Your advice is excellent and concise, and your eyes pierce the innermost depths of my soul

[amdenis]

So well explained— love how you built up the staged complexity, while stating trade-offs.

[MDMiller]

You've got a good Slanted sense of humor. I like it.

[JessicaGarcia-nqbs]

I just wanted to let you know how much this video helped me. Thank you so much!

[josephchan]

Good refresher course. Have to watch more of your work.

i wish there were links to these cables. Not sure what they are all called, and links would make it so much easier.

[Dragonmaster]

God bless your soul. Thank you sir ! ❤

Some older flash units use the micro (cell phone) plug, as well, and it can be very hard to find adaptors to mate them with minis or 1/4 inch lines. One way is to use a cable and a plug-in slave, which can be positioned to "see" where the on-unit slave cannot. There are also hub-type adaptors for sync cords - 1 in, 3 out, etc., which can be useful, especially if you have a gender matching problem in your cables. And the older Edison lines are great as intermediaries - when you need longer runs of cable, you can use a household extension cord between the camera sync and the strobe sync cords. And its stronger, so it weathers handling better.

What if my camera (Canon 80D) doesn't have a cable attachment and does not recognizes the Neewer trigger I bought?

Been using Pocket Wizard for years. Just make sure to turn them off when done with the shoot. I sometimes forget so I always bring extra batteries. I always bring a cord in my bag for a backup in case the Pocket Wizards fail.

light bulb. Lol thank you for explaining this so clearly!!!

I have an old Novatron 500 VR with 3 strobes. What kind of radio transmitter do you recommend with a Cannon7D? I'm a total novice at strobe lighting, I'm a little bit lost.

I bought a 30' hotshot cord, I love It!

[MrJohnblaine]

Thank you so much. This makes it simple for me to understand.

will you make a video showing how you attach the grip to the end of the bar? and which end of the bar do you attach the grip to?

[skylight.studio]

Is it possible to use the cable for strobe 1, and a set of radioflash for strobe 2? Would the two strobes fire toghether?

[TheZ]

I wondering if the strobe has hss and ttl and I use a trigger on the camera and receiver with a sync cable would it still be able to use the hss and ttl on the strobe?

[caroldavis]

Any idea how to set up two lights of the same brand, but not set each other off? I've tried using the flash but it still sets both off. I need the 2nd photog to set her strobe off and me just set mine off. Neewer 400 and 300. Yes - Ive tried different channels.

[oeildelynx]
