Ouch, I hope someone down there can help you out!

[Oz_Beachside]

sent you a PM with my number, give me a call if I can help.

hi oz

thankyou for that
all i need is a d3 charger and possibly a d7000 charger(not so important)
my phone isnt charged yet
also need to figure out where dragon image is got to but a speedlight s type adaptor for a generic softbox

[Oz_Beachside]

i have d3 and d200 chargers, is the d7000 same battery as d200/300?

i have a few speedlight to softbox rigs you can borrow if you just want temp, or dragon image is a reasonable place for that stuff.

I have the photoflex small box, or a personal rig for mainstream s-type softboxes...
Photoflex one;

Unfortunately the D7000 uses a new battery so the D200/D300 charger is no good.

But I am glad to see that Wendell has found some help down there

[wendellt]

hi guys thanks for that your a lifesaver
the weather has been pretty bad here so dont even know for sure if im shooting or not
on wednesday but ill let you know on tuesday

That really sucks wendell.

Not sure if you have sorted out the camera charger already.
I've got a D700 charger (not D7000). Also got a battery if you wanted a spare (EN-EL3)

iPad: you could use an iphone charger, but they are rated differently (10W for the ipad & 5W for the iphone/ipod charger).

Sent you a PM.

i'd have helped out if i had any of the gear you needed! hope its all sorted now! good luck, looks like the weather will improve for you!! if your ever in need like this again, no doubt there's lots of us victorians who'd love to give you a hand!! good luck!

Not sure how I can help, as I don't own any Apple or Nikon gear.

I could locate a charger for the ipad if needed from a colleague.

PM me if you need help. I can't do anything about tomorrows dodgy weather though.

I'm in South Yarra if you need accom. You weren't shooting at the Beverly Hills apartments the other day, were you?
