this cable. This cable can connect to removable server drives fitted with rackmount rails, which is a big advantage over eSATA drive docks because I do not need to disassemble rails before attachment to my PC. The cable is a handy 6 feet long, the maximum specified by the eSATA standard. I wish I had discovered this product years ago!

This outlet adapter conveniently adds two outlets to a normal wall outlet. The night light does not provide useful illumination, but does confirm the adapter has power. When plugged into the top of a wall outlet, the bottom outlet on the wall remains exposed for use.

YONGNUO YN-560 III Flash Pour Nikon & Canon

5/5

The YN-560 III is an excellent manual power flash when TTL is not needed (e.g., in studio photography). It's distinguishing feature is an integrated radio receiver with multiple trigger options from three current-generation products. A Yongnuo RF-603 II is an affordable radio transmitter/receiver. I intended to use one on my camera (and more on my non-Yonguo flashes), but I opted for the Yongnuo YN560-TX controller when PhotoGear.com recently had a sale. The YN-560-TX goes beyond triggering, adding radio control of power and zoom for up to 6 groups of YN560 flash, very useful when flashes are above eye level on light stands. A YN-560 IV flash can also serve as master, but I prefer having less weight on my camera and generally do not want light coming directly from my camera when shooting people. So the YN-560 III is the perfect off-camera flash for me. I have two YN-560 III flashes (with the Nikon-style foot) triggered by a YN-560-TX (again for Nikon) on an Olympus E-M5 camera. They work properly together, and the light from the Yongnuo flashes correctly triggers optical slaves on my Nikon flashes. The quality of construction (sturdiness of the plastic body, non-removable battery door hinge, and head pivot smoothness) on the Yongnuo flashes is similar if not better than on Nikon SB-800 flashes. I like that no rubber button needs to be squeezed on the head before it turns or tilts through detent positions. Moreover, the Yongnuo buttons are easier to push than Nikon buttons while still working consistently. The YN-560 III does have deficiencies. First, the vertical viewing angle on the display is narrow. That makes the display very hard to read when the flash is high on a light stand or perhaps close to the floor. Before I used the YN560-TX controller, I needed to move my head around a lot to find the right viewing position or ended up lowering the flash to see it sometimes. Second, the low battery indicator and associated beep, only activate when the batteries are a few shots from becoming unusable. A continuous battery level meter would be nice, but the low battery indicator and behavior on the SB-800 is actually worse (flash goes to sleep with no audible warning and requires button press to wake). Third, like many third-party flashes, a ring must be screwed tight to lock the flash to a hot shoe. The screwing causes a locking pin to extend and retract, which is the same as on a Nikon so it is secure. It just takes more time than flipping a lever. Finally, the LCD backlight activates for a short time only when its button is pressed; it does not turn on automatically when other buttons are pressed. These issues are not showstoppers and I find myself preferring the Yongnuo flashes over Nikon flashes now. I am positively surprised at the overall quality of YN-560 III. The Yongnuo product provides a high level of functionality and outstanding value.
