Jason this is unbelievably the best 20 min lesson I have ever got. invaluable !! I've been struggling to understand all this for so long. I love you !!! you're the best !!!!!!! Thank you
Fascinating stuff. I've been a pro for over forty years, but have never tried this sort of thing. Guess it's time to have a go!

This video is right on time! I was just researching how to use HSS and understanding it along with TTL , and BOOM here this video is. Thank you :)
I know I have said this before. The voice over is FANTASTIC, I cannot tell you how much I enjoy your videos especially with VO explaining your thought process.
Now this is a tutorial I actually enjoy watching. Thanks!
Thank you times 3, i really understand how it works and when to use HSS. Great shoot loved it!!
Layman's terms on why use HSS: 1).It's a bright day 2).You need your model facing away from the sun (no squinting) This creates unsightly shadows which we want to eliminate but we still want to retain a shallow depth of field For a wide aperture we need a fast shutter speed due to the bright conditions Using HSS we can overpower the shadows without losing shallow depth of field and without overexposing the natural light

I see an argument for a slightly expanded depth of field. He was keeping clouds in some focus sometimes and to me the entirety and lasting value of the shot is better this way. However no question about HSS in general. Its great.

Thank you so much for what you do, This is the video I saw 2 years ago that made me rethink my lighting, both for the HS/HSS and lightening my gear in the field; I sold my old PCB Ultras and Bees and went with the Elinchrom Quadra's.....Peace.
Many thanks for the education - I have the Sony A6300 and the Godox V860II- Flash with Lithium battery and will now experiment to see if I can get anywhere near what you have shown
I learned more with your videos, than any webinar or other videos I've watched before! So glad I found you!
Clear simplified explanation about high speed sync and Hypersync flash photography great. Thanks Jason
Shots with and without the flash firing were excellent examples of what HS Sync does! Thanks!

Thank you thank you thank you for the best explanation and demonstration a high speed sync HSS. You're awesome Jason thank you for the great information it is truly making a difference
Thank you for the very informative video! Big fan and love your work!
Lots to take in here. I might need to watch this a few more times.
Another great lesson. Anxious to experiment with this myself. Thanks!
An extremely comprehensive and direct video. Thank you Jason
Jason, great job, love your explanations brother.
Jason you are the bomb! I've learned so much from the two videos I've watced.
Jason, you're timing is excellent. I've just got my e-mount HSS with Godox TT685 and X1Ts on A6000. Thanks for the hints sir.
OMG, compared to the so-called tutorials offered by the 20 something photographers taking photos of friends this is epic! You not only showed what you do but explained why. Not sure the net is ready for that 😜

Thank you brother! That's why I say it pays to follow people who are actually photographers...:)
We're newbies! Not even native English speakers but everything is very clear and very helpful! I was able to do hss with my t350 and a6000 but when I used my t350 as master and ad200 as slave I can't seem to make hss work. I hope somebody here could direct me on how to do it? But Thank you Jason for all your free videos!
Excellent and very informative tutorial video!!! Thanks a lot!!
Simple and straight to the point, thanks Jason.
Come to Tasmania! Joking aside...I LOVE using HSS.. I think everybody should know and understand it if you're charging people money. The more you learn and the more you know the more value you have.. I tend to be a nerd when I love something. I fell in love with photography two years ago and I study every single day. Now after 2 years I'm outshining a lot of local photographers. And they're actually asking me questions on learning new tricks and techniques. Learning high-speed sync is just having another tool in your tool belt
this is amazing mate. all my questions answered
Hope to see more of this type of instructional video from you in the future!
I love the way you use artificial light. I didn't think you could shoot a portrait shot with a wide angle lens! Thanks for the high speed sync tutorial, you just gave me something else to think about now.

Jason - another brilliant video from you. You are so down to earth and have a great way of explaining things. I know there are haters out there but please don't apologise for anything and keep doing what you do. Kind regards from the UK.
I really enjoy your videos. I am working to get better with my Flashpoint Zoom R2 TTL Lithium Ion and use it with other speedlights and the R2 Transmitters and receivers. I just wanted to tell you your videos are very appreciated.
Thank you Jason, you are a big help always
Thank you for this video. I need a flash now 😃
thank u so much for sharing ur knowledge!!
Thanks very much Jason, that really helps.
Great explanation of HSS in layman's terms. Now I totally understand why a bunch of shots were so overexposed when trying to use my newly acquired f1.8 portrait lens at an outdoor wedding shoot. I will now try to choose a HSS flash for my Nikon D7500... time to research!
Awesome video, thanks for the lesson!
An excellent explanation of HSS. Thankyou. Much learnt.
Love, love love your videos Jason. Would love to go to one of your workshops. Come to Perth Australia. We have great beaches here :))
another great video brother!!!! i really love the education videos!!!
Jason, you are such a practical and inspiring mentor!!! unlike many of others talking in alien language and shooting shitty photos... Love all your work!!!
Great content and info about high speed sync.
excellent don't wanna miss the JL education 👌
A variable ND filter? I've had great success with one shooting wide open for outdoor shoots.
Hello from Tassie, enjoyed the video thanks. Hope you enjoyed your visit :)
Jason thank you so much I've been struggling trying to get really good high-speed sync with my SonyA6300 and step up my outdoor photography, this helped me out a lot. With the Pixel King can I attach the receiver to any flash and shoot HSS? Provided the flash allows it? (I know about the battery drain and recycle time, just asking). I was gonna get the godox/bolt option, is that any good?
Thank you, always a great video
it's more fun watching you live but this video is as close as I can get ;)
Just getting into a flash photography after a half a year of shooting basically since I got my first Sony A7 series cameras. Thanks for the info Jason. Slowly ...but it's coming along. Cheers brother
I love my Rovelight. You're absolutely right about recycle times, but at a 1/5 of the cost of a B1, I'll put up with a little lag time. I've got four of them and great modifiers all for the cost of one B1. Thanks for the video Jason, you're a standup guy. Do you meter at all or are you just checking your screen to see the results.
A+ Jason , Thank you so much.
Awesome, didn't get all of it at the first time, will have to see it again
Thanks for another great video. I have to go and make some hss shots but with speedlights, because I do not have monolight and am just an enthusiast photographer so will not likely be buying one (or more). I just might be renting them though just to try some things out. Thanks again voor the great videos and for all the info. Keep them coming. :-)
great work and hello from Tasmania!
Great video Jason. Very helpful info. Im sure many didnt know that HYPERsync used 1:1 power. Great model. Loved the voiceover as well. Makes it easier to understand and concentrate on the info. Keep up the great work as always my friend.

@Stephen Soukup, hypersync DOES NOT require one to shoot 1:1 it only requires the power turned up enough to give a long flash duration. Broncolor doesn’t require full power for HS for example, you just have to basically use at least 50% of the flash power, which on location you’re often doing anyway. Inferior lights usually have less options. Other than that, overall Jason’s video is on the money.
I use a Speedlight with external battery pack for mobile outdoor fill. Works well enough and recycles fast enough.

Hss is ment for high shutter speed, like you want to shoot wide open 1.8 and also want to exposed for both the sky and model.
Jason, thanks for sharing your thoughts, and giving me, ..I take it personal, ..food for thought when it comes to using flashes and mono lights. After watching the wedding shoot you did on the beach using the Flashpoint rovelight, I decided to get one, and it works nicely. what I didn't realize was that I needed to buy the specific triggers to make it happen. ..I couldn't truly achieve the hss with the triggers it came with. I am truly amazed at how beautiful your pictures come out. ..and I'm determined to make it happen for myself. thanks man for taking the time to make these videos. if you ever come down to Florida, let me know.
Thank you for the explanations 👌
jason my big respect for you,best of the best
I LEARNED A LOT ,THANK U
Enjoy your videos! It was great learning something very beneficial :)
Wow!! Great shots!!
I know this was done a while ago but I'm just now viewing this video. With the profoto would I be right in saying the HSS function works but not the TTL when using those pixel king triggers, or do you retain all the functions?
Now I finally understand! Thank you!
You're so accurate! Still actual..... amazing results!
Thanks, Jason! Really love your work. Will you be putting the cave shoot back up? I missed that one.
I just bought the Godox system. It's been friggin' awesome so far. I think it's exactly the same as the Flashpoint stuff from Adorama.
thanks for another great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Jason great video
thanks dude, hope you visit australia again so i could attend your workshop
Just awesome Jason.
your the best jason,thanks a lot
Thank you! great content!
Great video. Thanks Jason
Hey, Jason! Thanks for a great video. One question though. The main reason why you wanted to use the flash was underexposed sky and the background, right? But A7RII has a plenty of dynamic range. So why can't you just do a shot and then in post increase the exposure of everything except model? Or vice versa for a contra lightning?
Hi Jason, outstanding as always. I've been researching this and in July will get the Flashpoint Explor 600 monolight, R2 trigger and a PCB Octobox. Just cannot wait!!! thanks for being such an inspiration.

Thanks Jason. This vid is a Godsent. I'm a big fan of off-camera-flash and I'm using an A6000, and the info you shared here are priceless. Give me a holler whenever you're in Kuala Lumpur and I'll treat ya :) Thanks again..
Awesome stuff Jason!
Jason, thanks very much :-)
Awesome vid, well done
I recently bought that light and it's incredible. I have been using the trigger that it came with and have never had to wait for the next flash since I averaged between 1/64 to 1/128 power but when I bought the new HSS triggers for my camera, it is so inconsistent when it flashes. I know you are a Sony guy but have you seen any videos or info about how to use the new triggers in high speed sync? Thank you for your lessons. I really enjoy watching you create some amazing compositions in places others would run from.
Thanks for such a vedio sync. Am from India Kerala
Lovely video shoot.
Hello Jason, Thanks so much for your video and how kind you manage it. Hope you will be in France once to meet you during a workshop ;-)

thanks for your time...as you've said the pc sync cable looks like a head-phone cable and as such one end looks like stereo and the other end is mono which end goes where; (double rubber end goes to the transmitter or the strobe light or visa versa) ?

Hi Jason many thanks for your many videos I feel like I have learned so much but have so much more to learn too. I have started shooting weddings and portraits but Im not charging much as i have not been doing long. I really like the idea of the Sony cameras but could only afford the A6000 at the moment. so I'm thinking do i stick with my Canon 40d,750d or buy 2 A6000 and get the 30 and 50 primes. Are the Sony cameras that good ? thanks again
No single flash video has made me want to learn this more... I have a flash, trigger arrives tomorrow, but my flash isn't HSS, which makes me mad, makes me wish I'd ordered one with HSS to start because I know I want THOSE results. Thanks for your videos!
