My man, this is a great video on using OCF for beginners/budget setups. But you could get a Godox V1 + flash trigger for less than $300. You could get a whole ass Amaran 300C for less than $600. There's absolutely no reason to spend $900 on a speedlite lol

I run the Godox V1 and AD100 on most shoots but I've used the Profoto a few times now and the light quality is different. Especially when it comes to editing. The profoto just has a cleaner and more consistent look, but for me is wasn't enough difference to justify the cost difference. My gear is in and out of a motorcycle. It gets bashed around quite a bit and it makes more sense to replace the Godox at it's price (which I still haven't needed to do yet) instead of the Profoto.

Yeah godox is much cheaper and the final result is kinda the same. The thing is, working with big brands requires consistency. A Godox V1 is not reliable, it breaks easily compared to a Profoto. A professional photographer can't take that change.

This is the exact type of set up I used back in my Night Club photography days (2012 - 2016). At the time, I used Nikon camera with speedlight and my Cactus V5 Transceivers. I had my camera in my right hand and the flash in my other hand. This method made my photos pop and made me stand out then the regular Nightclub photographer's with the flash mounted on top of the camera.

These flashes are great - but - the Good V1 is as good at a fraction of the price - you could buy 4 Godox units for the price of 1 Profoto! Sold all my Profoto equipment just for that reason - and I have never regretted it!

​@@gablebrandonyep. I have the v860iii which is the same flash just rectanglular instead of round head, and it's worked great. I'm not a pro, but I know plenty of pros use godox for events and weddings. For $1000 with godox you could literally get a kit from b and h that's 2x ad100w, an ad300pro, three light stands, a couple cheap modifiers and a case. That's like an entire 3 light set up for the price of one flash.

yes, this. I've been PRO for almost 20 years shooting events and portraits. Profoto is great for many things but it's not what the small, independent creators should be using. Godox (of Flashpoint from Adorama) is 99% the same thing for a 25% the price.

this is such a good and useful content for us on a budget man, THANK YOU

could you do more BTS with flash photoshoots? like light placements etc.

Great video, this video came at the perfect timing for me!

Great video! Flash / lighting is def one of the best "Investments" you can make into yourself and your kit.

I have the godox v1 and will definitely be experimenting with how you used it off camera! So far it's been great on camera for covering events and providing a high key look but for outdoor daytime shoots and giving a commercial look, I wonder if the quality of light is good enough 🤔

Goated video bro, love your works! Also you were working alongside Divison? thats amazing

I would totally buy your sound effects and risers! Great great edit overall!

Studio backdrop is looking lit brother ✨

I use the v1. It never fails me. But i guess the profoto is amazing as it should be for the money. One remark on your video.. if you clip on the diffuser and use it outside. It is not gonna be softer. Its only gonna cut of the light out put.

There is no way someone is going to pay $1000 for a speed light. The V1 does the job just as well for $200

Spot on with the lighting techniques will def affect final output. Expensive camera bodies only fastens photo capture these days. I use my original Canon EOS M plus some Nikkors and two AD200, banger shots. Clients really don't know if it was shot in an old DSLR or new mirrorless camera. Color, lighting and composition matters to them.

Two ad300s and a v1 are in my ‘mobile kit’ along with my gfx. Shaping artificial light with practicals is what the actual art of commercial photography is

Great Video

your photos are on firee!! can u do a tutorial video on how to color grade

This stuff is gold. Worth mentioning the godox but if you’re getting paid may as well go with the pro level one

Hey man great tutorial! Makes me inspired to use flash with my Nikon F80. I wanna ask what trigger did you use for your Nikon F100?

bro, we nedd to see you setup studio, vibe>>>

Hello sir @GakuLange. what is your export settings for youtube videos. I shoot with a7siii 422 10 bit. what export settings should i use so that i get crisp videos for youtube. Waiting for a reply. Thank you.

I’ve picked up the godox AD200 Pro which is 200w/s vs 76w/s it’s more than twice as powerful and 1/3 the cost of the A10. But it’s not a speed light so you’ll always need a stand or spare hand. Some Profoto and Godox lights are basically the same, I’ve also used my godox trigger to trigger Profoto lights. The guy who ran the studio I was renting told me they’re sort of the same company but different distributors. The other caveat being the Godox warranty is not based in the UK so getting things sent off and fixed is more of a pain.

good stuff

I would be really curious to see anything empirical that supports Godox flashes having measurably different results compared to Profoto lights. Not sure what the need is for a $1k speedlite. You could get an AD400 + trigger for less than that and fight the sun pretty hard

Hey, What lens did you use for that shoot

Bro, big fan of yours BIG FAN. But the Godox V1 does the job for a fraction of the price, most photographers aren’t at the point where they’d want to spend 1k on a speed light. Also tbh there’s only one speed light really worth over $500 and that ain’t it. The v1 pro is at 320 and it’s the for the win

Bro is a netflix robot 😍

I can't seem to find any material that speaks to the differences between this on the Godox V1 - any insights? There has to be something for it to be worth 5 times the price.

Great tips but for the job godox lights are good value for money

What is the best, A10 or A2 ? :)

Got lots of money? buy profoto, super good stuff. Not super rich? Get godox, will do the job and then some, incredible stuff, the V1 is a exact copy of this and its amazing.

This small Profoto flashes are overrated. Godox gives exactly same results.

bruh this does not count as low budget

when other people's low budget is way above your whole budget.

Not a fan of that harsh flash shadow in the first set of photos in the snow. Eck

thanks for the vid but it's overpriced, Godox V1 can do it for sure

AD 200 or Wescott FJ200 blows this away and the Godox is pretty small and rugged and has a million modifiers. MUCH cheaper.

alot of people equate ttl to using the automatic mode on your camera. its just less control i guess. Plus idk if the flash would communicate with the camera. Itd be dependent on the hot shoe mount of the f100. All the different camera manufacturers have slightly different pin connections on their hot shoe mounts. thats why theres multiple versions of speedlights to meet the need of communication between camera and flash for ttl.

@@lelandbutler7406 Since I use film only, it's hard to practice. No real time feedback of if you've done something good or not, so I find it hard to "practice" before a real shoot. That's why I hope some mode like TTL could just do the work for me, as I just need well exposed [not overblown / underexposed images]. No to fancy request. I wonder how flash performs shooting straight into the subject vs. reflecting it out of something [indoors or outdoors. I understood the falsh fires twice...first for exposure, second time for the shot itself. I wondered how the flash/ camera knows where the flash is aimed at [cause there will be a difference between direct aim and reflective aiming at the scene.....]

@@eladbari i mean your other option is a light meter. i think ttl meters off of whatever camera setting u have for metering so if youre bouncing flash off of a wall or something, youll probably have to do some exposure compensation on the flash. that probably doesnt apply to your cause youre using film. a light meter or learning all the stops and making educated guesses would be your best bet i think. good luck.

Gorgeous flash and tip, but def not budget. 😅😅

Wescott FJ80 has more wattage for a third of the price.

0:45 there is a Artimide Nesso lamp that costs €350 ($377). This guy spends a lot of money for light 😂

How to make low budget shots look expensive…. BUY A $1,200 flash…. 😂

Personally I don't like the way it looks from your examples. I think natural light looks better.

Profoto is such a scam, prices are absolutely crazy.

"low budget"

What a dumb titled for an ad , what low budget and what pictures ? The ones you took in the snow doesn’t come close to the ones at the start of this clip 😅 and is not budget when you end overpaying for one single flash without the receiver you could just buy a unleash the badger flash light and ps you don’t say sacrifice you say “ investment”
