A New Bare Bulb Flash Arrives

Same RF triggers as Annie?

Shall we wait on Annie to test it before we write internet full with all kind of texts.

Thanks everyone. I can't test it tonight but I'll try soon. I have Pocket Wizard triggers (I read the linked article) - does anyone think using them might help? No need to answer - I'll try out all the options! Only thing is I don't have any method of connecting TWO cables to the camera. What do I need to be able to do that?

I didn't know what triggers Annie had until she mentioned them in post 6333. No i use the yn622tx in my hot shoe and a 622 on each of the lights.

I have a CL-Tx Pro coming so I can test to see if it will work to fire multiple lights when connected to the Pixel King receiver via the PC cable.

Did you get this to work correctly? I tried it with the A7II, A7rII Odin TX/RX and could not get it to work even with an dedicated Sony hotshoe adapter.

Big question is,
do their E-TTL mode is as accurate as Quantum Q-TTL ?

But it is the CAMERA which controls the accuracy/inaccuracy of ETTL flash output, and NOT the flash!

My Metz flash on TTL is more reliable than ETTL too..the TTL camera is responsible for that. But the same Metz flash on ETTL is subject to the unreliable exposure of ETTL...the ETTL camera is at fault for that!

My edit log says Text added (.the TTL camera is responsible for that.) and Text deleted. (and not the location of the exclamation mark)

It did work.
I forgot about this post. Sorry for the delay.

Annie I use a jubilee clip to hold the belt clip to the base of the stand. Nice and tight.

Hi I wish to use HSS at (relatively) long range. I have a D700, Cells II trigger, and the AD180. The purpose of this would be to provide fill light where the subject is heavily backlit (example shot below), but it is not possible to place the lights any closer to the subject.

This one is shot with an 85, at about 21 feet. The flash is just making it, although due to my handholding the flash, seems I didn't point it exactly the right direction! leading to falloff near his face which is arguably the key point of interest. Pretty sure this was shot at full power; 1/6400 F2.5. As this is the kind of composition that I would like, I'm thinking what if I shot it on a 400? But then probably the subject distance is more like 100 feet, if the same compo is maintained.

I've read Greg Dunn's comment on the Quantum Tele reflector, and the associated trouble with the lamp extender. So my only other alternative is a Better Beamer style fresnel.

Does anyone have any experience with these - either the QF63 or the BB?

You can't never go precise with Godox Wistro

I suggesy you get Quantum,
In Q-TTL or Auto mode,
Quantum can be defined by distance and will deny subject outside that range
Why am I suggest this, because your subject is moving, you need a fast and deadly lock on exposure for your quick moving target

And that's why Quantum system were made for that purpose

TTL and Auto don't work with HSS though, right? HSS is essentially manual exposure. Unless I'm missing something

Rand. Since you have more experience with this technique, which do you prefer for HSS long range? The Quantum Tele reflector, or the Better Beamer? How about those two combined? I appreciate a larger fresnel lens would be needed, say an A4.
