  1. I think goodsync looks great and have sine questions:

     

     

    Does it actually support all file formats? For example if i select the pictures folder: Will it sync all files inside?

     

    When you sync next time, does it automaticly detects whats there? So it doesnt copy everything again?

     

    Does it support nas?(synology)

     

    Does it support automatic schedueled backup?

     

    Does it support auto resume When you put the Mac to sleep?

  2. <p>Hello guys.</p>

    <p>I just purchased a NAS from Synology.</p>

    <p>I am a photographer, who is pretty RAMBO when it comes to backup.. Until now , my backup is terrible. So I purchased a NAS.</p>

    <p>My plan is: From my MAC, I want to take backup of the whole "pictures" folder. I DO not want to use software that archive and make the files unusable, for example Crashplan. <br /><br />I want the files to be like a "raid 1", where the files get mirrored over to my NAS. Is there a backup software that does this on the MAC? In that way,I can accsess the files on the NAS and use them from any machine.</p>

    <p>My next step will be to run crashplan on my server, where I will take Crashplan backup of the whole NAS.</p>

    <p>So my question , is there any software that can do what I ask, that can actually "mirror" the files over to the NAS? ITs important that I do not have to COPY/REPLACE every time. I want it to just copy over edited files,or new files. </p>

  3. <p>Thank you August.</p>

    <p>I bought this: http://www.carryspeed.com/products/fs-slim-camera-sling-strap-with-f-1-foldable-mounting-plate</p>

    <p>Looks must more reliable than the Rs-7.</p>

    <p>Anyway, is there a way to double hook this ? So like if the ballhead fails, there is another connector that holds the camera?<br /><br />I have seen people making some kind of cabin hook.</p>

    <p>The Acra swiss plate on this strap is AWESOME, hope it works with my Benro head. </p>

  4. <p>Hi everyone.</p>

    <p>Today I own a BlackRapid Rs-7. I love the concept, but think this strap make the camera dingle "hang loose" to much and find my self always holding it. I have also read a lot of threads about the strap failing and the camera dropping?!?!?</p>

    <p>So, which strap do you reccomend? Been looking at the Carry speed, what do you think?</p>

  5. <p>I just received my Benro today, and I gotta tell you, it feels great. Really top notch quality.</p>

    <p>But is there any way I can use a blackrapid with the bracket?<br /><br />I see there is a screwdriver screw on the bracket. Is using the original screw the smartest thing to do? OR can I infact use a cabin hook compatible screw, if so where can I find it? </p>

  6. <p>Thank you for follwing my thread!<br /><br /><br />I´ve searched the forums for EVER and have found many threads of people actually comparing the Gitzos and Benro together, they own both.</p>

    <p>Everyone has reported likeness, and there is a rumor on the internet that Gitzo started a factory in China, and the owner of that factory started their own company and used Gitzos drawings.</p>

    <p>I am not going to speculate on that, just pointing out why people think they are pretty much the same.</p>

    <p>Even though, I wont be using any 400+ mm lens on it, so I guess my tripod is MORE than enough.</p>

  7. <p>Okay guys I have changed my purchase;</p>

    <p>Basicly, I am very pleased with the seller of the Benro tripods, and have heard a lot of positive things about them. I think the Gitzo is like a Rolex, you can pay half the price and get the same quality in other watches. Maybe not 100% match, but pretty much the same inside pieces.</p>

    <p>Anyways, thats just what I think, and since I have read so many places that the gitzo copies(benro) almost are the same, I went for them.</p>

    <p>I had a difficult time choosing tripod, but I wanted a carbon,stable,and without a center column. Why no center column? Because I have read that it greatly increases stability and I really want to be able to go low, really low.</p>

    <p> </p>

    <h3>I went for Benro C3780T with a B3 ballhead. I have also read alot about people not reccomending the ballheads, but that was before the new release. After that, I find only positive feedback.</h3>

    <p>Anyways I will be using this for a 5D mark 3 with a 70-200 at the heaviest, belive that it´s MORE than enough.</p>

    <p>300 grams lighter than the 055XPROB combo and I belive a bit shorter when folded.</p>

    <p>The 055 is 3,0 total the Benro combo is 2,7.</p>

    <p>So what do you guys think? Really looking forward to receiving it, besides the flip mechanism on the manfrotto looks awefull compared to the screw mechanism :D</p>

  8. <p>THank you!<br /><br /><br />Actually, my main problem is that the 055 is allu and not carbon.. I find my self rarely using it, and almost only when I do landscapes where I drive out to do just that.</p>

    <p>In my mind right now; I want a light tripod, but still GREAT stability, as my mind is in total lock up on image quality.</p>

    <p>The tripod should also be possible to have in the luggage, so I actually bring that damn legs to my vacations :-) </p>

  9. <p>Hello!<br /><br /><br />I have bought myself the Benro C2192TB1, but it isnt shipped yet and now I am unsure if it´s the right tripod for me..<br /> <br /> <br /> Currently I own a 055xPROB but that thing is way too heavy and big to carry around, I find myself not using it enough.</p>

    <p>So I am looking for a tripod(carbon) that is light, not too big to carry and definitly stable(since that is the main reason we need a tripod, to get better quality in shots).</p>

    <p><br />What do you think, should I cancel the Benro?</p>
