The Most Powerful Speedlight in the World

[@brucetrappleton6984]

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.

[@cgrosbeck]

You got it!!!! I totally agree!!!!

[@tintin69rr]

He’s brilliant

[@ivonned32]

I jist said the same to my husband 😮

[@brucetrappleton6984]

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.

[@goodmythicalmukbang3757]

Love how mark explains things. Very simple and efficient.

[@joaov.m.oliveira9903]

Yeah, a more Californian approach. Not many details that get people distracted from the fundamentals, you know, the type of detail that could only be interesting for a geek/specialist not the average aficionado.

[@contactpq]

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!

[@milesian1]

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.

[@whyrecordingisnecessary2710]

Mark, your content is sooooo informative and like how you keep it all real. No boasted inflation for product advertisements. Real, genuine, honest, insightful, and educational. Please keep up the good work its invaluable advise especially for how long you have been doing it! Your tenure shows with the advancing technology!

[@MarkusPix]

I appreciate that!

[@imagevisions101]

Thank you I appreciate the kind words. I teach photography here in Ohio. I tell the students there's always a different way to do something depending on what your end goal is so I have a tendency to think outside the box. I will share your link or website here about godox lights. There are about a half a dozen of us in my photo club that either Used godox lights or have recently switched to godox lights. thank you

[@mblendezt]

Are you still in give away, i just shooting with my eos m classic and sigma 30mm 1.4 dc dn thats all i have. I save money in a year to having my lovely stuff here.

[@Ataraxia_Atom]

Beginners think cameras make the difference. Amateurs think lenses make the difference. Pros know that lighting is what actually make the difference

[@MarkusPix]

Exactly!

[@bjones9942]

Or the lack of lights. Shadow is just as important as light.

[@olafschermann1592]

Joe McNally knows 5 lights make the difference David Hobby knows light modifiers make the difference … - long pause - … Greg Heisler knows color gels make the difference

[@thomastuorto9929]

One of the best places to put your money as far as upgrades & accessories go.

[@slimhim]

People who need to make money with this profession know that ALL these things are important depending on the purpose of what you’re achieving.

[@ohnoflicks]

Wonderful Markus! People think I’m stupid for still using a physical cord. You’re the best!

[@LucasHalastra]

Because people are ignorant. Im using transmiters, but problem with these is that you need a packs of batteries. Cable is simple and elegant solution if you use only one flash.

[@nooch86]

Refreshing to see proper photography advice that can be used in a professional setting. This is the kind of information that solves a problem and gets a job done, not just tips on making pretty instagram photos.

[@clintjohnson2460]

thanks for this-- I bought an 860II earlier this year---Love it--but yeah,, it can get over-powered by open sunlight--(very good for twilight /cloudy day)-- We rented 2 360s for a car shoot and they did the trick famously.. Great info-- This continues to be the most tragically under-used photo channel on KZbin...Appreciate all you do!!

[@paulshoots7621]

The best overall Flash in existence!! I own 2.

[@billthomas3405]

Another great video where you explain everything in easy to understand language. I've learned so much while watching your videos! Thank you for sharing your passion with all of us.

[@MarkusPix]

Thank you Bill

[@markattardo]

Your in the field hands on lessons/ demonstration are great. Thank you for taking the time to make them. Thanks for being patient Cara👍👍

[@MarkusPix]

Thank you Mark

[@giffordthompson4094]

Thanks for the fun class, great location. Your enthusiasm and sincerity is infectious.

[@MarkusPix]

Thanks so much!

[@ucheucheuche]

Markus, your photographic mindset is the what's so refreshing to hear. I'll tell people about your channel.

[@floridasaltlife]

Love when you drop new videos, always so fun....I am 3 days into studying lights, the more I learn the more I want and the price just keeps going up. I will bust it up into 2-3 different buys with a good plan.

[@carlosbarbosa5821]

Great service and advice for all budding photographers. Excellent. You inspired me. Great team work as usual. Awesome power couple.

[@thomastuorto9929]

Another great product decently priced from Godox. Got to love their stuff. Very generous on the give away too! Thumbs up!

[@joepowers3731]

WOW, that is a big give away. Love how informative your video's are. I learn something new every time I watch one of your video's.

[@mrpoe8005]

These videos are like taking a photography course. Except it isn't boring and teaches by hands on example! I'm a one person documentary filmmaker and can't imagine how much equipment you take with you on these adventures.

[@nfmosphotos4624]

Everyone talks about how informative and honest your vids are, and i totally agree, but the thing i like the most is how much fun you are having and how excited you get about gear and how it helps you get the photos you want. So many of the other channels are so serious and it makes you wonder if they even really enjoy this anymore. But anyways, keep up the great work!

[@emix1010]

First time using flashes seems like actually fun instead of a necessary evil. Thanks!

[@trevtog]

These have been my go-to lighting for years. The convenience and versatility are worth their weight (albeit light) in gold.

[@gillesmatheronpro]

As a regular viewer and an absolute fan of all those off-stream gear discoveries of yours... I, for once, regret not being a US resident. The landscape of southern France around me probably will help healing this disappointment. But please... think about some over-the-border giveaway, your foreign fans will get their smiles back ! And thank you for presenting this unique, as well as amazing, piece of equipement ! Chances are it gets to join my kit for location portrait-session... ☝😏

[@ivonned32]

Such a wonderful teacher! I love your style of making your videos and teaching! 🙏🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@MarkusPix]

thank you 😊

[@andyytube484]

Excellent......lighting can be daunting and complex.Love the way you break it down into simple steps,with, without .......it also helps if you have a great model. Thanks for sharing .

[@justpray365]

Night time video. Mixed a drink, relaxed, and learned something.

[@MarkusPix]

Good to hear

[@mikeyb6737]

I wish I was here 2 years ago. Fantastic video

[@MarkusPix]

Better late than never. The fun never ends here

[@jerkycam]

Thanks for the video. I have the same 360ii flash. I was taking it for granted till I saw this video.

[@pixelproshop9681]

Well done, have a Flashpoont 200 and you nailed it. Description and demo was great. Have been using it for a few years now and was not aware of the soft box. Thanks

[@dominiquebantasan6200]

Everything starts with a camera🤩

[@theoldmanoftech4039]

Oh that is an sweet package. Small, bright and high speed. Plus it’s also the best discussion of HSS that I’ve ever heard. Great job.

[@MarkusPix]

Thanks

[@jamesward7425]

The sound on this video is insane!

[@lisainpalmdesert]

Markus, love your tutorials!

[@BornAgainFarmGirl]

The things you learn from Markus & Cara 😁 , always very helpful information !

[@johnz4412]

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!

[@hitmakerstudio6405]

This man know fotography very well! I love your content very much Sir! Keep that information coming 😊📷

[@deblashbrook3209]

Absolutely awesome video. So wish I could enter for those Godox flash units, but in the UK. But good luck everyone, super exciting 👋

[@divusiulius7539]

Wow !!!! I Love your Videos. Nothing beats a demonstration. I always leave with more than I came with, with your videos. So, Thank You.

[@MegaIndulgence]

Great video. I did not know about the small round softbox. I agree this light is a great power for on the go. Plus the battery gives a lot of power that can last all day long for shooting.

[@joegrossinger3381]

Excellent video

[@geofflongford2008]

Wow. It gives your subject a suntan

[@andrescastro8198]

I own one of those AD360 and I'm in love with it!!

[@maniacpuma]

Liked and subbed. Thank you for being as you are and explaining things clear and straight forward. I also thank you for editing your videos without a "cliche youtube format". I can watch your videos without cringing. Cheers!

[@BourbonDrinker]

Beautiful shots and thank you for the lesson on lighting. I still have a lot to learn.

[@MarkusPix]

Thank you Darren

[@MiaHessMusic]

I love that Markus talks about using a cord. I have a real love-hate relationship with Bluetooth devices, LOL!! I know absolutely squat about off camera lighting but this was interesting. His light stands look really thick; mine aren't.

[@REMY.C.]

Another giveaway and all those things? That's insane. Thanks for those. Good luck for you U.S guys!

[@MaiElizabeth]

Photographing animals (pets) also needs light sometimes. But it’s hard to set up one without making them uncomfortable or shocked. I think that is one good aspect to learn if you could teach us.

[@brettharrisphotography7463]

Love my Ad 360 original version.

[@slaidaniel628]

This flash is awesome dude 😎🤠🤠

[@michaelkokot6349]

I have an AD200 and a couple AD600's and they have all been great. I had not really considered the AD360 until now. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@MarkusPix]

Yeah I use the 200's and 600s all the time. The 360 is what I used to use before that - they are powerful enough for just about anything.

[@PatrickJaszewski]

I've been using the Godox TT600 for a while with the wireless trigger for some time, but this is next level bright. I love those light modifiers - seems really slick! Thanks for sharing as always. Well made, clear, and helpful! I was always fighting the sun, but this can beat it!

[@cgrosbeck]

In the field tech talk to the TTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!! Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!

[@BrookviewLabs]

I just discovered your channel. I have several ad200s and modifiers and stumbled on your video about the clunky s adapters which is why I was searching KZbin. I love the ad200’s and have the ec2 adapters to mount a flash on camera when I shoot events. I typically use a bare bulb. Your content is great and I’m so glad I am now a sub. Keep going!

[@robertlewisvideo]

I always learn something from your videos. Awesome.

[@MsMorganGirls]

Nice to see the Nikon EM, it was my first SLR camera, bought it in the Navy Exchange in Bermuda back in 1981.

[@Joe-mg6pj]

Totally wished we were neighbors... you 2 would be so fun to hang out with! Another great tutorial!!!

[@bernadettebecher5668]

Thanks heaps for this presentation. Love your videos.

[@RagingBubuli]

Godox figured out what we really need.

[@ChrrZ]

really great video, and i love the godox flashes too! thanks for sharing this very good information

[@StormgodStudios]

Great video Markus! I have many friends that just rave about the older 300 version. I'm all about HSS and love how you use them in that mode.

[@jerrykolberg6046]

Very scenic and informitive

[@olafschermann1592]

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.

[@TheWjbrown37]

I have 2 AD 360 flashes, amazing flashes.

[@NikCan66]

Excellent tutorial

[@ImageMaven]

Thanks for the lesson Markus. You're the bomb!

[@JeremiahNichol]

I love your production skills. The way you cut in all of the sound effects. Your presentation is always so good. I need to look at your channel to figure out what your microphone is. It's pretty damn clean. Nice job as always. I'm not into photography too much but I really love watching your tutorials.

[@coolbananaboy5075]

Absolutely 100% agree.

[@lisainpalmdesert]

I would like to know what kind of Mic he is using! The sound is excellent!

Great video Markus. I'm not near the level of being worthy of such a fine piece of equipment yet. Plus I don't do enough stills yet. Great video. Love how you make it all make sense. Thank you for such a great channel.

[@bluenoser1567]

Some good information. Thanks for the video ... Cheers

[@ropeyarn]

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.

[@Janggut40]

Thank MarkusPix, watching from Marudi Sarawak. Thank you for the tips and guide.

[@dominicwroblewski5832]

I wish that modern speedlights would have a built in sensor for good old fashioned auto-flash like the legendary Vivitar 283 and 285HV. That old auto flash system was damn accurate, and a lot of times better than TTL.
