      I'm not sure to be honest. I feel like it wouldn't be recommended to use the battery while it's still plugged in though, even if it worked.

    Hi Scott, thanks for the informative Walkthrough. Do you have an idea why the Xpro doesn't allow to adjust the AD400 down to 1/256 of power, but only to 1/128? Or is there any limit adjustable anywhere on both units?

      Hi! You can adjust that in the menu of the xpro I believe, around 5:25 in this video:

    What's the difference between the 400 and the 600 model. How do purchase some?

  • @808dms
    @808dms 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My question is, is there a way to turn of all but the 1 group in use (A, B, C, D)? Does it matter that Im using (example) Group B only but when I cycle through the other groups I notice that they are listed at power levels and I can't turn it to a off setting. Is there a way to turn the other groups off on the AD400Pro? Or as long as the group are turned off on the trigger it doesn't matter?

    • @ScottDumas
      @ScottDumas  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The trigger is where you would set groups to be on or off... for example, if you have one AD400 set to channel B, you can control that light (and others that are also set to channel B) from the trigger. That means you can control or turn off 4 separate channels from the trigger, and the lights which are set to each channel will match what you set on the trigger. Hope that helps

    Hey, what is color mode? And how do I adjust color temps? Thanks!!

    • @ScottDumas
      @ScottDumas  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Color mode will help to keep more consistent color between flashes and especially between lowest and highest power compared to standard mode. It will have certain drawbacks though like the flash duration being slightly longer which isn't great if you're trying to freeze action.
      You can't adjust color temperature though- it's a daylight color flash only.
      Hope that helps!

    • @ScottDumas
      @ScottDumas  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You might need a little more power than this depending on the modifier and how sunny it is. In the shade with a moderately sized modifier this could work I think. I’ve used the old 600 outdoors (almost the same output power as this) in an Aputure Light Dome and it worked out for me

      About 2:51 I showed how to turn it on and off but that's all there really is to it for the most part :) You can also control this with the Xpro, and just turning it on should allow you to go above the max sync speed and use high speed sync
