A New Bare Bulb Flash Arrives

No one said godox anything

I was not wanting to release the info yet, but again you jump to conclusions of who the original producer is.

Those are 3w each cree leds bulbs, so before you say is it cree the original producer the answer is no. Just because the parts have labels on them only shows what parts are used in making it work. You might want to check the pm a few months back when you asked about building your modeling light to me and maybe you will know who original producer is.

Due to the redesign of POTN I can't read PM that far back. I find this a good initiative and a lot of owners of this great bare-bulb flash will be certainly pleased that now, a posing light is possible in the near future.

Looking at the cable that is connecting to the battery-pack I suggest to use a angled power plug instead of straight one to protect the socket used also for charging the battery pack.

Ordered the AD360 last night under the Streaklight brand. Anyone have experience with Adorama's rebrand vs. Cheetah's warranty? Hoping things go smoothly as I read things about batteries crapping out.

Also, what's the best way to get HSS out of the CL/AD360's? Yongnuo YN-622C-TX with YN622C?

Every 180/360 flash that don't carry the Godox brand is a rebranded one. The batteries problem should now be solved.

Edit: however CheetahStand has helped Godox with developing this flash so they earn some credits too.

works fine, but the TX does not have the reliability over distance that the regular 622 can muster.

Did this fix that?

"Since the original YN-622C-TX were released they have unfortunately suffered from range limitations of around half that of the standard YN-622C transceivers.

So the YN-662C-TX have now received a revised printed circuit board design which should reportedly resolve this issue. As well as providing improved stability again."

I heard the yongnuos work better than the Godox triggers for HSS. Is this true?

I have both YN622C and Godox's Cells ii C triggers. Godox works better, 1/3 stop more light, plus it integrates with the FT-16 receiver.

Would you happen to also have the YN622C-TX and can offer your experience using that vs the other two triggers?

Sorry, don't have the TX to compare with unfortunately. But my assumption is that it probably be no different than 622C unit on shoe.

I have yn-622c and the yn-622tx as well as the godox cells IIc they all work just fine with the godox units at HSS. If your going all Godox/manual flashes then I would use the cells II. If your using other brands and are going to use ETTL then the Yn-622 units are what your going to want to use.

Canon
ETTL yn-622
Manual Cells II

Nikon user Yn-622N
Cells IIn is not compatible with all Nikon models ;(

Forgive my ignorance, but power output of 6w doesn't seem like much. I assume this is for indoor work?

You don't need much inside to see how the light falls or need extra light to focus. The power output is a bit higher and over 8Watts.

Yep it for dark shooting on location or studio
6w=75watt light bulb

The new one will have a 10w =100watt bulb

Can the modeling light be used without the dome diffuser? I think it would be nice if there was a ring diffuser on the LEDs only and the AD360 for example could still be bare bulb. That way you do not change output with existing modifiers.

maybe.

i haven't seen any reports that it's the same as the basic 622, but i haven't been looking. Reports they were working on a fix stretch back to last summer. Then there's the issue of clearing out old stock: https://photography-on-the.net …showthread.php?​p=17495033

New CheetahStand 12" 30.48cm 140°

This 140 degree reflector gives you a super wide angle of coverage like an umbrella while still controlling light spill. A great reflector for illuminating a background or for any application where you need to cover a wide area with light.

*Designed to fit flash heads with and Bowens S-Type mount
*Wide-spread illumination, ideal for lighting backgrounds and fill
*Gives you more control over light direction than using bare bulb
*Less likely to get flare or light spillage than using bare bulb
