what burst speed should i set the camera at. last weekend i was at 12 shots per sec but the second shot didnt get flash exposure. i have the ds232. I also was on ttl, does it make any difference?
It depends on the camera and the power output of the strobe (whether TTL or manual). Around 10 fps is possible at lower power settings. But more commonly we are shooting at low speed continuous. Keep in mind that continuous shooting is stressful on any strobe so to get the best lifetime you don't want to constantly push your strobes to the limits.
I will welcome more compact battery with Li-ion cells and transparent silicone protector with flat front for scratch protection and ability flat surface to stand on.
I made my own protectors from a 3" PVC pipe flexible coupling - each are 3.5" in length & they cover the leading black area of the strobe housing and extend just beyond the lens for protection
Thank you, we have heard similar requests for a protective cover, ideally something that does not reduce the effective coverage angle of the strobe. In our experience li-ion cells don't provide as long of a lifetime when used with high-powered strobes compared to NiMH, but we're constantly evaluating new battery technologies and strive to provide the best balance of performance and life cycles.
The best strobes!! The ability to cycle incredibly fast with the wide spread and abundant power is unmatched
Thank you!
Amazing strobes! The combination of colour temp, recycle speed and beam angle makes them a dream for wide angle.
Thanks @joshblank2901! ❤️
I would love if you made a left & right dial priority strobe so both dials face inwards and were both visible
Thanks for the feedback!
Any thoughts of making an attachable snoot for macro photography?
Yes we’re working on something! In the meantime there are several third party options that can be used with our strobes.
