This is great because I usually find myself relying only on natural lighting exactly because lugging around supplementary lighting seems such a hassle. Thanks for helping to mitigate this problem!
@papsny Жыл бұрын
It ain't a hassle if you're a professional, it's a necessity to bring lights and it is what differentiates you from an amateur. Professionals don't rely on the luck of DJ lights or good natural light.
@e_Dave Жыл бұрын
@papsny Are you sure about that? My Grandfather's a professional photographer and is about as old-school as it gets, and he's constantly using natural light whenever he can specifically because he hates hulling around giant heavy lights. I've learned from both him AND Markus that you don't need a million dollars worth of giant equipment to be "professional." The difference between an amateur and professional is experience, which can result in better pictures on its own. If you feel like you need a bunch of accessories in order to be "professional," then you're clearly trying too hard to look cool.

I love your content. We are kindred spirits. I obsess over finding unique, cheap, ans small solutions to things. My first video was about modifying cheap collapsing selfie tripods with with M to M 1/4-20 adapters so they would hold my LED lights and other miscellaneous gear. Photography is an expensive hobby but I try to help folks understand it doesn't have to be, and that creativity can overcome budget or other logistic hurdles. Keep doing what you do!

Holy crap, you’re dedicated to thoroughly covering each possibility is amazing. Thank you for putting it together to share. I was using a flash bracket to hold a double flash for a compact little one small bag kit because the stands tend to be bulkier. My compact stands weren’t quite tall enough but this has some amazing work around for every scenario between the rigid extenders, the ones that bend. Between this and the info on the light output of the AD100s, it will make for an excellent little travel light kit I can fit in a tiny bag like a tripod bag to throw in with me just in case. I’m thinking two stands, 2 or 3 AD100s and the trigger in a little 15” cylindrical bag. Appreciate the enthusiasm to discover and share!

I read an article the other day comparing cheap (Godox) softboxes with expensive (Profoto) softboxes. One thing thay stated is that beause the inside of the softbox, on the Profoto was a better material, it output more and better light. I don't always trust these reviews because they are sometimes trying to justify the cost. Have you done a video comparing cheap and expensive softboxes? I trust your reviews more than anyone else.

I use the Matthews extension with my Phottix PH88215/Padat 200 stand as my travel stand setup. Fits in a carry-on easily. I was excited to hear about stands fitting in messenger bags but those tripod bases make me queasy with the sway and that 1/4-20 thread on the bottom holding things. I've seen wayy too many extensions break at that point.

@@timk8258 What I've done in pinch situations is use a background stand holder, pair it with the matthews extension and a manfrotto magic arm (got some weight to it but that's good in this case). So you'd have a baby pin/spigot holding the weight, which is akin to what most light stands would be using.
