@@nipontaikham7923 yup

@@bhanukaran if my emphasis was product photography I’d rather have an AD200 for the extra power and greater variety of modifiers.

yes

I own all of the Godox Parabolic units as well as Bron color 88 133 222, and Selens Edge 90 120 and 150. Broncolor is great. Selens is the same if not better for 90 and 120 units compared to Broncolor. GODOX is softer and warmer. I shove all three of these with the same setup with a model. We both agreed.They all perform in their own particular way. I think the godox is sort of like a parabolic meets a soft box. It is not as aggressive as the others. This is not necessarily a bad thing. If you want to shoot female subjects with a little bit more wrap or have the quality of a parabolic mixed with a fill light at certain positions?I think this is a perfect modifier, set. I will also say that this unit is a lot nicer to use.And I love the carrying case. For me, sometimes the traveling experience of the product can be as important as the way it performs.

@ thank you Robert I have the Godox 158 and the 88 also Selena 90 so as far as my use the Godox 158 is my go to. Theres not much on you tube about parabolic light shapers. And you have a good point about transport the Godox cases are easy to use. Also they are on sell 1/2 off your the best you should post some pic of the new baby God bless y’all!!

Ok

@@josearevalo6998 yes

For the first question, you are effectively dropping your output a little over 1 stop to create the equivalent exposure of a single unit, which means an increase in number of flashes before thermal protection kicks in. For instance you'd be at 1/4 +.7 instead of 1/1, meaning your thermal protection count would be 150 rapid flashes rather than 60. Second question. No, I never ran into that because I never use the modeling lamps on these lights. I think that would only be an issue in very low light.

@@robhallphoto I was thinking more in line with using the 2 flashes at higher power settings in order to use that extra power in situations where one 200 would not work at the distance I want the light exc. and so the question is did having the 2 flashes back to back both getting hot together implead them from cooling off more efficiently than if there was just one with air flow all around. not a strait forward question I know but I figured you have used these quite a bit and may have noticed a performance shift in different situations with one or two lights in the duel mount. thx so much for your timely detailed responses :)

@ oh, the proximity has no impact in the recycle speed slowing down. The AD200s don’t monitor temperature, they work off a counter system. That’s why thermal protection can be overridden by removing and reinserting the battery.

@@Jwitherow1964 thanks so much and I hope you enjoy it. I’ll definitely post if I’m ever teaching in that area. Also, you got your meter on my birthday 🎂

@ happy birthday brother

@@latinimagecl by default the R2TN (Godox X2T-N) is not compatible with the SL-360N. Because the R2TN operates on 2.4Ghz wireless networks whereas the SL-360N uses previous generation 433Mhz (via the Ftr-16 receiver and FT-16 transmitter). However there is a “bridge receiver” called the XTR-16. This receiver plugs into the SL-360N just like the FTR-16 and will receive a signal from the R2TN. This same transmitter/receiver combo will also work with the Godox Wistro AD360 (not to be confused with the AD360II, which has a 2.4Ghz receiver built in).

​@@robhallphoto It was NOT a good idea to contact you, BUT it was a great idea: a) First to be subscribed to your channel and then b) Ask for your assistance. You were quick to reply with your kind technical assistance. I quickly got the Receiver ( Godox TXR-16 ) along with the Transmitter( Godox X2T-N ) for my Nikons as you recommended. And Voilà! After a few attempts, both of my Godox flash units were working as intended. The manual flash unit Godox Wistro AD360 and the Manual/ TTL FlashPoint StreakLight/ SL-350N. No problem at all. even my Nikon D780 was able to recognize and trigger both Godox flash units with no flaws. Back to work with a 100% usability of both of these Godox flash units. The previous Godox/ original Transmitters for these units were no longer available neither in The US nor in my area. (I must mention that I was residing in the US until June 2024 before I flew overseas, to Santiago - Chile in South America for some assignments. Delta Airtlines lost one of my cases with Godox Gear and accessories, and I was in trouble. They charged me almost two grands for my special photo gear cases for nothing. They never took any responsibility and I had to eat all their BS with silly excuses. You really saved my ***. ( Please, excuse me for my French! ) You are the man, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Glad you got it sorted out so quickly! Thanks for all the kind words Al.

@@nailaferiale5759 they don’t need to be the same necessarily , but you need your longest duration strobe to still freeze action.

@@robhallphoto you mean the shortest duration I think

@@nailaferiale5759 no, I mean longest. In a 3 light setup if 2 have a short duration and one has a long duration, you still won’t freeze the action completely, and will see motion blur wherever the long duration strobe is hitting.
