Flash Sync Speed Cheaters Anonymous

8 at 1/4 power

yowzer. I'd get away from this kind of thinking.

The Adorama version of Goxox 360 sold for $310 with everything you need over the holidays, and is currently selling for 400, i think. As TeamSpeed said, a more powerful flash will get you what you want, much easier. One battery can power two 360 flashes, not that you'd want to do it that way, but you could. 2 360s equal 8 speedlights.

You can also use Supersync! You have to set your speedlights to full power to have a long time while the flash bulb is emitting the light. Then your camera curtain is faster then the flash-time. Contra: You have to set the flash to full power. Pro: You can go up to 1/4000s or more.

I did tests with my Canon 6D and 4 YN560III speedlights. Here is an example:

And if you use the YN622TX, you can actually adjust the timing to tell the YN622Cs when to fire the strobes/flashes for HSS. This allows you to dial in when the flash goes in relation to your shutter so that you don't get gradients, or at least greatly reduce them.

How exactly do you that?

That's wrong. With the YN622C-TX you can adjust only the timing for Supersync, not for HSS. Supersync != HSS.

It tried it with the YN622C-TX and adjusted the Supersync timings for my YN560III. You only can setup a delay so in my case this feature is useless.

Supersync requires HSS to be active, so I fail to see the difference. There are several posts and reviews that describe how to do this with the streaklight for example. Perhaps it is different with strobes vs the yn flashes.

In general HSS means that the speedlights using multiple short flashes to emit the full sensor during the exposing. Because the flash time is shorter than the curtain moves the speedlight has to fire multiple flashes to expose the full sensor. This require a speedlight with HSS.

In Supersync you can use every manual speedlight as long it has a long flash duration. This means you increase the power of the flash until it reaches a longer flash time than the curtain requires to move across the sensor. So basically in Supersync your speedlight acts as a permanent light source. And you are cutting off the flash power.

But if you mean, you have to set the Yongnuo transmitters to HSS to enable Supersync, you are right. But HSS and Supersync are different techniques.

I just like how I can make better use of my new streak lights using HSS and supersync on the tx over just using the 622 transceiverstransceive​rs by adjusting the timing of the signal, however it is technically done.
