Hi there! Barry's personal channel can be found here: www.youtube.com/@BarryMountford/videos As for the kit used, the CITI600 Manual is still available here www.essentialphoto.co.uk/products/pixapro-citi600-manual-battery-flash/ Or an upgraded option would be the AD600 Pro www.essentialphoto.co.uk/products/witstro-ad600pro-all-in-one-battery-powered-ttl-outdoor-flash A good alternative to the LED100D would be the Godox SL100Bi here - www.essentialphoto.co.uk/products/sl100bi-compact-100w-daylight-balanced-led-studio-light

@Brian-mr1wk18 күн бұрын
So, if you're shooting at a shutter speed that doesn't allow the curtain to fully open and that in turn causes your flash to fire multiple bursts to compensate, the flash won't be able to give you the power output you need to properly expose the image as opposed to when it just fires once at a slower shutter speed. Is that correct?
@FluidPrompter18 күн бұрын
Great video - only thing I didn't catch is whether the control box has fans in it? The Aputure F22x for example does have a fan which is known to be slightly louder than people wish. I have the older Godox light mats which are fanless and silent, but lack new control options like DMX.

How does the TTL work? Meaning when I go to purchase this flash on Amazon, there is no selection for camera brand? I have the Nikon Z system. Do I need to specify Nikon?
@essentialphotovideoАй бұрын
Hi Dave, it looks like the Lux Master comes with a bracket to attach it to the bottom of your flash rather than attaching via hotshoe to the top of the camera. So to use the TTL function you'd need a TTL Compatible trigger or trigger cable to pair with it 😊
@davemil716Ай бұрын
@@essentialphotovideo So it is dependent on the trigger for the proper TTL connection. That's really smart thinking!

We are not sure. Would it be possible to send a short phone clip to us at [email protected] showing the issue, we will then pass it on to the engineers at Godox to see what might be causing it. From there, we will let you know how to resolve the issue.

Hi grids look good and add control. I like the new hinge style FlatPaks. Minor point, mass of box/light should be ideally under the long leg of a C-stand (as demoed by PixaPro colleague in another vid) however with a small box and AD300 that isn't boomed, it won't likely present any serious 'topple' risk albeit it's not as stable as it could be.
@rickymcc86242 ай бұрын
Much prefer faster assembly 'easy open' types. However there is, as I'm sure you're aware, a new PixaPro FlatPak style which allows you to keep part assembled (much like easy open) but has a hinge mechanism that folds the interface ring flat relative to walls or box. Net result is smaller packing, even faster opening and tear down, albeit at still greater cost. But IMO probably worth it if you want to travel. You have probably also done a review on that too or are planning to do so in future. Only comes on octa styles 70 cm and 100cm plus a rectangular 30x90cm. Neat. I bought a 70 but will likely buy others too.
@rickymcc90722 ай бұрын
HI some good advice. But, at circa 10:30, I note you adjust the height upwards via the lower clamp. Whilst OK at heights you are working at, it's a better practice to adjust the upper clamp first. Why? Because if needing to go still higher then you can still reach the lower clamp. If you raise the lower clamp to it's max height then reaching the upper clamp is difficult (may need a ladder), typically requiring lowering before adjustment to first the upper clamp the raising the head again st the lower clamp. It's also good to not fully extend each section as with a little tube overlap there is greater stability - a tip I learnt also applies to boom poles too. Finally, where possible, it can be helpful to superclamp a heavy power pack or ballest to the column base (eg as with clamp Apurture use for their ballasts).
