Good point, but you also wind up with weaker flash bursts. So I guess it depends on the situation. If I was shooting closer up small birds with am extension tube on that may be sufficient, but then again, I have never actually tried it. Have you used HSS with a better beamer?

I have tried using HSS with a Better Beamer while shooting eagles at about 40 yds. (trying to get fill-flash, as they're perched under some branches), and it didn't work properly. I had to revert to 1/250, and use a tripod.
However, it 'perhaps' would work at a closer distance. I've never tried it at a closer distance.
