Same here. Been running b1s and b4 and a single d1 here. So modeling light is a bit restricted. Will get a pair of d2 when they arrive.

totally agree. Power rang on d1 is a bit limiting particularly the 4.0.... Simply too much light sometimes. That said I don't mind it as an extra light.

“the worse part is that this camera will be around for at least 4 years...”

I can't agree more. Canon has disappointed once again (5ds)...and again(now5d4)...

The 7-10 setting above x-sync doesn't equal to the power output of 7-10 below x-sync. When above x-sync, every doubling of shutter speed results half of the actual power output. So you can take ...

Profoto bugs could lead to this...happened to me all the time. Sometimes works sometimes doesn't.

Comment of the day! Haha

I prefer to draw my lightstaber instead.

Rio olympics is a joke. Feel sorry for those athletes who have to attend it. Theft and robberies are everywhere NOT just the above mentioned a few instances. There should be huge signs and...

When they can't access your valuables they then cut it, when it's all too hard they just rob you with a knife...

Exactly. 360 is a specialty camera and certainly not for everyone. How many people would look at the google street view and call it impressive? This hype will soon fade I am sorry.

just go direct flash for traveling it may give a fun look

I have used it with original beauty dish as well as 1x6 rfi softbox as top light without any problems. I really have a like and hate feeling towards b2's chord/pack system.

Its orange.

Deep and shallow are marketing terms used by Profoto umbrellas I believe and they are not true parabolic umbrellas therefore yes there are spreads..there's no perfect scenario.

It comes down to physics. Think about your garden hose, different "mode" will produce different water spread. Light works in a similar fashion. The depth and shape of a modifier will have a huge ...

I have both 1dx and 5dmk3. After shooting with both for a while I much preferred the 1dx and no longer needed the 5dmk3. Pros: 1. The file from 1dx is better, solid image. Shot both in same ...

You may get ghosting when trying to freeze action using two or more different flash durations. Just make sure the slowest light is fast enough to freeze action to avoid ghosting.

Profoto seems to dominate the market still

For freezing action sports (surfing) stuff forget about the b1 who will get you a few frames at most at HSS and energy setting 7.0. That's really weak for a distance! Just work with natural light ...

Go b1s with magnum reflector. Your best outdoor option. Have human stands or to hold regular stands to point lights at the right direction. You want hard punchy light for beach.
