I'm a grizzled commercial vet....strips are part of the required lighting tool-age. FYI: In "the old days", we would just mask the front of a conventional soft box, creating a narrow slit of light. But my two Godox 14"x64" strips offer TONS of utility....from product to portrait, in studio and on-location.* (I try NOT to have to break them down/reassemble- because my pair are a pain in the ass). Highly recommended mods....
Hey Guys, I used to follow you a few years ago and you suddenly left the scene. I learned so much from you both that I now shoot weddings, portraits, dogs and horses. One of your uploads that impressed and inspired me was when you were shooting with flash on a BMX trail. So glad to see you on the scene again, keep them coming.
Appreciate the video, a word of advice though, a "with" and "without" side to side comparison would visualise the effect of using the modifier and help the audience to understand it better.
i would have love to have seen a shot with all three of you to emphasis the point you made about a family portrait using that strip box. Great video. I'll grab mine today and see what I can do with it!
it's a little offset arm from Westcott, we use it quite a bit when we do headshots. It's just offset enough to get your camera directly under a modifier.
it's a little offset arm from Westcott, (8" Shorty Offset Extension Arm, use "sticks23" for 10% off) we use it quite a bit when we do headshots. It's just offset enough to get your camera directly under a modifier.
great review and examples. This extension arm seems amazing to incline a 1x4 without using a heavy girafe boom ! more video on stripboxes (and their expensive grid) are welcome 🙂

That was great. Short, informative and to the point. Go, team!

Thank you, we had a blast doing that video (other than the mosquitos eating us alive). We are hoping to schedule more time to making videos!

Fantastic, go get your strip box and go play! We will put the idea of a family in the lust of video ideas. Thanks
Great video! Thanks for making it.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
What is that curved tube on the top of your lightstand that moves the center pole just a few inches off center? I've never seen one!
What is the 90 arm on the light stand in your 2nd set up?

What is that arm holding the light off centered?

Thanks for watching we were using the Westcott Rapid Box Switch 1x4 Strip Box

You are right. The shorty arm from Westcott is awesome.
Very well done! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
I get it, you're making a vid, but I just can't watch a "photographer" who has no clue how to properly hold a camera. Definitely NOT subscribing.
Ummm, ok. Thanks for watching
