Godox Lux Senior Review Tips Tricks and Tutorial Featuring Nikon ZfC, Pentax K1000 Cadet Retro Flash

[@jamesgordonpatterson1753]

Set your camera to M manual mode. Set flash to M manual. Start with these settings: 1/4 power, f/5.6, ISO 100, 1/125 of a second. You want the background lighter? Then slow the shutter. Take a few test shots.

[@theCameraVille]

Thanks for sharing! Nice~... This will help other users that are reading down the comments.

[@nsnoesuarez]

Thanks for posting the settings, really appreciate it.

[@johnnytwo-shoes9798]

It'll make me want to shout, "what a scoop!" after every photo.

[@theCameraVille]

LOL!!

[@MichaelRusso]

Ok, I am picking up that flash! Nice collection of camera's by the way. Great video. Thanks!

[@theCameraVille]

It looks really good with the Pentax MX I have now. It lives on it lol. K1000 looks really good too

[@LarsDahlin]

Technically it is a cold shoe on the film camera. Great tutorial!

[@theCameraVille]

Thank you. Sorry, I had like a retro Nikon Zfc mirrorless and then I had a film camera lol. Got too confusing.

[@thewhiteroom2032]

That's a cool unit. Something fun to level up a retro mood

[@edwardphilipmarianafzger9800]

Nice I bought it on this Monday at the end of Black Friday /cyber Monday discount Peace .

[@theCameraVille]

Yup~! Its a great unit. Mine still works great. Also it doesnt use the battery when you dont use it for a long time. The battery is saved.

[@marqueanthony2837]

Shouldn't the hot shoe work if you don't use the sync cable? You don't need to use the sync cable if you're using it with a hot shoe compatible camera?

[@theCameraVille]

It all depends so make sure you test with or without and dont forget to also slide a paper in the hot shoe for troubleshooting.

[@odinsfire1409]

The hot shoe will trigger the flash on its own. The sync cable is for Cameras without a functioning hotshoe.

[@thegreatvanziniphotos5976]

Just got mine this afternoon. Great fun. Good vid!

[@theCameraVille]

Rock on!

[@jenskieling8455]

Im used on a old camera from 1953

[@theCameraVille]

nice!

[@blacksheep6888]

Cool

[@cwills75]

So when using this in auto mode, what power do you set on the flash, or does is disregard the power set?

[@edwardphilipmarianafzger9800]

Godox Cadet and Godox Master are coming !

[@theCameraVille]

Godox Master, what is this master lol.

[@edwardphilipmarianafzger9800]

@@theCameraVille it looks like a Metz Flash only made buy Godox with the umbrella like on the Lux Senior the Good Master is not yet on the market I just saw it some days ago on a KZbin channel Krolop&Gerst a German really good page btw

[@seikibrian8641]

7:00 "The best way to fix that [internal battery] problem is to buy two of these, of course." No need for that. In the old days, we would often power our flash guns with an external battery pack slung from a shoulder strap, with a power cord running to the flash. The same could be done today with a portable power bank like a Belkin Boost Charge or Duracell Charge10. Depending on the brand and model they can be had for as little as $30, so you could get three or four of them for the price of one spare Godox Senior.

[@theCameraVille]

I must try this, Thank you for sharing. Would be interesting ~! Oh man~! That comment I made was on the fly but there was a lot to unload lol.

[@lilybuisset2648]

Does it make a cool sound when flash is charging ?

[@theCameraVille]

Cool sound…… 👀👀

[@user-zp6jc9zu4w]

Hi,Great video. Does this Godox Lux Senior work with Nikon Mirrorless bodies? Your video only shows Film cameras....

[@theCameraVille]

5:38 lol I did most of my testing on instagram. I will do a video with Z camera soon ! stay tune!

[@blainestiger5565]

Thanks for this review. How was the power pushing it through an umbrella?

[@theCameraVille]

It was amazing and I didnt expect it to be that powerful actually. I plan to do a follow up on the actual usage of the flash.

[@alex-chicago-80]

Back in the days it wouldn't be retro-style, it WAS the style.

[@theCameraVille]

😂😂😂😂🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@matthewd.lawrence5003]

best fit for Olympus Pen camera body

[@theCameraVille]

Olympus are nice. Used to own the Pen🔥🔥

[@MrMkariniot]

So what settings you use in your camera like iso and f stop is what you put on it right .? Only the meters is like where the subject is

[@theCameraVille]

I plan to do more tutorial on this flash unit. I been getting tons of question. Stay tune.

[@ERICSTEPPENWOLF]

Hello, how do I know if the charge is finished? There is no indicator light that indicates it?

[@theCameraVille]

When you charge did you see a red light on ?

[@ERICSTEPPENWOLF]

@@theCameraVille no

[@theCameraVille]

@@ERICSTEPPENWOLF You either have a bad cable or your unit isnt working properly. When I charge my unit, the red lights turns on.

[@ERICSTEPPENWOLF]

@@theCameraVille where ?

[@theCameraVille]

@@ERICSTEPPENWOLF Right by the off dial.

[@jenskieling8455]

Thank for the Paper hack😁👍

[@theCameraVille]

Yup!! You bet. Sounds silly but it works lol. 😭

[@roddteller]

Great review!

[@theCameraVille]

Thank you for stopping by! I still use the unit and its been great. Side note, the battery doesnt drain over time when not in use.

[@RRedKissaki]

my question.. after firing the flash, isn't then bulb becoming very hot ? can we touch it ?

[@theCameraVille]

When putting the flash away, I never felt any hot temps.

[@momentsbyron]

Can you use a power bank to charge the flash while using it or to charge it?

[@theCameraVille]

Yup. I plugged it in just now. Kept firing just fine.

[@blacksheep6888]

I thought it takes an EN-EL25 Nikon battery the same as the Nikon Zfc

[@theCameraVille]

Are you talking about the flash unit?

[@blacksheep6888]

@@theCameraVille yes the flash

[@J_dilla]

Is it work at fm2??

[@theCameraVille]

Yes

[@J_dilla]

@@theCameraVille how to get right exposure. is it auto?

[@pierrefiorelli9289]

I wonder if the deflector change anything compared to a "classic" flash ? Is the light less harsh ?

[@theCameraVille]

That will depend on the reflector size and also the material it is made out of. You can adjust the output setting or add other accessories to soften the light.

[@JerrisEverydayPeople]

How did you find it with the zfc? I’ve been trying to connect it to mine and something isn’t working!

[@theCameraVille]

Yup, I just tried it just now. I can help you over on IG. Add me @thecameraville.

[@jimmyhinAK]

Looks like the communicator on the OG Star Trek series.
