Looks like everyone is copying what I started...from flash brackets, to ladders, and now even to modifying to add a video cam. :bsmilie: :bsmilie: :bsmilie:
P.S. Pics and videos still unprocessed unfortunately....

I didn't know you were the first to start using the flash bracket and ladder and the rest of us copy you. Wow... :bigeyes:
The video idea was good though but have to buy Video cam first... :bsmilie:

Hmm well honestly, I can't say conclusively that I was the first as I dont have empirical data to support that conclusion. That is just based on my observations as being the intial starter of the concept and then the appearance of others who also adopted the concept.
The flash bracket concept isn't novel as brackets already existed, just that when I started using them about 8 years ago, no one else used them. Recently started seeing an influx of them (after the Clubsnap digital frenzy appeared). Back then, the number of photographers at shows are about 2-3 at most. Now we have a crowd of photographers. Which resulted in the ladder idea to try to mitigate the effects of the crowd.
As for the ladder idea, its probably easier to tell as some time back when I started using a ladder at the shows I was at, no one uses ladders. In fact, some people in this forums implied that the use of a ladder as being overkill (it's probably somewhere in the forums still). However, I noticed that more people are starting to use it nowadays.
Nevertheless, good ideas are always available for everyone to use, and I'm glad to see that the ideas that I have adopted (whether I am the first or not, or whether people simply saw me or someone else doing it and followed suit), being adopted by the rest of the community. Perhaps we can sit down and brainstorm on good ideas to benefit everyone

Maybe i can start off first...
How about portable strobe light that you can carry on backpack and then extend overhead so no need to use flash....how about employ others to change my batt pack and CF card in case i need to climb down ladder...and and how about a Double flash bracket, 1 to mount the cam, the other to mount the video cam... the flash can put on the top most flash bracket.... :bsmilie:
