Is this the BEST Flash for Film Cameras? | LightPix Labs Q20ii

- Here's my review of the LightPix Labs Q20ii camera flash. A nifty little flash that can be used as an external flash for film cameras (or any camera with a hot shoe for that matter) I brought my friend Liam along to shoot some creative portraits with colourful gels! We shot a roll of Fuji C200 through his Canon A-1 as I don't have a hot shoe adapter for my Nikon F3.

Yohhhhh those pics turned out well
They did! Again soon! ‼️
great video man!
Thank you brother! 🙏
How do you know what power setting to put the flash on so that you don't blow out the image?
@@DillonKin in this video I was just going for the brightest or close to the brightest power setting and then using F11-F16 on my lens based on the subject being around 1-2meters away.
cool video dude!
Thanks, man, I appreciate it!
With most old manual flashes for film cameras they had a scale for choosing the power. Is there a scale for this where you can choose for ISO and distance to get the aperture? I really want to use this flash on my film SLR on an evening / blue hour just puzzled off what I should be setting my EXP for still street portraits to get a bit of ambient light and flash the subject
first video... new subscriber... overall great video💯👍👍
Appreciate you king! More to come 🔥🤝
Baie mooi dude🔥
Thanks brother 🙏😁

@@BTDJ_academy Hey, unfortunately it doesn’t have a scale but I’m sure you could find one online for it. I’m also used to using my old flashes for SLRs that have a chart on the back.
But I just went with the good old “full power” f16 2m rule 😅 and that worked for most of the portraits I’ve shot with this.
I think have a look for a chart online or maybe run a test roll through and try it out in a few scenarios.
I think once you find the sweet spot for it, then it’ll become second nature
i’ve hunted high & low. i use the same flash on my x100v so i guess i could mimic the settings in the same scenario but just put a fixed ISO of 200 on the x100v
there is a few good flash with film videos i’ve found but none mention what shutter speed they actually are using, they mention their cameras max flash sync speed but not what they are using on the camera
do you always use the camera max? eg. my Canon EOS-3 has max of 1/200
normally on my x100v on a night with a touch of ambience i would set my iso at 640, SS at 1/60 to capture the ambience of the background, ap at 5.6 then just test shout the flash power setting till i find a power i like
@@BTDJ_academy most of my cameras have a set camera sink speed typically 1/60 of a second. But when I threw this flash on my A7 S3, which I think can sync at almost shutter speed, no issues.
I definitely think it would be a good idea to chuck it on your X100V and mimic the settings you plan on using on your film camera.
Set up 200 ISO on your X100 if you plan on shooting 200 speed film. And then match the sync speed of what your film camera would be like 1/60 of a second for example.
Because I’m pretty sure the x100v can sync at most of the flash sink speeds you will find on your film cameras.
Let me know how it goes. I’m interested in hearing more and seeing your work!
Thanks for watching the video, subscribe for more! 😁
What is the fastest flash sync speed it can keep up with please? Can it fill correctly with a 1/500s shutters speed?
Yes it can, I believe that’s largely dependent on what your cameras flash sync speed is as well 💯
its good if u have a hot shoe
@@archglencoe8557 yea definitely needs a hot shoe, I don’t think there’s any way to hookup a sync cable ✨
@@emrhyssstead Is that not the jack input next to the micro USB input @1:18?
@@justinkingery2489 you’re right it is!
The prices on that website are only in SA currency it seems. Can't see how much it costs in dollars.
It’s around $85 👑💸
@@emrhyssstead Thank you I found it on Amazon. Appreciate your video showing this thing off.
Hey i have the Same. But mine is Not Flashing. Without camera or on camera it will not flash. Everything else works. Somebody now what it could be ?
Hey I found that it either needs a charge/new batts or maybe sure the baseplate is on as well - let me know if that helps 😁📸
I tried everything. Changed 4 different set of batteries charged the base. Nothing worked :(
@@Julienazamosa noo 😰 that sucks man, maybe see if you can take it back? Totally worth it when it works!
I send it back. When i get my redund i Buy a New one
@@Julienazamosa epic! Show me some results once you’ve shot with it 📸
new sub
Cheers! 😁
Doesn't have auto mode, so quite a mediocre flash for film
how about contaxTLA 200
