Canon Speedlite Flash are so much better

Could you do a follow up or long term review about these two systems ?

Please tell Neewer that we want Fujifilm Transmitters... i want that Q4, but without the Wireless trigger i cant use it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you for this video. Your video cleared all my doubts. I always thought that may I use my godox flash with softbox or not. I found no video regarding it. But today, I found your video, and it's saves my money.

❤️ it! I'm going to try this.

Thanks for the solution

Great video man.. congrats!

I just wanted to add that this is not just a sony problem. The equivalent feature on canon is called exposure simulation and it is greyed out when using any e-ttl capable flash or trigger. If you don't need hss or e-ttl features, the solution is to block the four other contacts besides the centre pin on the camera's hot shoe. I used masking tape and the pins do not immediately take the tape off so I'm assuming this will work as a solution and I will only have to re-apply the tape periodically. It irritates me to no end that I have to have this ugly solution to bring back a software feature intentionally disabled for no good reason, but I'm relieved this solves the problem. If I ever need HSS or e-ttl I will remove the tape and live with the lack of exposure simulation. Needless extra information: I didn't even know this was an issue because I have been using a non e-ttl flash trigger from the beginning of my career. This is not an issue for many and there are workarounds to, at best, create a preview button that forces exposure simulation on for a moment. I am using flash as an accent light or as a background light. My portrait subjects are lit by natural light or video light which means seeing how the light is changing (esp. the sun) is something I have grown used to keeping an eye on and made the switch to mirrorless truly game changing for me. Fast forward ten years later and I decided to invest 2k on a fancy new lighting system from westcott (1 x fj400 and 2xfj80s w/ fj-x3m trigger). I don't need the e-ttl features, I just wanted battery power, led modelling lights and remote power control (I was using a basic trigger for an einstein e640 before this). I discovered today that I can't get exposure simulation turned back on no matter what. I can understand having a feature that switches exposure simulation off when using flash, but why did they go out of their way to make it so I can't use it at all? It's not just a very useful tool, but I also just like the experience of shooting whilst seeing the real exposure based on my settings. Now it's just some arbitrary exposure which means the skin can be washed out or underexposed... Honestly it made me want to switch camera systems... until I saw this video that is. I spent months and months researching what flash system I would invest in - had I known I would lose my favourite feature of mirrorless cameras in the process I would have saved the money. Sorry for the rant, I'm as close to being heartbroken as someone can be over a camera feature being lost. Again, the tape solved the problem but I'm psychotic and it will take my months to get over having a piece of tape on my (also) brand new camera to restore functionality I've enjoyed problem free since 2019.

can we use vb30 in v1?

Thanks for video. I do have a question about the evf. Does is really sucks or is it workable?

Hiya, what does it mean when on Amazon it says “built in” or “slave” for a ad200 pro?

a good visual example is worth 1000 "smash that like buttons"

Great Video

👍🏼

Hey Robert, I love your stuff. I know this is an old video but does anyone know if there is a way to set the on camera speed light to TTL while keeping the off camera lights set to manual?

Great job

This comparison video series was perfect, thank you! Just purchased the fj400 and two fj80 2s with the newer fj-x3m trigger. Happy so far. Main thing that drove me to Westcott was the colour temp consistency between the different models, the plug in option for the fj400 and the apparent battery issues with the godox 400 and 600 pro models.

Great Video

Great idea for the UI changes

Every godox attachment for my Sony is way too tight feels like it’ll break

I have to say that most of the crap coming out of Westcott and others are also useless tools, and full of marketing hype!!! I get modifiers from Adorama (Flashpoint) that are a fraction of the price, and just as good.

Thanks! Quick question. Do you still use loupedeck?

may I ask which sony flash can do 30 frames per second? Thanks

You shot at what power?

Try to make a video without putting your wife down so much.

Wow so good.

Just ditched everything Adobe a few weeks ago and switched to C1 and Affinity for my photography work. I really like C1 so far, although I've also noticed it is slower at importing or exporting photos than LR was.

Thank you. Was about to return my flash.

Thanks When I trigger the flash using X2T trigger the Flash works but the light stays on, Any setting to turn this continuous light off (post triggering flash)

If I did not already have so many Godox lights I would switch, in the V1, 860V3 and AD200 I feel like they are pretty comparible, but once your ready to step up to 400w Neewer is way cheaper, but I just got the AD600 Pro so I guess if your skipping 300/400w and going to 600w Godox still is a good idea.

Thank you. Very clear video from one point to another.

Thank you for taking the time to explained it.

So it works only by electricity? And we can`t use it outdoors?

absolutely agrre with your suggestions!!!

can you control kelvin on 600? my temperature is very blue or do you only adjust via camera

I used one of these for the first time yesterday and even though I have HSS enabled on the remote and HHS enabled on my camera, I couldn't increase the shutter speed past 1/250. I checked multiple times that HSS was enabled on both, but no matter what I did, I could not get the shutter speed to increase. This was using a Nikon btw.

I'll wait for X3 Touch "Pro"! :D

Would you say this is better than the Lindsey Adler? I have the Adler vision.

Hi! This was a very usefull video! Thanks a lot Rob! I have been trying to find the metal adapter you mention SMDV DA-03, and it's impossible to find! I found they send something very similar in ADorama, but they won't ship to Europe!! Any suggestions on how to get my hands on this apapters ? Thanks a lot in advance!

the fact that no one addresses the issue with the inside "bumps" kinda pisses me off. I got the 150 version which has tehe same issue

Hi Rob, I confirm the 1/3 stop power loss, I have tested 2 unites (heads) with Sekonic LITEMASTER PRO in different scenarios, cable fully extended, cable laying on ground cable not touching the stand, you name it, it is always 1/3 stop less, I have done at 1/4 power, 1/2 and Full power, and at distances ranging between 1.5 and 2 meters for both heads, with different reflectors, the flash standard reflector and the bownes standard reflector, always consistently losing 1/3 stop of power, making the AD600Pro with the head more like AD400Pro, I know I got less weight slightly better recycle time and the power when needed, but the loss of power and shorter cable sounds like a downgrade to me compared to the previous model.

Love it

I have a sony A7c for photography with the transmitter. I want to use a Sony A7i for photos and use the A7c for videos Can the transmitter work with the a7i??

2024... the problem is still there

How do you get 5977-6377K range from a 5600K +/-200K light? Did something go wrong?

Love the zoom idea! ✨👌🏾

I recently purchase a new X pro II N trigger. Everything is working fine in iTTL mode. My issue is when I switched to manual mode the unit isn't controlling my flash output. I'm using a Nikon Z9 with a Nikon speedlight SB-910. Im also using a X1R-N receiver along with my S Pro II -N. Thanks in advance for any response to my question.

Thank you

Have you tried DxO Photolab?
