Lets See Your OCF HSS Outdoor Portraiture.

HSS works fine on the Sony mirror less. I can use a Nissan, Godox, Sony Adormam Rovelight, etc. They obliviously need the correct trigger in each case.

What trigger ?

What trigger ?

Any trigger that supports ETTL on a Sony hot shoe.
The one I use with A7RII and A7II is the Pixel King. It has the older style hotshoe that is proprietary to Sony so its also necessary to get an adapter for the newer version that is ISO based.

With it I can do H mode shooting with Cheetah, Rovelight, and any other strobe with sufficiently long flash duration or the 50Khz rapid strobing.

Phottix Odin is another one people have used. It has ability to adjust the FP-Sync timing to optimize the tail of the flash duration.

I use the Phottix Odin but if I didn't already have it I might have the Pixel King as it is a less expensive option.

Awesome shots everyone!

My humble contribution...

Thank you its flare added in post

Sun for rim and rovelight 600B for main

Joey, really liking your stuff! I tracked some of it on Flickr so cool to see it here. I especially like the use of one light as I'm one to try and get away with natural light so the idea of a single monolight and a modifier is music to my ears.

I picked up a flashpoint Rovelight on the cheap. Wondering if you -- or anyone! -- could offer a suggestion as to what a comparable modifier would be to what you're using? Thanks so much

I used Flashpoint RL600B which supports HSS (but not with original trigger)
Since I use Sony. I had to buy Pixel King trigger set for Sony which using the old hotshoe style.
So i had to buy the adapter to mount the transmitter to standard hotshoe on the Sony A7.
It's a but clunky, but it works.

What hotshoe adapter did you buy for your Pixel Kings? Have a link? I'm in the same boat as you. New a7RII & Rovelight 600B which I used to trigger with Yongnuo 622's on my Canon 6D. Does the hypersync (HSS) seem to work well? Also, do you use any speedlights with your A7 and do you need to use the hotshoe adapter if you mount them on the a7 for bounce flash? The a7 series is new to me and I use OCF quite a bit.

I found these two: Which one do I get, The one with the metal hotshoe or the all black? What's the difference?

Not to nitpick but you use HSS and hypersync interchangably and they very different things. HSS uses a pulsing light source like a speedlite. Hypersync uses a timing hack to take advantage of the long tail burn of a strobe.

Yes, I'm aware of the difference. The Rovelight does hypersync. I just put that in there to get the point across that I am basically trying to shoot above sync speed. My bad.

I have this one

You only need one for the transmitter.
For receiver, use PC to 3.5 jack.
I can confirm that this config works for both Flashpoint RL600 and Godox AD360 (I have v1)

First off, I love your work Joey, So beautiful!

Not sure if this has been asked yet. Is there a way to use the Rovelight w/ the Sony A7 bodies? If not are there any current Strobes + HSS for the Sony system yet?*


*edit. So far Ive read on Flash Havok, the upcoming Godox AD600 will be avail for Sony system sometime in Mar 2016.

*edit2 Sorry I should've read a few posts up to dmward's post.

This may be a dumb question but when setting up these shots, are you just exposing for how you want background and then adjusting your lights as needed? Are any of you using meters? I'm struggling to understand how I can get what I'm looking for with as little guessing as possible. I don't know why hss has led me to forget how to take photos.....
