was the banding an issue with video?

Awesome video I am just getting started and dramatic sports portraits

It looks that the base pin is a baby / junior combo pin!? Can you confirm this? If you remove the knob it should be a junior pin which much stable than the baby… 😊

Thank you so much for this video! John Gress is also such an inspiration. To see you and him in one video really puts a smile on my face and inspire me so much. Thanks again!!

Amazing Work, I am learning so much here. Thank you for sharing!

Awesome video

Not needed to think about booms before until recently - and its a lot bigger than I envisioned. Sturdy and versatile though but... another heavy hit to my wallet! Very well built and engineered though by the look of it, so worth the money. Definitely think Id use one though, thanks for posting.

I own a much larger boom! The Westscott Mini Boom is just the "perfect" downsize.

Ace description love the details much appreciated :-)

Thanks James for this video and test. Really interesting stuff indeed. Question about misfires: when a misfire occurs on a shutter burst sequence, do you know if it damages the strobe electronics or the resistor as we are asking for it to fire again before it recharges. I ask because I'm sadly in the Godox/Flashpoint ecosystem and it's recharge rate didn't fare too well in this test respectively. Thanks!

Exposure triangle is terrible and not a good way to learn. Even the creator of the triangle said so himself.

Inspiring!

Great information, thank you

How do you trigger your westcott lights and your Einstein lights together?

Got a question... On the Godox/Flashpoint AC adapter, do you need a 10 gage extension cord so the AC adapter can keep up with the power demand of the 600watt light?

I have a stand like the one in the back right corder of your studio... the one with the pole and sliding arm with the clamp. Would the Easy Boom work with this light stand? Wonderful video! Thanks for showing all the ins and outs!

I'm glad I'm binging on your videos right now. You've been true to this 🙏🏿💪🏿

thanks for taking the time to make this

Can you share the place where you purchased the boards?

🎉❤🥳🙏🏼🥰😍 You are my greatest photographer role model. I celebrate you. i hope I can do some great pictures today, with this instructions! thank you so much!❤

Great video Thank You for sharing I’m leaning toward Westcott lights I appreciate the experience and thorough attention to detail.

Hi James! ​Great content as always! What would you suggest (backdrop wise) for someone going on location to photograph a dance studio? Right now I'm planning to do a white fabric back 9x20 white (horizontal) with a white vinyl floor taped. It needs to be wide enough for groups to pose and safe enough for individual poses and jumps...that's why I chose vinyl over fabric for the floor. Any thoughts?

Great video Thanks for sharing

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I have the easy boom, i am hoping that westcott makes a larger version of it. Love the westcott easy boom.

James, I got an email from Tether Tools with a link to your Gamecock's football 2024 shoot. Man, I really loved watching that video. Myself and a friend have been shooting a few high school football teams for their banners and posters to hand out. So, I got a chance to look through some of your other videos and I came across this photo shoot. I couldn't believe my eyes, I served 3-1/2 years aboard a Nuclear Submarine as a cook. When I saw this uniform for the Army - Navy game, I thought those are some really awesome uniforms and helmets. I have even bought a few of the shirts so I could wear to our Navy Reunion back in April of 2024. So, this is just a very special video for me since I served aboard a submarine and I have been doing sports photography on the side for 20 years. You do awesome work and I look forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!! David MS3/SS

Great video thank you James!

Reynolds Islands

I’m a fan!

On this shoot, u used black fabric as backdrop?

A great and informative video sent to me by Tether Tools. As an added bonus, I'm a lifelong GAMECOCK!

Thank you so much for your content. It is always appreciated. I love learning more about light what size rapid box switch are you using?

Great Video!! What's your camera setting for this indoor shoot?

Any issues with Moire with your canon gear?

Hey James, I just picked up two softboxes and 2 2x3 PLM. I'm pretty stoked but just realized that my AD100's are not going to cut it. I do have one AD200 and a 600 but the 6 is my key. If I get another 200, how well will this work outdoors? I'm in my 1st year using OCF and I'm hooked. I just don't have it in the budget right now for 2 more 400 or 600. Maybe by the end of this season.....but for now I gotta use what I got. Great video by the way!

Awesome video James!! thank you so much for sharing your experience. It helps a lot. God bless.

Great tips, James! I have to try this out.

Thanks James. Great setup!

Thank you so much for your BTS. It is so helpful. What seamless backdrop are you using?

What did the R5 not do for you that made you decide to get the R5 II?

Great work. Love to see how the real world works

Mr. Quantz, you are the man! You have helped me out in so many ways and I don't even know you. Incredible. Thank you for all your shared knowledge. You are doing a great service to us all!

Can you share detailsabout the column stand set up you use for your strip lights? Including the brackets that attach to the column. I love this. It looks so much sturdier than a regular light stand.

What’s the dimensions of the space you are using if you don’t mind me asking?

Awesome stuff James! Always love seeing your SC work every year.

Nicely done, but you used so many lights (10)!
