    For those that are interested my camera settings were - f/4.5, 1/200, ISO 100. I don't have the individual strobe power settings but the visual breakdown should give you all you need!

    I have been struggling with my key light like this. I have the ambient killed using a similar black cloth backdrop. I try to back the subject off the backdrop about 8’ and keep the key light as close as I can, probably an extended bat length away (4’) to maximize the falloff, but the key light being pointed towards the backdrop lights it up a lot more than I want, seems more than in this example. I end up gridding it and putting it off at a 45left or right or gridding it on a boom and pointing down so it hits the ground before the backdrop.

    Great video as always! You mentioned the 200’s being good for the side/rim lights, especially if you are indoors. If you were doing mostly outdoor shoots, would you still recommend the 200’s or would you rather have the 400’s?

    • @QuantzPhoto
      @QuantzPhoto  Рік тому +1

      That's a tough but I'd probably defer to the 400's for mainly outdoor work - rather have too much power than not enough!

    • @dwanelindsey6249
      @dwanelindsey6249 Рік тому

      Thanks, I was kinda thinking the same thing, better to have more power than not enough, but always good to double check!

    And camera body you shooting with??
    When can we expect another skirt wrap around with draw string for the box design like the circular pro mod for the 3x3 and 3x4 box.

    • @QuantzPhoto
      @QuantzPhoto  Рік тому +1

      Canon R5. No plans for skirts on the square/rectangular models since most boxes can't hold their shape unless they're circular. Circles are much stronger due to the even weight distribution.

      It's a Westcott wrinkle free black backdrop.

    It's a bit off topic, but have you had any of your Westcott or Godox units fail? I used to use Buff Einstein 640s that belonged to the company I worked for and at the time they were very solid units. Now as a hobbyist I'm looking into getting into a lighting system for myself but it seems like the popular options have changed since then. I'm considering the FJ400 or AD400 pro but I've seen reviews talking about general lack or repairability outside of the warranty period. Have you had to replace parts or get any of your Westcott or Godox units serviced? I'm also considering the new Celestial from Buff since Buff is known for good repairability/customer support but whenever I check the availability they keep getting delayed by another month😂

    • @QuantzPhoto
      @QuantzPhoto  Рік тому

      No I've not had any issues thus far. If it's warranty and service you're concerned with and you're here in the US then Westcott is a no brainer.
