I have a "Better Beamer" but hesitate to use it from 7' ;-) Sides, I have PLENTY of light, especially since it appears the 1/64 flash will not freeze the Hummer wings and I'll be using shutter speed instead.

You gotta start somewhere Jack. Moving them out from the structure on top of the feeder has got to help the lighting situation. A 'Better Beamer' is a relatively cheap fresnel lens that will help project the light from your flash.
