Thank you!
Probably the worst video explaining the rembrandt triangle. That was a waste of my time.
Hey @westcott how do you trigger this flash wirelessly? Can this be controlled by the FJ-X3 wireless trigger?
Extra question: the sony a6700 is compatible with high speed sync function of your flashes? I already checked your webpage compatibility but it just show a few cameras. the question is just to be sure if it is or not is compatible. thank you for your attention
The cameras listed on our website are those that have undergone comprehensive testing to ensure full compatibility with our system. While many other cameras may also work seamlessly with our system, they have not been subjected to the same thorough testing process.
Would have been much better with a narrated walk through.
Amazing job, congratulations!!!! thanks you to Westcott for helping us to use our Wescott flashes I have the FJ400 !
Great to hear!
At F/4 everybody is sharp when they are 4 of them ?
Love this thank you.
Can the FJ-80ii be wirelessly triggered by canon RT trigger system like the canon E3 ex rt or the canon 600ex rt? Kindly do a video of this flash being triggered by E3 exrt trigger

Great training video
Hello, I am toying with this idea and using a grid seems to be the way to do it. I want to create a colomn of light installing a softbox overhead with a narrow grid, pointing squarely at the floor, hoping that someone could move while being only partly lit or fully lit. Could it work? any comment ? Thanks
Is this bracket really strong enough to support the weight of an Octa-M with diffusers and grid attachments? I would hate to see the head of my FJ80 get snapped off.
Hello! I currently have a the FJ-X3, would. this work with my Godox Strobes? I can seem to get them working. Thank you
i really enjoyed your video, one question, why the manny ortiz 36" compared to the 36" Xl. Just curious. Is there a difference? Silver....
The 36" beauty dish does come with a white or silver interior and the deflector plate is much faster to add and remove.
Just so that you know, It wasn't that long ago, photo students had to pay $$$$ Thousands $$$$ per year in Art & Photo Schools to learn these types of photo lighting techniques. Keep up the great work. And Thank You.
How to shoot group portraits by throwing money at them. Also a bit boring.
Are you using a macro lens?
Thanks for the video clarifying that the center pole should not be extended all the way. I do think that should be noted/updated in the paper instructions which just says to extend each arm fully and doesn't make any specific mention of the center pole. Nevertheless, excited to use it!
Really appreciate the feedback, will let our team know!
I'd expect a better job of lighting from Westcott ..🦘
Can the modelling light temperature be changed to warmer light?
What's with the pixeling in and out of the video?
Thanks for the review. I'd like to know the what's camera speed at iso 100 - f/16 and 100% power LED do you get?
That was lovely and very useful. I sometimes used a fart machine or a whoopee cushion. Made me laugh if no one else...
Yo this video is garbo. Where is the lego style ikea assembly guide?
Thanks for the nice video! You're using a f/2 with a shutter speed of 1/6400 ... how do you sync your flash with such a short shutter speed?
Eli is using High-Speed Sync
What Camera was this
Matt was using the Sony Alpha 1
This dude shooting with a Nikon 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
South Sudan woman!
Please - You should not say 45 degrees, when you, like me, prefer about an arms length off to the side. More l;ike 20 degrees. OK
Can the battery be charged a different way outside the charging block?
I believe the companies that develop photography accessories are truly running out of ideas. LOL
Hello! Are you sure that @2:16 the photo in the left had active scrim while taking the photo?
It did! The 1/4 stop diffuses the light much less than the full stop material.
Great video! I'm not a professional. I'm going to start photographing pets from a shelter in my city. It's a small town in Brazil. Thanks for help!
hi matt! thanks for this tutorial. watched it quite a few times. did this with a 41” reflective then a shoot through umbrella when the wind took down my other stand and role the other one. i made it work. did it for my daughter’s softball league. my question that i’m struggling with is balancing the exposure for darker skin tones. and not blowing out the super pale folks. any suggestions?
Nice video! Great tips & shots. I know it's not a Westcott, but can you share what mono pole that you use?
This looks so cool. Could this be used as a high key backdrop with the speedlights? I wonder if the frame would show through.
Beginner photography question how many flashes do you need to take these dramatic pictures? They look so epic to me.
You can take dramatic photos with just one light! Especially starting out, you need to master one light before adding more.
@@WestcottLighting ok thanks for the feedback. I just got one yesterday 🙏🙏🙏
Nikon user here: You tell us 4 settings to change but only tell us how to change 1 setting (E1 in the menu). You would have us time and frustration if you'd please tell us where the other 3 settings are located in the menu.
How did you pull in the beautiful clouds? Thanks for sharing
I wish there’s more photos as examples!
Thank you for the informative tutorial and tips!
You’re welcome!!
Very helpful and informative! Thank you so much Matt and Westcott, Good luck!
No way a double diffused softbox and 1/32nd power will be enough light even at f1.4 and ISO 100. Not enough power to get light through 2 diffusers.
Captions: Hi I'm James Squash Junior
I was looking for a guideline to give my dog a photoshoot and have found out that there are 2 layers of diffusion with the soft box. thank you so much for the information. you earn an appreciated subscription.
So glad you found this helpful, Adam does an amazing job breaking everything down!
I am SO excited! I pre-ordered two of these in April and they just shipped, I'll have them here in Hawaii next week!!!!! YAY! Thank you Westcott! Thank you @SalCincotta ! I love my x-drops & x-drop pros and these are a perfect complement to my quiver!
Excited for you to get your hands on these! Make sure to tag us if you post anything with them!
What were the power settings on the strobe lights?
Full Power for the ones in direct sun
That's amazing :)
Thanks! 😄
Thanks for sharing your videos as an amateur photographer I like to learn from as much experts as I can ...your work is really beautiful
Awesome, thank you!
