I had been thinking of getting a BR-E1 Bluetooth Remote control for my EOS R6 mkII, since the new camera doesn't have an infra-red receiver to work with my IR remote.Came across this:https://www.usa.canon.com/shop/p/tripod-grip-hg-100tbr?color=Black&...

Does anyone actually have a Speedlite EL-5? Here in the UK I placed an order for one, the dealer expected delivery in February but now it's March and no sign of it yet.

I hope it's okay to add my two-penn'orth. I've never tried birds in flight before but the animal eye detect autofocus of the R6mkII and the flexibility of the 100-500mm lens emboldened me to try it. Pleased with results.

I haven't used my ST-E10 a lot yet, but it has behaved faultlessly so far. I really like it. Previously I used an ST-E2 and I like that the ST-E10 doesn't require a battery, being powered from the camera, and also that it is controlled from the camer...
