I just watched this and the end is so damn sweet, you thanking people for having 500 subscribers with it now being about 150k ist really cool :)
Love this dudes energy.
LOL, thanks Enoch!!!!
100% agree. I love how he delivers the content. English is my 2nd language but I understand clearly what he’s saying. I learned a lot since I started using XT 3. Thank you for making all these videos. Million thanks 🙏
So Much 🔥🔥🔥🔥
5 years on from you making this video I buy a Fuji camera and I cant thank you enough, Its been a steep learning curve coming from Cano but I now have a good grounding in Fuji's menu system and your videos on Godox flashes I couldnt have done without and I thought Canon and Yongnuo was a flaky combo!! Why oh why cant Chinese flash manufacturers make their great gear easier to set up and use? It took me hours to get my camera, Godox Trigger and Godox flash to talk to each other, two days later I set up my light stand, umbrella etc and nothing, turns out I had to rescan the flash and set it to another channel!! Grrrrrrr, or is it just me?!
Hey Chris, I've been watching all your fujifilm vids and I gotta say I love them. When you mentioned you had 500 subscribers I was blown away that this was only a 3 year old video now you have well over 100k! Well done and thank you for the time YOU put in. As you said it yourself, it's the most valuable thing and I just wanted to thank you for your time and invaluable content as you have taughtme so much.
Brendan.
My mind was also blown! This guy's convinced me to buy a Fuji XT3 and is about to get me to buy a flash for it!
Congrats on 500 subscribers 😁 I'm from the future, I think you'll do well with this TH-cam thing.
Thank you so much 😁
Thanks so much for making this video! I have been enjoying your channel while teaching myself photography and the X-T3. I recently got recruited to shoot my cousin’s Quinceañera (very special 15th birthday party) and am thinking I will need some sort of flash solution. Your video was available at just the right time and I’m so grateful to have recently found your channel. Now I’m just hoping I can find/get this flash in time. Happy holidays from a fellow Georgian!
Same situation lol, but wedding 🤙🏼
I like your energy and the way you show us the whole thing we need to know about it
keep doing awesome videos like this one!!!
One week later :
1200 subs !
Dude, congrats for having your channel on fire !
Thanks man!!! Appreciate it!! My friggin head is spinning! 😲😲😲
@@pal2tech now it's 17K. Man, you deserve it! I love your work!
@@ShutterKnack Thank you so much Tristan!!! You ROCK sir!!!
@@pal2tech And now you have 56k ))). Cool.
And now 120k. Epic!
Found a great deal on package of three Godox TT685F flashes and the Godox Xpro-F controller for my X-T3. I now just need to learn how to use them. Appreciate a video on that if you want to take the time to make one. I may buy the Battery Pack, but got to wait until my budget can handle it. One step at a time. Congratulations on subscribers, your doing great on the videos, you will grow fast.
Thank you!! Yes, I'll be doing that for sure. I've gotten a lot of requests for it, so it's in the works for sure. Godox/XT2/XT3 usage and setup, both with and w/o the controller.
You're the PB 960 Energizer Bunny & it's awesome. I appreciate the effort you put into your videos.
Fantastic...brightened up my dull day without needing any flash! Love it and subscribed
Watching this video 3years after release. From 500 subs to 120k. Well done pal! Doing it right 💯 %
I foucnd a T685-F on ebay for $25 working 100% fine. Bought two PB-960s on Craigslist for $80 total. I bought the Fuji version of this flash before I had a Fuji to work with my Nikon setup. The great thing about the Godox setup is that the wireless controller does all the work and will communicate with the flash units meaning you can buy the version for the different camera systems and still get them working with one another. When I picked up a used Fuji I already had a flash waiting for it. I can buy the remote for my Fuji and still use my Nikon speedlights as well. It's great.
Nice!!! Way to go to have one waiting and ready!!!
I needed to review this..since I needed and external speedlite. I knew you're channel was a gem back a year ago...from 500 subs to over 53k now!
Wow! I didn't know this battery! I have the flash, the trigger and the X-T3, so I'm going to get the battery!! Thanks so much!!
500! Congratulations, look at you now. Quite a wild ride.
Amazing is to track how you have been developing your content. Been studying the fuji system and every time that I need a reference...there's Chris, Pal2tech! Great info again!!! Cheers
That's so awesome to hear Carlos, thank you so much man!!!! 👍
Wanted to get a flash for my new XT4 and ran into this. Very informative video, great thanks!
No problem 👍
Great video! I am doing my first wedding next month and have to purchase a flash. You've sold me. Love your energy!
Awesome!!! Good luck with your shoot Ericka!!!! Cheers!!!
@@pal2tech Thank you so much! It's tomorrow! :)
I LOVE YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for YOUR precious time gifted to us
I've upgraded to a Fuji XT3 and man I'm glad I found your channel.
I used to shoot Canon,.. I still do, but I used to
Great to have you here Steve!!! And welcome to the fun, awesome, and definitely CRAZY Fuji family!!!!
Great video. Just got a XT 4 and this info is really helpful. Thanks.
Yet another great lesson from you, have a great weekend everyone..
Thank you so much for this vid. It gives me a lot of knowledge about camera flash. Im starting to be a photographer and its a great stepping stone. Thank you so much.
Hi! would you recommend this flash for XT4?
I used several Godox monolights in my studio. And very happy with them. For strobist, I've rather yongnuo speedlights. Very good, cheap and much easier to drive with YN triggers than Godox system
I come back just to say that Yongnuo doesn't make flashes for Fujifilm. I've been using them with my Nikon D850. Sorry for the confusion.
Hi a good vlog discussing the best pc specification for photo processing would be great. Thanks for all your work .
At this moment you now have 8400+ subscribers! You will have many more! Thank you for this post. A perfect flash for the Fuji, if you are planning to take a whole lot of flash illuminated exposures.
But what if you are not?
I use flash minimally, and only for fill when there is no other available light. That compact little flip up Fuji provides with the camera could be ideal, used with the appropriate settings, because it is small, pocketable, and easy to attach, when a little fill light is needed.
Question is, what are the appropriate settings, and conditions, to best use that little, flip up, Fuji flash?
Thank you so much!!! 🙏 🙏. That really means a lot to me and you've totally made my day!! That's a good question, but I'm not sure offhand and need to dig into it a bit more to come up with a good answer. I actually am working on an all-things-flash video for 2020 (early part) but just to slammed right now with all these holidays and stuff going on. All the best to you and please stay in touch!!!
I look forward to that upcoming tutorial from you!
Mark C. Rogers
Yea I’d like it too mark!! Pal2tech
Bring it on baby!! Haha!!! As a dad of a 9 year old I feel ya, I’m also getting back into photography after a long break so these vids are great. Your the MAN..
I'm looking for a flash setup, to use with my new 80mmf/2.8, for macro ...and there you are talking about the best flash for FujiX. I'm taking it as a sign. Glad I'm one of the 500. Just got into Fuji with the X-T3, so I'm looking forward to your TH-cam journey as you share the FujiX experience.
Awww, thank you Steve!!!! Much appreciated! 🙏🙏🙏. Please don't hesitate to let me know if there's any topic, etc. you want to see and stay in touch!!!! -- Chris
I found it WAY too bulky for an X-T4
Not wasting my time, saving me time and money instead. Been my go to source for camera info, every time.
Great work, great explanation Thankyou. I’ve been avoiding flash for fear of getting the wrong thing and spending loads of money on the wrong thing. You’ve just saved me a fortune, I’ll let you know if Santa brings me one and where it takes my photography to. Happy Christmas to you and your family, stay safe 🤩
Thank you so much Peter!!! 🙏 🙏 That's so kind of you and I hope you get one soon!!!!!
You are too too good! Did not know about this power pack. Thanks
Most welcome 😊
And now I'm watching this video in 2021. almost 38k subscribers. Good video though thank you. Was planning to buy fuji xt3 n you got good content on that.
I bought the Godox v350 which is a perfect fit for the XT3.
Nice!!!
Got one too. Perfect size and power is not bad either for running and gunning,
Well, I am big fan of flashes...But you are a very funny guy and I subscribed immediately! Keep on!
Thank you!
A year ago 500 subs, now 50k plus.... well done!!
Thank you so much! 🙏
Thanks! Commenting so I can find these later.
Fuji + Godox
For on body flash it is great on TTL, but suck on manual. Not only me but as i ask many says the same.
When godox flash attach on top of fuji, and set to manual. While shooting it will sometime (or most of the time for some) it will suddenly change to TTL, need to set again to manual and then its accure again back to TTL.
Great video, thank you! Would you please do a setup/settings video with the Godox/Fujifilm combos? That would be very helpful!
GREAT idea Eric, Thank you!!! Added to list, sir!
Thanks for your time! And the recommendation 👍
Hi Chris, First of all I love your videos. Nicely instructional and very humorous. Now for the matter at hand. I've had the X-T3 and the Bolt Cyclone battery pack for a while. Yesterday the Godox TT685ii was delivered to me. The reason I am writing is I can't while in TTL zip along like you do in the video. The reason seems to be the pre-flash. What, if anything, am I doing wrong? Thanks.
i have the Nissin Di700A Flash Kit with Air 1 Commander and love it!
Great review
Thanx soo much
:
I want talk about exposure metering in Fujifilm X.. please
Fun to watch your clips and very informative 👍
A other flash that I still have that out lasted my canon 30d, my Sony a6000 and now with my xt3, I use the canon 430ex ii. Had it for just about 15 years.
I am xt2 owner..and this video is great
Thank you!
“I’ve got 500 subs!” LOL 😂 As I’m viewing this
(and subscribing😉) you have over 87,000 subs!!!!👍🏻👊🏻😱
Congrats my friend.
LOVE your content!!!
Just got back into photography with an XT-1 and, thanks to your videos, my passion is reignited.
Thank you. 🙏🏻✌🏻
Thanks Chris for this video, i've now put my nikon sb 700 up for sale and purchased this godox with controller a bargain at 134 english pounds. You should be on commision for this 😉 Congratulations also on the growth of the channel, may it continue to grow.
Simon Nicholson Photography awww, thank you Simon!!!! Hey sounds like you got a good price on that! Well done!!!!!!
Thank you very much for your explanation, I know the godox brand is a good flash since I had one but it fell to the ground and broke, I especially like the charger. As soon as I can go to B&H to buy one. Thank you
Well, first time on your channel. Very impressive. I shoot Fuji (X-Pro2, X-T2 and X-T3) so this was a very useful video. I also felt I just HAD to subscribe and help boost your figures, so I did!
Wow!!! Thank you so much!! 🙏 So you have all three huh? Which one is your favorite? I'm assuming the X-T3, but I've heard such great things about the X-Pro2.
Just subscribed to your channel. I enjoyed watching your video. To the point, informative, and not a boring moment. Thanks!
Thanks Shaz!!! I'll need to work on being more boring then!! 😜 Kidding!
If you add the Y-Cable from Goddox to your Power unit ( you connect the 2 connectors to 1 flash . . you have half recycle time ) ( tested with the AD-360 ) .. try it ;-)
New sub thanks for that!! Love your work
Hello!
Thanks for all your great tips!
I look forward to seeing them again and again, especially since I bought the Fuji XT4. And now the question: is this combination good for XT4 as well?
Thanks for the reply!
Max
I still use my dslr Nikon gear for professional stuff, but I just got the xt-4 camera and a couple lenses. But what about flash for basic shots? You answered my question! Great videos and your fun style is great! Still learning this cool fujifilm system but I'll consider this flash unit when the time comes.
Kept wondering why this was happening with my godox. Thanks for the solution!
Any time!
gift time. gotta keep it in my mind forever
Nice video review. I also shoot fujifilm and have been researching flash options. your video was a great help. I subbed and look forward to more videos.
Awesome!! Thank you and I hope you are able to find a great flash setup that helps you.
Hi, only for information: link of battery Pack now on June 10 2021 is dead and no page of Amazon is visible for this product.
However I found it on Amazon Italy in my country (Italy) and I will try it this week end :) Bye
Your videos have crept up into my daily TH-cam routine. Nice work!!! Keep em coming and you will grow. Good content.
And love my Flashpoint products (sorry live near Adorama lol).
Column Wheel Wow! Thank you so much!!! And Adorama ROCKS! I just signed up for their partner program.
pal2tech Congrats my friend. You have the energy in your video’s with humor to boot. So keep on hitting the shutter button to 100k subs. Got my 👁 on you lol.
@@rumporridge1 Thank you so much!!!!!! Please keep in touch for sure!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Get the Godox with the lithium battery not the AA version.
The lithium battery helps for sure. Its not as good as an external pack, but you don't have cords hanging from the camera. I'm curious how the V1 will look and function and if it's that much better than the current set of soeedlites
Hello!! Congrats for your channel!! I hope you are well. Yesterday I bought a Flash Vision2 TTL with its VC-818TX controller. I would like to know how to pair it with Fujifilm XT10 and XT3 cameras. I also have a 14 EXT neewer ring flash that works perfectly with the XT10 and I am very happy with it. Thank you for your help and best regards from Madrid!!
👍Congrats on (now) 600 plus subs. Don’t burn out. Valid points about flash recycle time and power. The trade off, of course, is ergonomics - added weight and bulk. How many and what size batteries does the primary flash unit take?
Hey Paul, the primary flash unit that sits on the camera takes 4 AA batteries. But they don't last long, which is why the battery pack is so helpful.
And thank you by the way!! No burnout to worry about!!!!
Hi, man! Thank you so much for the information. But before I buy, I have a question. It seems like the cable is sold separately, they have cables for Canon/Nikon/Sony/Metz, they never say which cable goes with Fujifilm? Or, is there a universal cable for manual flash tt600? A million thanks in advance!
Ciao,
cosa ne pensi del Nissin i60 su Fujifilm x-h1? Grazie anticipatamente per la tua cortese risposta.
Complimenti per la tua simpatia e competenze. Ciao
Thankd for the helpful info.
Thank you for the info! Love your videos keep em coming!
You got it!!!!
What about small flash godox mini tt 350 f for wedding photography?
Another great tip , keep em coming 👍😀
Thanks, will do!
Hallo!
It's a great Video. Thank you for the Information. Looking your Videos is great👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Sorry, for my bad English!
Best wishes from Germany
Christian
Thank you so much! 🙏 Cheers and best wishes to you and your family!!!
I guess this should work well with XT-30 as well, right? Thanks for the video, it's cool and informative! :)
Thanks!!! Yep, I don't see why it wouldn't...
Hi Chris. Many thanks for your videos. I’m a big Godox fan and use the AD600, AD200 pro, SK400 and TT350 with my Fujifilm XT2 and XT3. Thinking of adding the new V1 when available for Fuji. Question 1. With price not being a consideration would you add another AD200 or V1? Purpose would be for ultra portable location shoots outdoors using 2 lights for main and fill. Question 2. Can the battery pack be used with the AD200?
Doug Richdale Hey Doug! No problem. I’d say the V1 for sure all things being equal. About the battery pack with the AD200, I’m honestly not sure but I believe so. I’d probably confirm with Adorama just to be sure before purchasing. Let me know what you end up doing!
I am a newbie on the X-T30 which one would you recommend with this camera?
Nice video!
Subscribed! Thanks for your energy!
Wow! Thank you Mara!!! You are awesome!!!!!
Awesome SHARE!!!!!!! Been looking for this
Thanks Ray!!!!
you are fun to watch! thanks for sharing daddy experience too!
Thank you so much!!!!!! 😉
thank you for sharing this...i bet ur subscribers will surely rise
Thank you Hasdi!!!
Just checking lead number PB-CX for Fuji? PB-MX for Metz, PB-NX for Nikon. Just thinking PB-FX would be logical for Fuji but CX for Fuji ( and maybe Canon )
That's a good question - I'm actually not entirely sure. If you have the time I'd say test it out but obviously expect that anything could happen!
Love your vids!
Awww... Thank you so much Geovanni!!! Much appreciated sir!!!
Great Video! What’s the BEST onboard flash available for fuji xt3 that works with that power pack?
Thank you for the video
Omg! I really need those!
crazy to think this was when you were at 500 subs. Would you still recommend this flash?
have you had a chance to review or test the Godox V1 flash?
Not just yet, I've been too busy/slammed with so many other videos/products. It's on the list.... just dammit I wish I had more time to get to everything. One day...
Tried to purchase the PB 690 and without going into detail, through an error in purchase, I have been informed that Godox have recalled as potential fire hazard, message from eBay. Hope this helps, DG New Forest U.K. also there is a Li-ion one built in to flash.
Thanks for this video. I have the XT4 and would love to get this setup. I clicked on your link for the TT685 ad it appears that it is no longer available. What can be it's replacement and would work with the battery pack?
Fellow TH-camr here got the XT3 super helpful great video ordered this flash, oh yeah and I'm subscribed😁
Thank you!!!! Hey great channel you have, and I agree with you about the TM2324... I look forward to seeing more of your videos!!!
Great videos. Tight. Very energetic 😄👍
Hey love your videos, especially since you focus on fuji products that not a lot of people do, could you make a video with tips on how to use the flash and battery together with the trigger.
Hey Ric, thanks! Yes, I'll be doing that for sure. I've gotten a lot of requests for it, so it's in the works for sure. Godox/XT2/XT3 usage and setup.
@@pal2tech sounds great can't wait
Agree with Ric but would request that you look at two or three off-camera Godox flashes operating from one battery. Are there splitter cables and, if so, how long are they? Thanks, enjoy your vids. Please stay with fuji product. ~ Jack@@pal2tech
4:54 did you just throw your camera ? lmao..
I probably did. I certainly wouldn't put it past me to do something silly like that!
lol
Great stuff! Just got a xpro2 wanting to start with off camera flash. Do these units work with x pro 2 also? Thanks
Thanks for that flash demo, looks good with the battery pack. I've got the the Fuji EX500 and it is not the best flash I have ever had, compared to my Canon speed lights. I must hunt down a Godox.
Hey Denis! Yeah, I was surprised at how fast/on-target it is considering the price. Usually I have trouble with 3rd party flash units, but Godox seems (at least for now) to have gotten their compatibility with Fujifilm X cameras on track.
@@pal2tech Hi again which model were you using in the demo. ?
@@denisbrady2671 The flash was the TT685F and the battery pack was the Godox PROPAC PB960. I have some links in the description that go to the exact models I own/use.
Hi! Congrats on the video and the channel, great stuff!
I watch this vid and i was thinking if you know any ring flash that really works on the x-t3?
Thanks in advance!
Hey there Hugo. First off, thank you!!! I really appreciate the kind words! 🙏 About the flash ring, you're gonna not believe this, but I've never tested on out before. I'm not entirely sure. Hopefully someone on there can point you in the right direction. In the meantime, I'll keep my eyes open for them and if I hear of any particularly good units, I'll update here and let you know.
Excellent video. thank you.
Hey Pedro!!! Thank you so much!!! 🙏.
If you buy the suggested extra power supply etc, then the LiPo battery based and higher quality (?) V860II-F is cheaper (~$170 instead of ~$230 without any super discounts). Is the V860II-F comparably fast? Is it a better long deal if you got the cash on hand?
Dude you pressed the shutter speed slowly and in a consistent way with the battery pack and when you disconnected it you began to erratically press the shutter button.
This is really good value for $$$. I realize that Nikon and Canon branded flashes are superior in features and capabilities but , dang they cost mucho dinero and are still probably infrared wireless as well. My first Nikon speed light cost me over $300 back in 2008 and later I bought a used upgraded unit for $200 that had sold new for $600 (thanks Ebay). Heck , even their cables cost me my left tes***le ! I aim to look into one or more of these Godox units and see what they can do because you can only push ISO so far and shooting wide open isn't always useful.
Which would you buy, a Godox V1 or a Godox TT685F + PB960/PBCX combo? TIA.
Rich Time, Love it.
