How To Sync Studio Strobe Lights With Your Camera | Strobe Lighting Part 2

In this video, we'll teach you the camera settings, trigger options, and flash settings you'll use to get your camera and flash in sync! We also answer the questions: Do you need a DSLR or mirrorless camera? Does your camera have a sync port or a hot shoe? Do you need a wire to sync, or can you use a wireless sync system and remote trigger? How do you know when your camera is synced to your strobe light? What is the difference between TTL and manual? What is HSS?

Is this your first time using studio strobes, or are you just looking for a refresher?

[thomasgrahamdavies]

This has been a great help to a struggler like me. Many Thanks.

[DodgerBlacc]

Helpful, thanks bro. I came to learn about shooting with high apertures. Almost bought a strobe that didn't have HSS

I want to connect 4 godox lights to my canon do I need the remote transmitter with the screen or can I get away with the cheaper one with no screen?

hey, at 3:07, you forgot the Leaf shutter guys who shoot MF and LF cameras!!, they can shoot up to 1/500 or 1/800th of a second or more, as the leaves open fully, then close, so no 'curtain' in the shot.

I have a Godox SK400ii Strobe and need a syncing cord to connect to a Fujifilm Camera. The Impact16' cord from B&H doesn't work. It fits into the strobe fine but the other end is the problem. I tried a hot shoe adapter that has a port, but the one recommended simply doesn't fit. At this point, I'm confused as to what connectors will actually work. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I’m wondering if you could help me. I’ve just bought the Godox SK400II and I have a Canon EOS M50 camera. I bought a cable to connect them but I still can’t seem to sync them? Do I need a specific setting in my camera to do this? Or do I just have the wrong type of camera? Thanks!

Good refresher course and I am always trying to learn more.

How can I sync my Godox ad100 with my godox xpro on my lumix g7? Having some issues

[JaceND]

What about if you just want to connect the light directly to the camera

[tammyjuckiewicz]

Please make more videos you are amazing at explaining things!! Thank you

[myriamquenneville]

Hello! Great video, thanks a lot!! You say that motion blur is possible only if the shutter speed is slow enough. How slow would it have to be to create motion blur with a flash (I thought a flash would freeze the image in any way!).

[blendermasterclass]

would nikon d500 synch with this then ??

[cowboyslife]

How can I sync a monolight flash strobe to my nikon camera? What is the name of the sync cord?

[sportturismo_s]

Why does TTL on my remote not work with my Sony camera? The strobe works with manual mode but not with TTL mode

[existeportrait]

How do you deal with nikon D5100 and D3200, I've the same sync cable but there is nowhere I can plug it in my camera 😭

[mommybraceface]

How could I sync my Nikon d3400 with strobes?

[burhanaltncan]

In the thumbnail it looks like you attached the strobe to the camera with some sort of bracket.

Grateful for these videos! (Please turn down the music - sounds too much like beer cans being fed through a wood chipper to my aging ears.)
