Hello Markus, you definitely do not go to sleep without learning something. In all my years as a Wedding Photographer, it never occurred to me to mount the Flash in that way and once I had to send my camera to repair system to get the hot shoe fixed due to my flash stopped firing. Best regards
Markus, Seriously, thanks for this, and all the rest you've shared. You and your gal keep me constantly entertained. I haven't quite figured out how you're able to do what you do, you must have won the lotto. Heroic! Please keep them coming. Looking at your work, you get a lot of production value from your little one man band. Keep it up! I wish I had half your enthusiasm. I'm eagerly awaiting everything you put up.
I loved this idea when I saw the video. I took it a step farther and added a swivel based ball head to the top part so I can fully control flash articulation.
This is a great idea. Now just to rig up one that rotates so that we can bounce light. I've seen the 360 being used on camera before and with great results.
Every thought of the V860ii? Much lighter and good output for fill plus it doesn't protrude as much. Has about the same shoot count. And it's 200$ cheaper, just a thought. But this is interesting if all you had was the ad200
Yeah, that was the first thing on my mind. At first I thought he wanted to overpower the sun with this setup. I could understand that, you need the power. Then I hear he just wants a touch of fill light for portrait. So I keep waiting for a reason why he doesn't use a normal on-camera flash, like everyone else since flash existed. But it never came up. So this is just a setup to show off, basically.
Ah but it oftentimes IS full power! Remember my main lights are usually AD600s and I like using longer portrait lenses like the 85... which means standing considerably further back. For every foot further back, I need almost double the power. Speedlights are worthless beyond 3 feet for the kind of stuff I do and I am often times 15-20 feet back
Hey, I did something like this, but my new mirrorless camera had a very hard time focusing last night in the 1st low light event I did with it. Any tips on how to do some sort of a DIY AF focus assist light or something? Also is it true, that the red laser thing that worked fine for DSLRs doesn't work for mirrorless?
I noticed that if i hold my ad200pro too close to my trigger xt2-o it can't communicate well but seems the raised bracket shadows what i normally do handheld when taking portraits on the fly
Great news! It's a fantastic idea. Your video is the first i see that use with a Trigger. I have one question i have the A7 III and want to buy a Smallrig Cage. The question is that i don't know if my trigger (Triopo G1) can go with the Smallrig cage because the shape it has (continue the hot shoe mount around one inch) . Do you think it could fit?
I own Nikon D3300 with kit lenses(18-55 & 55-200) & 35 f/1.8. Laso have SB700, 3rd party TTL & manual flash. Since D3300 doesn't have High Speed Sync was th8nking of mounting all three flash on a bracket & fire all at once during pre-wedding outdoor shoot against sun. Please suggest me some brackets.
I’m just curious why you need that much fill? And in a situation with 2 strobes on each side why not just have a 3 light setup as you won’t be mobile anyway?
Question, you didn’t elaborate on the connection attached to the AD200. Is that just the mounting plate that would be fixed to the bottom of a camera from the bracket you purchased?
Markus - there is some sort of a top plate on your EasyRig bracket that has a cut-out for the hot shoe on the camera. I don't see this comes on a standard EasyRig cage - can you advise what this is please ?? Thank, Richard
Hi Markus - when I look at the standard SmallRig cage on E-Bay - there is no top plate with the hotshoe cut out like you have on yours ?? I use a Nikon Z7 but I see you have a Sony camera there - and I checked the SmallRig cage for the Sony on E-Bay and it too has no top plate with the hotshoe cut out like yours in the video. So I am puzzled - I thought maybe it was a Smallrig add-on accessory plate. But I can see nothing like it. If you look on E-Bay at the standard Smallrig cage - there is no top plate on it like the one you have there ?? Any ideas ??
There's endless models and variations to choose from at Smallrig.com like this one www.smallrig.com/smallrig-sony-a7ii-a7rii-a7sii-ilce-7m2-ilce-7rm2-ilce-7sm2-cage-1660.html
Hello Markus, Thanks - I cannot find (even on the SmallRig Web page) a version of cage like that for the Nikon Z7. So I have e-mailed SmallRig to ask if they produce a similar model of cage as this for the Nikon Z7. And if it is available here in the UK. See what they say in response. Thanks again.
I gave one away a few months ago, but I still use the other 360s on light stands as hair lights like here ua-cam.com/video/78e1socwvi4/v-deo.html , but yeah maybe soon.
I guess you're not a huge fan of the direct flash look. That's a cool setup, no drilling or DIY rigging. Just screw it together. that dual setup would be awesome for video work.
But there's this obvious wire tangling management issue. But it's worth it as the weight will be barely minimum on a hotshoe, with additional advantage of being able to tilt the flash head.
You have such a creative brain. I love learning about all these tools.

you’re McGyver of photography! very ingenious!
I definitely agree that 360 is going to destroy that hot shoe. Cool solution!
Markus thanks so much for this video. I love your way of thinking. You are awesome!!!
Thank you!
This is a great idea. Now just to rig up one that rotates so that we can bounce light. I've seen the 360 being used on camera before and with great results.
you can turn it up and down
Markus, thank you, a person on UA-cam that is talking about Lighting.
some black foam wrapped neatly around the bracket where you grip it would make it easier on the hand perhaps. The edges look Sharp.
Hey Markus really like your youtube video you come up with some great ideas. I like the fact that you think outside the box.
Every thought of the V860ii? Much lighter and good output for fill plus it doesn't protrude as much. Has about the same shoot count. And it's 200$ cheaper, just a thought. But this is interesting if all you had was the ad200
Tristan and the 860 would just fit in the hot shoe of the camera with no bracket needed. It would be master and others slaved to it
The 860 is one of the first things I gave away lol, for me it doesn't even come close to an AD200
MarkusPix what use case?
Yeah, that was the first thing on my mind. At first I thought he wanted to overpower the sun with this setup. I could understand that, you need the power.

Thinking of 3D printing one of these flash holder.
Like 80's😊
I just subscribed, that was done so nicely, it is JUST the setup I wanted, thanks
Another excellent video 👍👍
Awesome video Markus. Thank you. I what size is the thread knob?
quarter twenty

Creative ways for lighting on the go!
Interesting. Would Suggest sample images next time though.
Will be cool too to add a ball head on top that way your ad200 can rotate.
It can rotate up and down if you want to bounce off ceiling.
@@MarkusPix that is cool
Thanks Markus, very creative ☺
I LOVE YOU THANKS SO MUCH BEEN LOOKING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS .. GREAT INFORMATION
Right?!
Very much appreciate your time and honest, candid advice and suggestions!! Thanks so much!
Hi Markus, I thought your one bicep looked bigger, lol. Great video. Thanks for the ideas.
I need an L-bracket that has a mounting hole on the vertical end!
Very nice
I noticed that if i hold my ad200pro too close to my trigger xt2-o it can't communicate well but seems the raised bracket shadows what i normally do handheld when taking portraits on the fly
There are 2 transmitter options in the menu of T2X.
0-30 meter and 1-100 meter. You can choose what you need. ;-)
Thanks!
Effective idea. Thanks

Because Cara is 50 years old and its my duty as a partner to make her look good ua-cam.com/video/JvybtloDDaw/v-deo.html
Nice gear !
Great idea. I think instead of channel you mean Group A, B, and C.....4:20

@@MarkusPix Product link removed, please send me model number
what if you wanted swivel like little rotation for the flash is there such mount that you attach to that bracket so ad200 can rotate ??
yes you can swivel it up or down
That's bad ass
Marcus if you are not using ad 360s anymore and of you had any Nikon lights l be interested in taking them.off your hands.
I gave one away a few months ago, but I still use the other 360s on light stands as hair lights like here ua-cam.com/video/78e1socwvi4/v-deo.html , but yeah maybe soon.
Where ,I can get that that thing is around the camera

Cool bro
Whoul you like GIRAFLASH flashbracket?
how did you detach the extra plate / mount? i just ordered one and it the hex bolt seems to be glued in :(
I took a hammer and whacked it off
600+600+200 wow!! why need so many light??
This guys are awesome, they have ISO 1000000 in their cameras, f1.2 lenses and ALSO a big ass flash head.... crazy people
Where did you buy the plate replacement for the godox ad360?
you mean this? www.cheetahstand.com/product-p/cl-360xnhs.htm
Looks like a nice setup; but doesn't work for a portrait shot.
Hahaha That's ALL I use it for!! ua-cam.com/video/PpUJhVI4bM0/v-deo.html
@@MarkusPix I meant when taking shots in a vertical position as opposed to landscape orientation.
Please suggest me for livestream video to FB,YT,
Why Not Godox EC200 ?
Because I hate cables.
is there a cage for the 7d mark i?

I guess you're not a huge fan of the direct flash look. That's a cool setup, no drilling or DIY rigging. Just screw it together. that dual setup would be awesome for video work.
Use an 860 and if would be much more versatile, lighter and you wouldn’t come off as a Fred.
I gave my 860 away one hour after I bought and tried it. Doesn't come close to the AD200. Who's Fred?
Here's the video where I gave it away ua-cam.com/video/0LLqy3QNngY/v-deo.html :-)
No Olympus.
