You need a really big flash to do HSS indirect. Not even Sony can change physics.

Can you shoot high speed sync with these? Can I shoot at 1/1000th of a second shutter speed? Thanks!

If you want to use hss and bounce off of a ceiling or wall I use godox triggers on camera and flash. Just put the flashgun on a bracket beside camera

Hvl60 on a7 mk1 not working 🤔

No sample photos, no examples how far the light can actually reach, etc. Useless. Maybe will order it on amazon and return if I don't like it.

It's 2022 and here I am watching you vid. Thank you, even 5 years later.

Looks great

Good review. I'm glad to feel I'm not really missing out on much sticking with BRX, except some convenience and refinement. An LED modelling light that you will never break or have to replace is honestly a pretty big plus though.

Im wondering where can i put my deep umbrella. Usually i can fit it on the handle of my dlite rx 4.

Excellent, thank you. Would be nice to have a battery-powered Elinchrom monolight though, to compliment the ELB/Quadras I run around with. I am more of a 'field' person, obviously. :)

thank you, great review, I think I'll get these.

If I understand correctly, rechargeable AA batteries aren't necessary? The standard throwaways are okay?

Any alternative for nd gel?

how i get the jell?

Thank you. I was going crazy trying to get HSS to work, and of course I wanted to use it with the flash head pointed at the ceiling.

Brilliant work! My BlackEye Pro Portrait Tele G4, my absolute favourite add-on iPhone lens does not come with a filter mount. Now it dóes!

Hi Sam, I have got Sony HVL-F60RM Flash which works in HSS mode in front and bounce position. Any shutter speed above 1/250 brings HSS flash icon on my A99II screen and it fires in both positions. I think your view about lack of HSS in bounce position is a bit overstated and in fact you've given the correct explanation from the manual. The lower power output in HSS mode would give very under exposed picture in bounce position. Moreover in weddings why would you use faster shutter than 1/250 anyway when you're using the flash? Especially with flash reflector card in place atop the flash....

did you film this in highbury fields?

Hi sam, do you think it's a good flash for wedding, or something else? I'm a semi-pro photographer, and i found it to half price in good conditions. What do u think about?

Having had one of these for a few months, I would like to say that I think the unit is very overpriced, for what it does. The flash is not worth a jot and why a plastic cold shoe? It’ll get damaged, over time. The Rotolite recommended rechargeable batteries, are excessively overpriced so look for cheaper elsewhere. It’s great as a fill light and the circular shape gives nice catch lights but you’ll find very good, much cheaper alternatives on Amazon or eBay.

Hey Sam, thanks for the positive review and so glad to hear you're a fan of the NEO 2 after getting it via the Sony deal! I know Darren has addressed your questions below but if you have any more do let us know :) Enjoy using it!

Hi Sam, Darren here from Rotolight. Thanks for the review, there is a bump from 0% to 1% as with LED's they need to have a certain amount of power for them to turn on. We can bring the power down gradually when we are going from ON to OFF but going from OFF to ON we are currently looking at ways around that :) The Elinchrom receiver built into the light will only work with Elinchrom SKYPORT transmitters, we have included the 3.5mm sync port on the back so that people can use 3rd party transmitter and receiver systems if they wish :)

Wondering if his flash will do good in weddings ? I do not care for HSS not my cup of tea ? I hear over heating issues ? I m really waiting for the profoto A1s Sony but for now have to get something I’m using the godox ones but unreliable lots of missfires just switched from Nikon

Hey Sam ! I can't get the AF Illuminator works properly. Got A9. Could you help me ??? Thanx a lot !

Nice review. Thanks for mentioning HSS issue. I didn't know what.

Just buy #12 welding glass and use rubber bands to wrap around camera .

First This will blur the picture and end up with a lot of details lost because it's not glass. Second, one sheet of this product don't even make half a stop because we can see through. It's good for lighting

i dont understand this gadget please tell me what are these?

That's is why I don't like Sony Flash, I bought Nissin i40 and Godox TT685S for my Sony camera

Another great video.. I just bought the HVL-F60M and can't find a beginner tutorial on the menu and how to use it "on camera". Would you consider making such a video?

Singapore has it

Hello, I was thinking of getting this flash. I currently have the f58m but I shoot with the a77ii and have to use the adapter. But I want to know have you experienced any of the dreaded overheating issues that this flash was known for? Thanks

where does the helmet go? they mention a helmet on their website.

Beethoven!!! Yeah mate!!

Which paper u used?

Where i can buy this folia

thank you for this video, plan on getting the 60m. Any firmware update to fix this hss?

hi nice update I would cover with Polly and just nice black as you crack on it'll suppress the grass and make it a lot easier

Great idea in theory BUT Lee ND filter sheets are not for cameras they are made for Stage lighting ( I have used Lee filters on shows for 30+ years) The ND camera filters are a completely different and higher quality. Sheets of Lee ND lighting filter have variable light transmission qualities due to the manufacturing process which does not show when pushing light through with a stage light but WILL show up as a faint vertical; or horizontal streaking effect when a photographic image is processed. If you want a cheap alternative try Welding Mask Glass plates which fit perfectly into a Cokin P filter holder and cost around £1.50 each, this glass comes in various shades including an extreme black which is easily double the darkness of Lee Big Stopper , All Welding glass is optically true.

its very tremendous

Hi Sam good look with your new allotment, I had lots of Robin visitors last year when I started my plot they are so tame .I'll sub

hi Sam new subscriber GT update keep growing 🐦🐞🐤👍

in regard to robins only the male's have red breast's

Hi Sam. I too have just found your channel and have subbed. Good luck in your new venture., Best, Steve.

Hi Sam, Just found your channel & subbed. 👍🏻 If you get chance try and get a few pallets, they make excellent compost bays Cheers.........Nigel

Has anyone try it ? Does it work if you use more layers for long exposures at 10 stops ? I want it most for creating a soft water effect

very well, Sir

The beauty of this method is that you could stack multiple layers to get a really big stopper!

I found this video by searching for "guru lean on him drone"
