    I’m 59 now, but I have been a strobist since I was 16. I love that there are still people who know how to do it properly. It separates the boys from the men, per se.

    Hello Eli, it's your a next great movie😁... I wonder about changing my speedlights Youngnuo 560 and 568 to Godox V1 ( I think that it is the same like Westcoot). Do you recommend this speedlight ? I also think about Godox Ad200 but this lamp doesn't have the modeling light.

    • @EliInfante
      @EliInfante  3 роки тому +2

      I've never had a chance to use the Godox V1 but from what I've seen I'm sure its a good Speedlight. A few things to consider is if you need cross compatibility between different cameras the FJ80 works with different camera brands (Canon, Sony, Nikon, etc.). Another feature is the big touch screen with the FJ80. The touch screen IMO makes the FJ80 Speedlight the easiest flash I've ever used.

    Great motivation Mr. Infante!
    I like the video.
    I am someone who has decided to start portrait photography as a side hustle but I would kinda need a mentor like you, who would help me on deciding the gear to start with and many more. I would appreciate if u could respond to this comment. Thanks

      Can you be more specific Patrick. Gear as in camera gear or lighting gear? 😬
