8 Things to Consider BEFORE buying Strobes or Speedlights for FLASH Photography
This Is not a video about Flash recommendations but rather a guide for you to be able to purchase wisely. So I will not be mentioning any particular brands in this video nor will I be making purchasing advice.
However if you want to know my lighting gear you can check out this video: • My go-to OFF-CAMERA FL...
So here are the 8 things to consider before buying a Studio Strobe or Speedlight:
#1 What will you be shooting?
#2 Do you need it to be portable? With Battery or Without?
#3 How much power do you need?
#4 Wireless control or not (built in receiver)
#5 Manual or TTL better yet HSS capable or Not
#6 Consistency of Power and Color
#7 Warranty
#8 Budget

Just something about me…
Since prior to my entry into the wedding industry, I have been considered to be one of the most reputable lighting specialists in the Philippines, conducting workshops nationwide and have been featured in various photography magazines. I was also a multi-awarded portrait and advertising photographer.
My expertise is in manipulating ambient and artificial light to create clean and classic photographs which naturally led me to the genre of portrait and wedding photography. Since then, I have shot numerous weddings locally and overseas exhibiting my signature style.

Interesting that the cheaper flashes can have issues with the consistency of color depending on the power you're shooting at. Thank you for mentioning that.

Hi Jiggie. Great video. But If anyone plan to spend big on camera and lens, than no need to go for budget speedlights. And today all brand speedlights comes with wireless function, either basic or advance. TTL is meaningless if everyone teaching about Manual settings and Take control of yr flash. And no worry about warranty if you buy many of cheaper speedlights.

The irony there is why buy cheap lights if you will spend big on cameras and lenses. Spend big too on quality lights. I still use TTL from time to time. But HSS is a more important feature for me
sir jiggie, you look like a doctor/prof/pro-photog at the same time! Great video :)

yeah hahaha but great tips though. but i think another consideration that's worth putting up should be about lighting kits and studio space concerns lol right now, i'm slowly investing in portables, stands, and modifiers. phase by phase i suppose

Perfect advice. I have One godox pro trigger TTL/manual unit, CAMERA compatible TTL/manuall flash and 2 manual flash units. Manual have one hotshoe contact points, compared to 5 in TTL. All recent godox flash units have built-in receiver. I didn't buy Lithium battery powered but enloop black rechargeable battery external battery.

Hi Jiggie, Been using speedlights and I would like to start looking into strobes. This video is very timely. I would like to ask, in your experience in portrait photography, what's the minimum power output do you recommend for strobes? Thanks.
@JiggieAlejandrino

Since you already have Speedlight’s, maybe you can consider getting strobes in the 200-500ws range
