My man, this is a great video on using OCF for beginners/budget setups. But you could get a Godox V1 + flash trigger for less than $300. You could get a whole ass Amaran 300C for less than $600. There's absolutely no reason to spend $900 on a speedlite lol
I run the Godox V1 and AD100 on most shoots but I've used the Profoto a few times now and the light quality is different. Especially when it comes to editing. The profoto just has a cleaner and more consistent look, but for me is wasn't enough difference to justify the cost difference. My gear is in and out of a motorcycle. It gets bashed around quite a bit and it makes more sense to replace the Godox at it's price (which I still haven't needed to do yet) instead of the Profoto.
Yeah godox is much cheaper and the final result is kinda the same. The thing is, working with big brands requires consistency. A Godox V1 is not reliable, it breaks easily compared to a Profoto. A professional photographer can't take that change.
I laughed the moment he took the profoto speedlight before the first 2 minutes in a video called "The SECRET to making LOW BUDGET shoots look EXPENSIVE".
@@Gcollie3810 please prove ''cleaner and more consistent look'' I dare you :)) ! It's all about light quality, shape and size. Prove me wrong! I get the difference between profoto and godox from a build quality standpoint but if we are talking about the effect of light....
This is the exact type of set up I used back in my Night Club photography days (2012 - 2016). At the time, I used Nikon camera with speedlight and my Cactus V5 Transceivers. I had my camera in my right hand and the flash in my other hand. This method made my photos pop and made me stand out then the regular Nightclub photographer's with the flash mounted on top of the camera.
These flashes are great - but - the Good V1 is as good at a fraction of the price - you could buy 4 Godox units for the price of 1 Profoto! Sold all my Profoto equipment just for that reason - and I have never regretted it!
@@gablebrandonyep. I have the v860iii which is the same flash just rectanglular instead of round head, and it's worked great. I'm not a pro, but I know plenty of pros use godox for events and weddings. For $1000 with godox you could literally get a kit from b and h that's 2x ad100w, an ad300pro, three light stands, a couple cheap modifiers and a case. That's like an entire 3 light set up for the price of one flash.
yes, this. I've been PRO for almost 20 years shooting events and portraits. Profoto is great for many things but it's not what the small, independent creators should be using. Godox (of Flashpoint from Adorama) is 99% the same thing for a 25% the price.
I have the godox v1 and will definitely be experimenting with how you used it off camera! So far it's been great on camera for covering events and providing a high key look but for outdoor daytime shoots and giving a commercial look, I wonder if the quality of light is good enough 🤔
I use the v1. It never fails me. But i guess the profoto is amazing as it should be for the money. One remark on your video.. if you clip on the diffuser and use it outside. It is not gonna be softer. Its only gonna cut of the light out put.
Spot on with the lighting techniques will def affect final output. Expensive camera bodies only fastens photo capture these days. I use my original Canon EOS M plus some Nikkors and two AD200, banger shots. Clients really don't know if it was shot in an old DSLR or new mirrorless camera. Color, lighting and composition matters to them.
Two ad300s and a v1 are in my ‘mobile kit’ along with my gfx. Shaping artificial light with practicals is what the actual art of commercial photography is
I’ve picked up the godox AD200 Pro which is 200w/s vs 76w/s it’s more than twice as powerful and 1/3 the cost of the A10. But it’s not a speed light so you’ll always need a stand or spare hand. Some Profoto and Godox lights are basically the same, I’ve also used my godox trigger to trigger Profoto lights. The guy who ran the studio I was renting told me they’re sort of the same company but different distributors. The other caveat being the Godox warranty is not based in the UK so getting things sent off and fixed is more of a pain.
I would be really curious to see anything empirical that supports Godox flashes having measurably different results compared to Profoto lights. Not sure what the need is for a $1k speedlite. You could get an AD400 + trigger for less than that and fight the sun pretty hard
Bro, big fan of yours BIG FAN. But the Godox V1 does the job for a fraction of the price, most photographers aren’t at the point where they’d want to spend 1k on a speed light. Also tbh there’s only one speed light really worth over $500 and that ain’t it. The v1 pro is at 320 and it’s the for the win
Got lots of money? buy profoto, super good stuff. Not super rich? Get godox, will do the job and then some, incredible stuff, the V1 is a exact copy of this and its amazing.
I can't seem to find any material that speaks to the differences between this on the Godox V1 - any insights? There has to be something for it to be worth 5 times the price.
Yup - 1 thing - the Profoto name! Def not worth it - go with the Godox - you can buy 4 for the price of 1 Profoto. Light is light - and tiny strobes like this are all interchangeable.
Hello sir @GakuLange. what is your export settings for youtube videos. I shoot with a7siii 422 10 bit. what export settings should i use so that i get crisp videos for youtube. Waiting for a reply. Thank you.
l love your videos, you seem super good at explaining and super down to earth guy. Thank you for that! That was a great video that I also need to work on. I’m a photographer and filmmaker, and a couple of days ago I made a video myself, if you’re interested in sharing your opinion about my video and filmmaking skills I would very much appreciate you guys. Thank you. :))
@7:33 - Why does he need to "Copy" the settings from the digital into the Nikon F100 film camera? Can't this flash calculate exposure correctly without being tested and measure light on a digital camera? ..... sounds weird....
@@URBONED But if it's a modern TTL Flash it should be good to meter "automatically" from the F100. Not manually. Didn't try flash on film but I guess there's a mode you can set the flash and the F100 to that will create a balances exposure
alot of people equate ttl to using the automatic mode on your camera. its just less control i guess. Plus idk if the flash would communicate with the camera. Itd be dependent on the hot shoe mount of the f100. All the different camera manufacturers have slightly different pin connections on their hot shoe mounts. thats why theres multiple versions of speedlights to meet the need of communication between camera and flash for ttl.
@@lelandbutler7406 Since I use film only, it's hard to practice. No real time feedback of if you've done something good or not, so I find it hard to "practice" before a real shoot. That's why I hope some mode like TTL could just do the work for me, as I just need well exposed [not overblown / underexposed images]. No to fancy request. I wonder how flash performs shooting straight into the subject vs. reflecting it out of something [indoors or outdoors. I understood the falsh fires twice...first for exposure, second time for the shot itself. I wondered how the flash/ camera knows where the flash is aimed at [cause there will be a difference between direct aim and reflective aiming at the scene.....]
@@eladbari i mean your other option is a light meter. i think ttl meters off of whatever camera setting u have for metering so if youre bouncing flash off of a wall or something, youll probably have to do some exposure compensation on the flash. that probably doesnt apply to your cause youre using film. a light meter or learning all the stops and making educated guesses would be your best bet i think. good luck.
What a dumb titled for an ad , what low budget and what pictures ? The ones you took in the snow doesn’t come close to the ones at the start of this clip 😅 and is not budget when you end overpaying for one single flash without the receiver you could just buy a unleash the badger flash light and ps you don’t say sacrifice you say “ investment”

There is no way someone is going to pay $1000 for a speed light. The V1 does the job just as well for $200
You can get a strobe & modifier with that budget.
yep godox lights are a beast!
Yep 2 ad600 pros profit is unreal godox is incredible I have 2 v1s ad200 pro which is twice as powerful as this
Professional do. Godox is more for entry level users, as for reliability and usability Profoto is the choice most professional do.
Define professional. @@94Ninsound94
Great video! Flash / lighting is def one of the best "Investments" you can make into yourself and your kit.
Why is your videos soo smooth? No jitters. What frame rate do you use? What's the secret?
2560x1440@30fps
You can see the statistics by right clicking on the video, and press the button "Stats for nerds"

This stuff is gold. Worth mentioning the godox but if you’re getting paid may as well go with the pro level one
I would totally buy your sound effects and risers! Great great edit overall!
Great video, this video came at the perfect timing for me!
your photos are on firee!! can u do a tutorial video on how to color grade
Goated video bro, love your works! Also you were working alongside Divison? thats amazing
bro, we nedd to see you setup studio, vibe>>>

Hahahaha, the secret to making low budget shoots look expensive = buy the most expensive hot shoe flash in the world. Pure gold.
Studio backdrop is looking lit brother ✨
will this also works with the godox v1? this profoto is out of budget gang lmaooo
The tile of the video is "make low budget shot looks expensive " well for a 1000 dollar flash that defeat the purpose of the title
But if you actually attract a higher end client, that job alone should pay for the flash.
@@gablebrandon "if"
Wow, 76w/s flash! Just like any other top tier flash model from Sony Nikon canon Godox? this level of knowledge should tell you something
I would be really curious to see anything empirical that supports Godox flashes having measurably different results compared to Profoto lights. Not sure what the need is for a $1k speedlite. You could get an AD400 + trigger for less than that and fight the sun pretty hard
I love my godox v1 but great video
Hey man great tutorial! Makes me inspired to use flash with my Nikon F80. I wanna ask what trigger did you use for your Nikon F100?
Bro, big fan of yours BIG FAN. But the Godox V1 does the job for a fraction of the price, most photographers aren’t at the point where they’d want to spend 1k on a speed light.

More tutorials on flash please 😭🙏🏼!!
With and without examples would have been great. Other than that, great video
My method aswell but with the Godox Ad100 Pro, its amazing!
Do more BTS of flash photography
Did you move to canon!
can we see more behind the scenes from the clips you showed in the beginning?
Got lots of money? buy profoto, super good stuff. Not super rich? Get godox, will do the job and then some, incredible stuff, the V1 is a exact copy of this and its amazing.
bruh this does not count as low budget

I'm not sure, but maybe the durability and perhaps it's weather sealed? He seemed comfortable using it out in the snow after all.
Godox ad200 pro
This small Profoto flashes are overrated. Godox gives exactly same results.
Great tips but for the job godox lights are good value for money
Great Video
Hello sir @GakuLange. what is your export settings for youtube videos. I shoot with a7siii 422 10 bit. what export settings should i use so that i get crisp videos for youtube. Waiting for a reply. Thank you.
I do wonder how it compares to a wireless studio flash like a neewer vision
[talks about budget friendly setups] [proceeds to using profoto]
Great piece of gear I personally love them😂
intro song with the strings? so pretty
Ad 400 wpuld do the job
Hello! If you don't mind would you tell what font do you use for the "Professional Quality" text at 1:44. Thanks in advance!
what camera lens is he using?
thanks for the vid but it's overpriced, Godox V1 can do it for sure
Hi! all of this are in your masterclass?
Does anyone have any on camera light recommendations for event videography?
Not a fan of that harsh flash shadow in the first set of photos in the snow. Eck
Bro is a netflix robot 😍
How to make low budget shots look expensive…. BUY A $1,200 flash…. 😂
What fisheye lens was being used here?
What is the best, A10 or A2 ? :)
Nice Advertising
good stuff
Lesgoooi😩😩😩😩
Hey, What lens did you use for that shoot
Personally I don't like the way it looks from your examples. I think natural light looks better.
AD 200 or Wescott FJ200 blows this away and the Godox is pretty small and rugged and has a million modifiers. MUCH cheaper.
Even the fj80
in the field LMAO i feel ya
Does someone have the lens ref ?

Wescott FJ80 has more wattage for a third of the price.
