Great video, the Yongnuo 560's have recievers built into them. You only need to get one Yongnuo trigger to control them. You can control power output of each speedlite individually right from the trigger. No need for the pocket wizards.
Hey, thank for the video. One caution, please. You mentioned C-stand and outside shooting ... this combination is no-no. C-stand is extremely easy to tip over in even lightest wind. Please be aware of that, don't allow your new strobe to be destroyed like that. C-stand is superb for studio, with flat floor and no wind (and unmatched for it's versatility). But with any inclination and /or wind, the leg spreader stand (of the same weight as C-stand!) will have much greater leg base (footprint) and stability. C stand does hold the tipping force only in one direction - in the direction of longest leg. In all other, and especially if wind blows in direction between two legs, there is absolutely no resistance to tipping. And no amount of sandbags will help! So for those conditions, purchase a professional, sturdy and heavy leg-spreading / combo stand.
Indeed - and thanks for the response! When we shoot outdoors - either with the heavy duty Manfroto light stand or the C Stand, we have an assistant holding it (along w/sandbags). All the best!
Very well explained thank you. I'm a bit surprised that the pictures you took are so evenly lit considering you used just one softbox (to subject right)
Hello, and thanks for the response. Two soft boxes - and two Godox lights. AD400 pro, camera right, on a 36" Octo and the Studio's Godox, camera center - with a rectangular softbox. I mention both in the video. Using the AD400 at 1/4 power and the fill at 1/4 +.003 made for a perfectly lit set. Cheers!
I love my AD400! I've always transported with the bulb still in, never had an issue. I always enjoy your thorough videos! EDIT: I had to add on to my comment as I've continued to watch your video, thank you so much for the shout out!!
Thanks Anthony! Also appreciate the tip - I now leave the flash element in the AD400 when traveling. Did my first outdoor shoot with it, recently. Love it -- appreciate your in-depth review man - it was so full of great info!
