Drip Kit Samples and Settings 1
Update - March 15, 2013: These set-ups are very out-dated. I have just finished an Ebook - The Ultimate Guide to Water Drop Photography. The link to purchase is on my Facebook Page. It is very detailed from beginner to advanced.

I am posting these sample drops and settings for new drip kit users. These are all done with The Time Machine and the The Drip Kit.
I'm disappointed the numbers are faded in this but they are still visible.
The settings for these are only a starting point. I have tried to recreate a certain drop and the flash lag may be different. Factors affecting these settings are the water level, the distance from valve to water in the tray, additives to the water, temperature of the water, etc., etc. Small drops like most of these are fairly stable and you get a lot of repetition, however, with the larger drops you get a lot of stray drops and a variety of shapes.
For these, I measured out 250 m. of water for the reservoir and made a line on the side to keep it at this point. There is a level indicator on the reservoir but it is not visible from the side. Distance from valve tip to water in the drip tray is 48 cm. The depth of water in the tray is 44 mm. I used plain water with some blue food colouring. Distance from camera lens to the drop is about 53 cm. Any variations in this is going to result in a different splash.
