Bryan asks;

Hi Shaun,  Having looked at the video vault on the Quest Baits website and the section on self take photography, I have had no luck in sourcing the bracket and the adaptor that fits to the upright.

Can you please give me a clue as to where I can buy such an item to allow me to also use self take photography without using a self timer?

Many thanks in anticipation, Bryan Clark.

Hi Bryan,  Since we filmed that clip I have now found an even better bracket. It works the same way as the one I was using but has more adjustment and simply locks up more secure. I used to have the original one slip off the shutter release at times especially when taking several pictures. This now seems to be a problem of the past.

The type I now use (and have done so for over 12 months so a fair trial period) is from SRB-Griturn based in Dunstable Bedfordshire. 01582 661 878 www.srb-griturn.com

Once the camera is on the tripod you need to accurately focus on the area that you intend to take your pictures and then you need a means of taking that photo shot. Another angler or passer by, maybe? You are on this lake and there is no-one around.. Do you sack the fish until someone does arrive or do you think of the welfare of the carp? Now my answer is self photography. continue reading…
