Got the Godox AD400 as a Christmas Gift. I know absolutely nothing about strobe lighting other than they produce amazing results. Thanks for the tutorial...
Thank you, Mark, for this and your other videos. I did not get how you set up your lighting for when you were playing your drums. My "Learning Style" is "Visual" then "Audio"... then "Do" (there a proper term for that but can't remember it. GOD bless you.
The drums part was more to demonstrate the effect of flash duration rather than exactly what way the lights were. But it was just strobe in an octabox in front of the drum kit and I had LED lights around the kit for colour
Never heard about the speed of light affecting the freezing of motion but seems a brilliant tip which means your photo isn't introducing lots of noise due to the usual high ISO. Enjoyed this video Mark. Easy to understand the points and I'm a complete beginner on lighting. Thanks
Ideally for this is should've been using a little faster of a shutter speed cuz of the ambient light in this small room but yeah the flash duration is what freezes the action
Thank you for this video, it had a lot of great information! I don't know if you would be able to offer any advice on this, but recently I was asked to photograph an indoor equine sports event and I'm trying to figure out what would be the best choice for reflectors on my strobes? And are most reflectors interchangeable between lighting brands? I take a lot of equine photography in natural light, but this is completely new to me, so any advice would be appreciated if you have time. Thanks again.
Any bowens mount softbox yeah. That light has a modelling lamp on it but it wouldn't be great or bright so wouldn't suit for videoing with. These strobes are really designed for photography
Mark Just seen this, catching up on videos I missed from the photography show. Very informative and I like your delivery style. Can you let me know what sound trigger you used for the drumming shots please. I use AD200s and you were right the AD-B2 bracket and 2 AD200s make this so versatile as you can get a 400w/s strobe or 2 x 200w/s strobes. You can't go the other way and split an AD400 in half to get 2 strobes.
Thank you for this video. It’s very informative and helped a lot! I just bought two Godox QS400’s and I just started to play with them. Do you know what the “prop” setting and percentage dials mean? I’m so confused what their purpose is for
Yeah the prop is the modelling lamp and the percentage I'd strength of it. So you have 3 choices, off prop or 100%. Off and 100% is on or off, prop sets the strength proportionately to your strobe strength to give you a kind idea what your scene will be like when you take your photo. It can help a bit. Try it
I just want to be able to connect 4 godox lights to my canon do I need the remote with the screen or will a normal one do. Also can I "slave" them using the signal thing
The trigger is class, I've no idea how many lights you can control with it at the one time, I've controlled 5. The best thing is you can change the strength or power of the strobes from the trigger on your camera, so if you're standing in a field 30m away or the strobe is mounted up high, you don't have to manually go over to it and they're like £60 on amazon so very reasonable
Hello Mark, I have a photography gig on the 11th where I am supposed to do conceptualized shoot indoors with Godox. I am very confused how to go about it.
thanks mark. As usual a great video and explained in an easy manner which is understandable rather than being too techinical. I will be testing the 1/16th hopefully soon. Just a quick question was your godox trigger on manual or ttl mode
go-DOX or GOD-ox? I've heard English speakers say go-DOX and a native Chinese speaker say GOD-ox. of the godox products I have, I've found them to be lacking, under performing while overpriced in every way. They must have some parts mall where they go through and pick out random parts for products. It certainly looks that way with the battery powered strobe light. They don't even give you the basic reflector to use it out of the box. You have to buy THEIR set of reflectors which is not standard. if you get their battery operated strobe, when th battery dies, you're done for the day. you can't use it directly plugged into the mains. it has to be charged. rarely have I seen something so insanely priced and so poorly designed.

Nice one glad to hear my video helps
Great video dude, this is very informative. 👍🏼
Hope it helps
Awesome video! Especially as a newbie with strobe lighting (got a Godox SK400ii and AD200 pro with Sony A7C). Very informative thank you!
I’m thinking of investing in the sk400ii now bc it’s budget friendly. Would you recommend it ?
Thank you, Mark, for this and your other videos.

I’ve seriously watched a hundred videos and no one mentioned this! This just changed everything for me
Nice ratio bro, no haters 😎

Sorry only seeing your comment now, if you're only going to be using reflectors I'd possibly try firing lights bare and see how that looks
I’ve watched a hundred videos and not one mentioned flash duration 🥴 THANK YOU!
Really? Its so important
I bought a Godox SK400II Studio Strobe. Can I but any soft box for this?
And would this be good for podcasting?
Thanks
Any bowens mount softbox yeah. That light has a modelling lamp on it but it wouldn't be great or bright so wouldn't suit for videoing with. These strobes are really designed for photography
@@MarkDuffyPhotography thank you for your time......what would you recommend on a budget please.
Cheers.

Yeah I was using the Miops Smart+ I posted a reel on my instagram page showing me using it, better than I did in this video

I've no idea what a conceptualised shoot is? Sorry never got notified about your comment only seeing it now. How'd you get on?
thanks mark. As usual a great video and explained in an easy manner which is understandable rather than being too techinical. I will be testing the 1/16th hopefully soon. Just a quick question was your godox trigger on manual or ttl mode
I have no idea how to use ttl sorry
Will this strobe lighting work for a canon m50?
Yeap ya just need the Canon version of the Godox triggers.
