Very informative video and I enjoyed it. Just one question left unanswered though. I'm looking for 300 series light just for indoors portraits. I'm not interested in HSS but I would like to be able to use a Nikon FM2 at 1/250th second shutter speed to control ambient light for film portraits. The camera will synch at that speed but will the light? Will all or any of these support that?

Thorough Info... Thanks! Just 1 question though - Does this studio strobe have an auto-dump feature? [e.g. auto-discharging the capacitor when changing from a higher power to a lower power]

Thanks for this video. Between the Godox De300 and the Ms300 which would you recommend? I'm having a hard time deciding

Hi! thanks for this video! full of info. I have a doubt about qualitys and series, I have the QTII series (600w) but I feel that I dont use all functions to much like super speed shots to freeze action or the mask function that includes. Im series thinking to sell it and downgrade to the new DPIII series, the difference that I will note between these 2 series lights accord to my use (because never use in HSS mode or mask mode) its basically the stops (1/64 vs 1/128) the weight and size, the flash dumping when change power and the little advantage in recycle time (0.9 sec vs 1.0 sec almost nothing) so well I want to know if you recomend this flash against the QT600II or if you can tell me another difference that I will note? I use it for portrait and fashion work. I dont shoot fast motion shots, even never use it the multi mode LOL! well hope you can resolve my doubt. Thanks!

Hey, great video thanks ! Do you know if the any of these (especially the DP iii) are compatible with the trigger Neewer NT1 (s) ? And could I attach my softbox Godox SB-UE 80cm to it ? Thanks a lot!! :)

Great video. I have one question. if the power output of the flash light said 400W, is same with the power consumption also 400W?

Question: are they getting hot/warm after a lot of shots? Im doing macro photography and making sometimes more as 200 shots in a stack. Is it getting hot/warm then?

I am doing water drop / water collision photography. Currently I am using a couple of speedlites however, I am still getting some motion blur. Is there a Strobe that you would suggest and why thanks

Thank you!

Great ... 🤙

Do these flashes all work with X2T for TTL? I see most places said none of them support TTL. Does QSII has better light quality than DPIII serial? Thanks.

Still confused to buy ms 300 or sk 300ii, or just waiting a new one maybe in 2021 and i feel it will happen,which you recomended?

Great video. Thanks so much. Please I need a favor, Godox Ms300, Ds300/400, SK300ii/400ii and De300/400 which one should I go for it. Because I'm a little bit confused. Kindly Choose one for me.

Im going to do food photography on restaurants. And i think the MS300 is a more than good option. But i do have a question Is it compatible with the 80x80 tulip square by godox ? is there a way to make it compatible. I know there are other bowens mount, but being collapsible is always better .

Hi, I currently have 3 different Yongnuo Speedlight Flashes with remote triggers. I'm realizing that they do not produce enough power in some situation, and they don't offer strobes. I see you have similar Speedlights, and many more options. I'm trying to figure out which would be best for me. I want them to be powerful, portable (battery powered, or ideally either battery or AC when I'm in my home studio) and easily attach a variety of modifiers. I can't quite figure out the differences between all the product lines, AD, QT, SK, AR, etc. I have Nikon cameras, and trying to figure out what option I should invest in

Great presentation thanks but why no mention of modelling lamps? Are they LED or tungsten? At 150 watts I assume tungsten with the associated heat and power draw.

It's such a confusing line up with so many options. Great video!!! Thanks!

Hello good morning, I follow you on KZread and now on Instagram. congratulations I appeal your excellent content. I have a question regarding studio flashes, I would like to know if you can help me. I already have an AD400PRO that I use to do my jobs and I would like to add two more flashes. I'm considering choosing the QS400II or SK400II but in the reviews I see that the maximum sync speed is 1/2000 against 1/8000 of the AD400PRO. many of the photos I take are at 1/3200 speeds. my question is, if i use the QS4000II or SK400II will i be really limited to a maximum speed of 1/2000?

Hi, thanks for the great comparison. I have one question. I have a 120cm octabox for portraits which is quite heavy and think about buying the MS 300 or SKII 400. So, how about the screws, do they hold bigger, heavier softboxes in certain angles? Thanks in advance.

We'd suggest to go with the SK400II rather than the MS300 if you're planning to mount a larger and heavier softbox. Although the MS300 is more compact, it may not hold the weight of larger softboxes depending on which one you use.

You won't be able to use a strobe as a continuous light as strobe lights will only flash when you trigger it to when you take a photo on a camera. If you want an option for both videography and photography, a continuous light can do both.

I am currently using the AD Pro model and they are very week in modeling lights, they are not helping me to decide especially when shooting Glossy products.

They're 2 different flashes as the QT600IIM is a traditional fresnel flash whereas the FV200 is an LED flash. If you'll be dabbling in a bit of video the FV200 is a good versatile light that will work for stills and videos. The downside is it's nowhere near the same output as the QT600IIM. The QT600IIM is strictly a studio flash.

Does the Godox Sk400ii connect wirelessly to nikon D5600 and D850? I'm new to external flashes and am attempting to learn which lights are best for my small shooting space. I shoot fashion editorials and actors' headshots. Does the Godox Sk400ii need to be plugged into an outlet or can it be used outside as well?

For that I would need such a flash that also has a modeling light usable also for video. Which one do you recommend?

You may want to take a look at hybrid LED lights such as the Godox FV150 / FV200 that function as a continuous light for video and flash for photography. The LED flash doesn't compare to a standard xenon flash's output but with HSS it may suit your type of photography.

@@photo-markus PS- the 'HSS' of the FV series kinda sucks. The flash duration of the FVs is actually longer than 1/200s at full power, meaning you can't freeze particularly fast action and that effective power output decreases rapidly as your shutter speed increases. They're still probably your best option for an all-in-one unit but you should know the limitations going in.

Go for a larger octagon softbox if you have space, like the 120cm octagon softbox. If you're mostly indoors then the SK400II is a great starting point moving from speedlites, otherwise if you're after a light that can be used outdoors too take a look at the Godox AD300Pro / Godox AD400Pro.
