Back in the 80's I spent a couple of hundred dollars on a soft box. And that was for one of the cheaper brands. The flashes it went on was $800 and had the same output as my Godox Ad200. And it weighed as much as 6 or 8 AD-200's. Be glad that there are all sorts of much better cheaper soft boxes and flashes available today. And thanks Markus for the video of todays alternatives.

Great video, Markus! The Quantum QF63B Reflector is a telephoto reflector when using the Quantum Trio on camera. The reason for had a shadow in your test is because the subject was too close. The large reflector throws the light out farther. I use the Trio often for trail running images but never use or need the QF63B. I use the Trio often without the diffuser when I need a bit more pop with excellent results.

I realize I'm commenting on a year old video so you may never read this but... one test I would love to see you do is an AD200 with a Rogue FlashBender v3 XL and compare the results with a softbox. Since the Flashbender needs no adapter at all it might be the ultimate lightweight solution but I'd like to see the shows it produces with an AD200 before I spend a couple hundred bucks on them.

Your shooting camera does a great job of staying in focus. And this upload is very worthy. If you edited it while still there even more props to you. I stayed in Monument Valley at the Goulding's Lodge Hotel. Out of season in the spring. (I hit Sedona and stayed up on the bluff too) About 20 people around in Monument. . You know, when I traveled single, I got the suspicion people thoight I'm going to write a review. They had just opened up a trailer home off from the hotel near a parking lot. You could have put up 8 people in the thing. Big porch, still a great view. I'd hit the restaurant, and things were so mellow, my server, a local Navajo gal, would sit at my table and we'd talk about her world and mine. Another year I took the Rockie Mountaineer from Vancouver to Banff. For four days, I had the best seat in the viewing car. Nobody in front of me for almost 16 feet. No seats... I had a table...again, I think they thought I was going to review the trip. The trip is on my youtube page. But, back to you, Bob....No...wait. While up on the bluff at the motel in Sedona, the little girl in the room next to me was crying for a really long time. The next day, I saw the family. Young people. The father had lost both his arms and had two artificial ones. It all sunk in heavy.

Thank you for the video. I noticed you have a strong preference for portable, compact, simple, and lightweight camera equipment. While I understand your perspective, what are your thoughts on professional-level equipment? Do you consider them unnecessary, a waste of money, or overrated? This brings me to my next question: As a cinematographer/photographer and a talented artist, have you ever considered designing your own camera gear?
