I broke it in on a cropped sensor digital just so I could see some immediate results and adjust my guesses for a little bit before switching to my AE 1

      @@TIPSinc01 I will! I’m extremely experienced with godox flashes in general and I actually have used my v1 on my AE-1 to shoot film with amazing results both bounce flash and direct, but what im finding is that 1) I don’t want to pack a V1 in my film bag when im just having fun, it’s a lightweight setup the way I have it, and 2) no one notices im shooting film when I do and as im doing it at weddings im paid to shoot at I thought it would be cool to add the retro feel so that people are having the same amount of fun with it as me. I shoot Polaroid too and I’ve noticed a HUGE difference in the responses to my SX-70 than my more modern Polaroids because people visually see the vintage gear and my AE-1 is beautiful but it’s all black and looks like a mirrorless Sony lol

    Pretty cool looking flashes, esp the senior. In both models, I like the variable power settings, and the prices. But no swivel or bounce flash capability is a deal-breaker for me. I see you used off-camera flash, though, so you must’ve done that in manual mode. I assume you can’t do off-camera in auto mode?

    • @TIPSinc01
      @TIPSinc01  Рік тому

      Yeah they look cool indeed, but they don’t have the swivel option as you say. That’s why I wanted to use the sync cord with it. I don’t think the auto mode will work, or works properly when you have it not directly on the camera. But I’m not sure because I haven’t tested that out.
