Such amazing images Scott. I am curious would you be able to shoot these with the CL 360 as the key? Or are you using way more power then what 1 CL 360 would put out.
thanks


Way too much stuff:p

I can shoot all my images with 2 v850 in the harsh sun. The only thing that changes is how close I have to bring in the light and how to place them.


I can use the 360 as the main, shooting the 600 at half power gives me 1 sec recycle time. I can move in closer and use less power, but that effects the framing. I hate having light stands in my shots and having to clone them out. The last image in white was shot at 7:15pm was only shooting at about 1/8th power. This shoot ran from 2pm till 10pm and I still had power left over.

So, while you keep producing images with this pack, I am curious as to when the completed pack+head is expected to hit the market for the rest of us?

I am getting impatient :)

It should be late July or begin of August. It will be a new improved version, then the ones I've been testing. Edward at cheetah stand has been giving all my feedback back to Godox to make sure its a better product.

I can't wait. Although I was hoping it would be sooner than later - I'm just that selfish and impatient. :) Ive only got the summer to play man!

Great video Scott. Thanks for posting. Would you have an ambient only image to compare with the flash a flash image?

BTW, how in the hell can she not squint in the sunny conditions? Amazing.

That's going to cost yea Ralph, you can take my one on one workshop. LOL There is one in the video.

She did a lot of squinting the sun was straight in her face on the gas station shots.

getting ready to place my order.

I only have a couple of qboxes right now so if i am ordering a couple of 360s, a Cheetah BD, or octa, do i need an adapter to mount them (BD, Octa, and Qbox) to the new bracket?

or is it ready to go?

Are you asking about the 360's or the cl-600?

oops, posted to the wrong thread. yeah the 360.

do you have a favorite cheetah dish/box? I watched your video the other day that said you prefer the punchy silver over the white. but i can't remember if you said one shape was preferred over the other.

will watch that above vid now.

i get the difference in the units, my main concern/question is box/BD connection to the new bracket.

i'm clueless.

seems they would go together no problem. but the site wants me to pic an adapter.
