A video like that will not work because the settings depend on what your environment is like. The settings will be different for outdoors vs indoors and how much light there is indoors. If they turn off the lights for dancing, then the settings change again. You can search RUclips video for exposure triangle that will show you settings for your t6 or any camera
Rex, how are you? I have a question. What would be your setup when you have a vinyl backdrop. I was testing few days ago and the flash reflects just in the middle or above subject's head. I have a godox MS300 with a 32" white satin with black removable cover. Thank you! I appreciate all your videos, are very helpful as always!
Great question. Vinyl predominantly is a reflective material and difficult to work with as a backdrop. Sometime we have no choice because that’s what the client gives us. If you are not able to do a green screen or upgrade them to a pillow top cloth backdrop then you can try raising the flash and shooting towards the subject avoiding direct flash on the vinyl backdrop, can also turn down flash and bump iso.
We shoot outdoors all the time and never an issue if you implement the Exposure Triangle and Flash when necessary. Sharp and well lit photos every time.
Yes, all settings will vary on location and time of day. There are no “common” settings. Best solution is to use the “exposure triangle”. It works every time. With or without flash.
Good afternoon my son is a photographer I built a photo booth for him almost exactly like yours I do have a question is there a particular reason why the umbrella or I should say baby pin is on the side and not the middle? Is there a reason for that? My baby pin will be in the mail this Friday. I don’t want to drill the hole in the wrong spot.
HI Edwin, great observation and thank you for the question. The output or the look of the photo will not make a difference whether if the baby pin holding the flash is in the middle or off to the side. The REASON we have to the side is because we remove the baby pin during transport and screw on the inside. We cant screw in the middle because that's where the camera is.
Hi Rex, can you please help me I as I am getting really confused for example the Photobooth supply Co company in US there Photo Booth QUAC using the shoot through umbrella and pointing opposite direction not to the subject as what you had said earlier in the video that some people made a mistakes for shooting backwards but I still see a lot of Photo Booth owners specifically in America using this method? I am just starting a Photo Booth business and I am doing DIY can you please clarify this that would be helpful thanks a lot Rex
Of course, it depends on the umbrella you have. If you have a reflective umbrella then you shoot backwards. If you have a Shoot Thru white umbrella, you shoot forwards.

This is one of my favorite sized umbrellas amzn.to/3NgfgXo 45in from Westcott spreads light out nicely. Larger the better and wider spread of diffusion for large groups
Thanks Rex, purchased some to try, but my light doesnt have the standard reflector, it came with the soft box. Any recommendations on the standard reflector to connect on the flash? It's the cone the you slide the umbrella rod through. I saw some neewer ones but not too sure. TIA
@@Rexsphotoboothreviews none yet, saw the Neewer branded ones on Amazon, but some reviews say the umbrella hole in that doesn't line up with some Godox strobes. I've got a Metz Bl400,
Great tips! I thought the shoot through looked the best but the least pleasant looking setup. So, I think I gotta continue using a softbox.....which like you I hate setting that thing up. It's so tedious and it looks bulky.
For some reason my canon t7 is getting an error message flash is off or unsupported or an assessor is attached and I can’t get the flash stobe to connect to the camera.. any suggestions
@@AllThingsJuanita it’s standard 110 power for consistency. If you are using a speedlite, it would most likely be battery power. We do events of varying duration and like to plug our flash into outlet
@ makes senses! I tried using the link you posted for the baby pin and it’s no longer available😩 I’m having a hard time finding a replacement. Any recommendations??
Super clean breakdown. I'm looking to buy a flash system that's strong enough to be used outdoors that's not too bulky. Thank you Rex!
Alien bees 400 , you can’t miss.
I think I like the shoot thru it gives more contrast to the subject and the last one which is the bare bulb thanks for sharing
Awesome, the bare bulb really surprised me with the output
I like the see through too, im surprised because i see most people use the reflective one
As always, some great tips Rex!

does alien bee get to hot? You can model and flash with this light?
If you leave the modeling light on for a long period it does get warm but does not over heat. The fan in there is pretty strong
so it will model and then flash? Looks like it did in the video@@Rexsphotoboothreviews
can the alien bee take a LED light?
@@Epic1Entertainment the model light cuts out during the flash then comes back on. After the flash
@@Epic1Entertainmentyes, it’s a standard bulb socket so an led bulb can be used. Usually not as brite but much cooler
Do you have a video that shows what settings our camera should be on? I have a canon t6
A video like that will not work because the settings depend on what your environment is like. The settings will be different for outdoors vs indoors and how much light there is indoors. If they turn off the lights for dancing, then the settings change again. You can search RUclips video for exposure triangle that will show you settings for your t6 or any camera
Do you have a recommendation for another baby pin? The one you linked is completely sold out with no sign of return 😭

do we need a trigger to connect it with the camera? or it syncs through bluetooth or wifi
What about for a digital booth? Do you have any light setup hacks without a tripod?
Great tips rex… been using the diffuser sock on the 7” dish on the AB800
Love the diffuser sock. Very bright and softens the light
@@Rexsphotoboothreviews any thoughts on the size of a beauty dish? I see most are 16 but was wondering if a 20 inch would be ok
@@d.edwardsfreelanceeditorvi4212 20 in will have wider spread

Hello Rex can you share me some of the commonly used dslr booth camera settings with flash or no flash with diffuser lights or no lights?

Hi! Planning to start my first Photobooth Business. Can you recommend a good DSLR model to start up with. Thank you!
Yes, this has everything you need to get started. amzn.to/3W9pgHS
@@Rexsphotoboothreviews thank you rex but that camera is out of my budget. Do you recommend buying 2nd hand 1300D or 1500D for a beginner?
GOOD STUFF REX,I needed this!! What do you reccomend for mirror booth,with all the reflection(using cannon m50) im torn what to buy

What size umbrellas do you recommend Rex?
This is one of my favorite sized umbrellas amzn.to/3NgfgXo
45in from Westcott spreads light out nicely. Larger the better and wider spread of diffusion for large groups
Thanks Rex, purchased some to try, but my light doesnt have the standard reflector, it came with the soft box. Any recommendations on the standard reflector to connect on the flash? It's the cone the you slide the umbrella rod through. I saw some neewer ones but not too sure. TIA

Hi Rex, what's the exact alien bees light you're using.
Here is a link to the alien bees ab400. www.paulcbuff.com/AlienBees-tm-Flash-Unit.html
Great tips! I thought the shoot through looked the best but the least pleasant looking setup. So, I think I gotta continue using a softbox.....which like you I hate setting that thing up. It's so tedious and it looks bulky.
The soft box yields good looking results!!! But, so bulky and cumbersome. Thanks for following along. Love the feedback
I just leave the softbox set up forever
@@michaelh2735 that’s awesome to be able to do that. Will not fit in the car if we don’t collapse our soft box. You must have a van or truck
No just a sedan but it does take some space in the rear seat which folds down@@Rexsphotoboothreviews
My sentiments exactly! Best output but not aesthetically appealing.
For some reason my canon t7 is getting an error message flash is off or unsupported or an assessor is attached and I can’t get the flash stobe to connect to the camera.. any suggestions
The flash you used is battery powered?
@@AllThingsJuanita it’s standard 110 power for consistency. If you are using a speedlite, it would most likely be battery power. We do events of varying duration and like to plug our flash into outlet

I like the bare flash one but if you have pvc props they tend to show a glare 😅
Absolutely, the bare flash SURPRISED me. I think it looked great. Flash is ALWAYS going to give glare. Same with ppl wearing glasses. Gonna have glare
Is it recommended to use a diffuser with ipad?
