Testimonials
I recently made a "sizeable" purchase with NatureScapes and I couldn't be happier with the services provided! I was shopping for a new Gitzo tripod, Wimberley head and several related accessories. One of the things that immediately caught my attention was that NatureScapes offered discount "bundle" pricing on the tripod+leg covers and the Wimberley head+cover that none of the other "big name (internet) stores" offered. NatureScapes also sells a custom-designed Gitzo “safety plate” which adds increased strength to the tripod head for supporting heavy lenses. The safety plate was “free” with the purchase of the tripod, so that was another benefit for me. NatureScapes provided lightning-quick responses to multiple email questions (both before, and after my purchase), and the owner of the company spoke to me, at length, on the telephone. Processing and delivery of the order was quick, convenient, and painless (I used PayPal) – with free shipping, no less! As a first-time customer, I am glad to say that it was an absolutely flawless transaction, and I wouldn't hesitate to do business with NatureScapes again.

I too was very impressed with the prompt courteous service. I made a mistake with my order and it was corrected in a flash. Tara at the store is very pleasant to deal with. Also I know that the equipment has been tested by photographers, so I am confident of my purchases.

The reason it gets 4 and not 5 stars from me is that it is a way-too overpriced for what it is and the value it provides. I take it as a charge for an innovative idea!!

Advantages: 1. When used properly, it definitely accomplishes the purpose it claims to serve.
2. Ease of fixing on and removing from flash; but this also leads to a disadvantage of sorts as described below.

Disadvantages: 1. I have to always hold it pushed upwards to keep its position parallel to the lens. Otherwise, the line-of-sight of the lens and beamer cross at a much shorter distance than where the subject usually is, leading to sub-optimal results.
2. It is pretty common for a lot of us to use two bodies out in the field. As the fixing mechanism on the flash is flimsy (while easy), there is always a chance of it falling off, if it is on the camera+flash not in use (usually hanging on my body).
