Portable Sun

[Dave Maciak]

Solved lighting problems for my Fuji cameras. Godox V860 111. Many features including being able to "reach out" for a well exposed image at focal length 200mm.
What I like best?? The battery life for such a strong strobe is tremendous.

It has an impressive guide number of 197. Unfortunately the downfall of all speedlights is they achieve those high GNs with a relatively small concentrated beam of light resulting in hard specular light. Put them in a modifier and the lack of power relative to a studio light becomes evident. Sometimes on location you have no choice but to use a speedlight. I have a Pentax AF360FGZii, a 560FGZii, and a couple Youngnous that work well with modifiers and being cognizant of distance. Also tend to favor the Gary Fong Lightsphere for run and gun shooting.
