Hey good stuff! Just so you know, your C-stand knuckle is backwards for the first half of the video, you always want to make sure the weight is pulling clockwise on the handle if you're facing it so the stand will tighten itself instead of loosening.

Cool vid. The reason you're misfiring is that you were trying to shoot too fast on full power. From 1/2 power onward the recycle time slows down a bit and at full power you can't shoot very fast or you WILL get misfires. At full power the strobe takes the longest to recycle. Basically, whenever you're shooting at full power you need to slow your shooting down a little to avoid misfires. I usually keep the Beep on so when it sounds off I know I can take another shot.

The idea is to remove ambient light from reaching the sensor with your camera settings, not actually turn off all ambient lights. A scenario where you’d turn off the actual lights in the studio would be if you were using constant lights and not strobe
