This week in our Try It series we are focusing on the basics!
In this video, I'll go over how to set up the Alien Bees B800s so you can get to creating confidently + quickly!

[@pinkizhott09]

Ok.... I feel like such a dingbat lol I have had that umbrella forever and NEVER KNEW the bottom unscrewed... I just made it a point to be hyper aware of it so nobody gets impaled lol. Omfg thank you for including that!!

[@anagarciarivera5570]

What Umbrella brand is that? Mine doesnt have that.

[@patriciatedeschi512]

Fantastic presentation - educational, to the point and encouraging presentation. I will watch more of her videos.

[@lynnehalterman8578]

You are awesome, smart, clear, easy to understand. Moved at a great pace for someone watching a tutorial. I'd like to hear more about the small silver modifier and how to use to photograph a huge group of people, like 500 high school seniors on gym bleachers.

Thanks!

[@jackyy.1542]

good job

[@photos9771]

This is a brilliant introduction. I’m shooting with an Alien Bee B800 next week, however, it seems that the hot shoe for my camera isn’t compatible with non Canon flash accessories / nor does my camera have a synch port - anyway around this ?

[@mathew896]

Awesome! is the transmitter unicersal?

[@JulieHagenbuch]

Thanks for the great video! What stand are you using?

[@Sentinel85_]

Can you share where to find both the transmiter and the trigger ?, great video thanks 👍

[@creativespacestudiosco.2553]

Hey Jorge! Thanks! The trigger and transmitter are all on the Paul C. Buff website.

[@greerlaporte1142]

What type of adapter are you sing to connect tripod to light then umbrella?

[@jackieandrade6576]

stupid question but does the trigger come with the strobe light for this one?

[@halimam.7792]

Where did you get the tripod? What kind is it I got an alien bee but it didn’t have a tripod for it

[@mariannakoytsan5223]

Thank you for the video! Question what if i have only sync cord, can i still use it? Do i need anything else for that, except the strobe light and camera (Fujifilm xt1)

[@creativespacestudiosco.2553]

Thank you! I'm so glad it was helpful! You can totally use a sync cord! There's a sync cord port on the back of the Alien Bee Goo luck!

[@MomLife123]

What size is the octabox & diffusion fabric

[@luisaesperanza7247]

Where did you get the umbrella?

[@melisapalermo711]

thanks for this. does the light come with the trigger or is that sold separately?

[@creativespacestudiosco.2553]

The triggers are sold separately on www.paulcbuff.com

[@azucenazamora]

Do you have links to the tripod you got?

[@torotwister]

Where did u get the tripod

[@sharonmcbrayer2613]

What size is the Octobox?

[@MrSereoghin]

Super nice review, thank you! Really liked the umbrella and how the diffuser attached to it. Would you share what brand it is as I am looking for buying a similar strobe. Thank you 😊

[@yahasmin2004]

Same question here please :) thank you

[@FastPawz]

It’s an alien bee by Paul c buff

[@kerenabc123]

What if you use Sony?? I’ve only seen canon and Nikon users use it

[@schneeg]

that's easy you just buy a sony to ISO standard hot shoe adapter so you can use the CST trigger

[@creativespacestudiosco.2553]

Everything you see here can be used with Sony! The transmitter is just a hotshoe mount, which I think are universal.

[@legary2007]

If only she could spit out whatever's rolling around in her mouth......SO distracting.
