What I love about this guy’s videos, is that he doesn’t waist any time in bullshit talk, as 99.9% of youtube videos do. This guy values your time. Every single word that comes out of his mouth is USEFUL INFORMATION. And everyone of his videos is a wealth of information and knowledge on the subject he’s presenting. To me, he’s one of the smartest people on youtube, because he talks about what he knows or has researched thoroughly. Pick any span of 2 minutes in any of his videos, and there is more information there than in any group of 5 videos found randomly on youtube and put together.

If I had to go to photography or video school again, I want this guy as a teacher. No BS, just teaching you the tools of your trade. I remember ages ago while in film school, I would take a class (90 minutes!!) and I’ll came out confused and needed to go practice for hours to see if I could make sense of anything the teacher had said. Compare that with 20 min watching Mark’s videos. You understand absolutely everything (because he goes out of his way to SHOW you what he means), and in only 20 min you walk out with a whole new set of tools, ideas, info, knowledge, etc.

I have been using this flash for years now and its a workhorse and built like a tank! I also have two Godox 860II, the AD 200, and the AD600 but I find myself "always" grabbing my AD360 for every shoot .. the wind has blown this thing down countless times and it always comes up working ... once it even came apart after being slammed to the sidewalk by a gust of wind .. I picked up all the pieces, took it home, taped and glued everything back together and its working like a charm ... Love this flash!
@milesian12 жыл бұрын
That's funny. The same thing happened to me. I was shooting a running race at night and using two AD360s and one of the stands fell over, splitting the flash unit down the seam. I popped it back together and it still works. However, the one that DIDN"T fall over just simply stopped working, ironically, and Godox wants me to send it back to China for service so I have just kept its corpse around so far. Living in Asia, I was an early adapter of the AD360 and Godox gear from 2011-12. Now the whole world gets to enjoy this fantastic system of flashes from this company.

It's my highest power flash for the past 3 years. I sold my AD 600, which was overkill, top-heavy on a stand, and had battery maintenance issues. I have family members hold a flash pole with this and a small soft box, since the main weight is over their shoulder with the long-lasting battery pack. The only downside I hear mentioned is the fact that it's two pieces and has a cord. In truth, that's one of its greatest advantages. Not the cord, but the weight distribution. Much more powerful in actual use than the AD200, and nearly the same as an AD400. The price is also great. I have no need for anything stronger, and love this light!

What i love is the combination of a wired speedlight and a leaf shutter and prime lense (e.g. the portable fujifilm X100). You can overpower the sun with a 60WS speedlight at F/2 having a true sync speed of 1/2000 (not loosing power due to HSS shadowing the curtain). And that as a ultra portable combo. To get nice shadows i use a monopod to lengthen my arm holding the speedlight. Requires a light speedlight or Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s arm. Love the barebulb flash and mini softbox you showed on the godox. Softbox up close makes it relativly larger on the subject.

Cords really belong in the studio because it is so easy to pull down equipment in the heat of the moment. In the studio you can mount the light stands to dollies. If you want to do it Markus's way get a handgrip you can attach to the Speedlight base to keep your hand from cramping. Also, use a camera strap to keep from dropping the camera. When you get a new piece of wireless gear take it off the default frequency that everyone else is going to use.
