Likewise Vanessa, I’ve just stumbled across your channel as well. At the ripe old age of 59 I’ve decided to turn pro, and the first thing I needed was an updated lighting solution. I’d already decided on the B10 so this was timely and just perfectly explained. Thank you, you come across so nicely and your video was a pleasure to watch.

I cant wait to get this B10 light just trying to decide if I need the plus. I am thinking I will get 1 B10 and 1 B10 plus. Going to buy the B10 first and if I find that it has enough power, then I will just get another B10 because I like the size of them. Thanks for simplifying how to operate the light now I don't have to read the manual but they made it so simple you probably don't need to anyways.

I ended up getting only b10s bc I wanted the smaller/lighter solution even if sacrificing a stop of light (which I can gain back with a magnum reflector)

I sold my b1s to replace them with b1s. B10s are slightly less powerful but with a little photo knowledge and light control you’ll be ok with one stop less power.

is it possible to set one profoto b10 to front curtain sync and a second b10 to rear curtain sync? Or to set one light on TTL and another on Manual for the same shot?

I haven’t tried that... but I **think** it’s possible. Www.kzfaq.info would probably know since he messes with that a lot more than I do

@danbrowning2418 4 жыл бұрын

@@VanessaJoy Thanks. I was think of using it to get a pop, a delay, and a pop on a double-exposure in one frame. But when I switched the curtain setting on group A it switched on group B, too.

@danbrowning2418 4 жыл бұрын

@@VanessaJoy Thanks! Here's what Profoto said: Two strobes can’t be setup for front curtain on one and rear curtain on the other using one camera and one Air Remote. The only way we can possibly think of setting up that kind of scenario is by using 2 different Air Remotes. You would need a generic Air Remote which is plugged into your camera through the PC sync port. Set this remote to the same channel as the strobe you want to trigger for first curtain. profoto.com/us/products/air-remotes/remotes/air-remote profoto.com/us/products/accessories/cables/air-accessory-cables/3.5-mm-miniphone-male-to-pc Place the Air Remote TTL on the hot shoe and set it to the same channel as the second strobe. I believe Sony cameras have a menu that allows you to select rear curtain, so make sure you do that. When you trigger the camera, the generic Air Remote should go off first and the Air Remote TTL should go off with the second curtain. Please keep in mind that we don’t know if this will work, but it’s the only possibility we can think of. And to answer your second question, you can set one light to Manual and one to TTL for the same shot. To do so, you need to set each strobe to different groups. Groups A, B and C allow either TTL or Manual operation. But Groups D, E or F are Manual only. So, you can set your TTL strobe to A, B or C and set your Manual strobe to D, E or F. If the Air Remote is set to TTL and you have one strobe set to Group D, E or F, remember that you’ll only be able to change the flash power manually on that strobe. If the Air Remote is set to Manual and you have a strobe set to Group D, E or F, you can highlight all three groups (A, B, C) on the remote and any changes you make will also affect D, E and F.

Dear Vanessa, for being a professional who sometimes uses a flash, would you consider Godox over Profoto at all? Bought the a1, a1x and the b10. Sometimes I feel some buyers remorse because it was a lot of money, but ha, its an investment, I think I did the right thing.

@VanessaJoy 4 жыл бұрын

I honestly wouldn’t bc of the long (and short) term quality and overall investment. It pairs with my life Philosophy in general, I’ll go without something until I can save for what the better value product is vs buying something that’ll frustrate me and cost me more time, money and quality in the long run.

Yeah but you’ll have to purchase those 5 godox lights 5 times over as they break, or edit five times longer as they color shift through use or spend 5x longer trying to reach customer service with issues. Everything costs something
