Flexibility is very important to me. Thing happen that professional photographers should be able to adapt to. I like the idea of being able to use a premium phone with a premium light once ametuers see the price of the B10 I am almost positive they will close the page, in most cases anyway....
Additionally for run and gun shooters having a minimalist kit for shooting content for maybe your instagram, this works great.
I would personally rather have a full frame camera with lens options, but I would definitely like to have this as an option!
Wonder what it looks like in the studio🤔?
Fstoppers show raws , clown
How to connect flash for iPhone
Why not frame her between the two windows iso of just orange wall
Can you use 2 lights?
The model Maya is so gorgeous and graceful!
Can we talk about how beautiful the model is?🥰
Crazy gorgeous
And she seems like a very nice person too 😍
Oh yes, she's really beautiful. Can't keep eyes off her. She seems to have a very pleasant personality as well, bubbly at times.
Jaw droppingly stunning
She's so classic and elegant
I’m glad they used a brown skin model. Exposing for the sky and dress is one thing, but adding the contrast in the dress against darker skin required more attention. Good job!
it doesn't, and you are a racist, but you don't know it yet.
A turning point in photography. I hear the arguments, but they don’t defer me from being interested. This is the beginning of greater flexibility. A shutterless camera with the ability to synchronize strobe at all speeds. Another tool added with fewer limitations. I feel good about where this is headed.
Every photographer should watch this. It’s not the camera (it’s not even a camera) it’s capturing beauty and what a beauty to capture!
Cool except I don't have $3.4k for a light kit
give it a few months. godox will be out with their version of it.
I tried to use White or silver big reflector. Somehow it works and costs only about 20€
@@joashmanning godox already has a version.
While Profoto gear is indeed expensive, the price of one B10 unit ($1,600) is not out of line with what a photographer would have paid for his iPhone 11 Pro Max ($1,000-$1,500 depending on storage).
@@joashmanning It's not a Fstoppers video if the equipment does not cost month/few months of salary :D But hey, the technology is here so it's matter of time when we some cheaper alternatives.
Wow that's pretty awesome guys!
Also, hands down best model I've seen on your channel so far; so happy and enthusiastic, rather than looking bored like they wanna get the hell outta there asap 😂 Love it!
What a fantastic shot at 8:44. I will only buy a flash for my phone if I can keep it in my pocket just like my phone, but this is certainly a step in the right direction. What I love about Fstoppers is that you get to learn a lot from their videos. Great work guys.
12:49 - LOL at arms gestures while model was trying to view the shot on the phone.
Profoto C1 .....
Add lightroom mobile and you can make adjustments on the spot AND sync it to the Adobe cloud instantly!
You can just have the iPhone automatically sync everything your shoot to iCloud. No need for Lightroom. If you’re sharing your photo stream in the Apple ecosystem, you could have an assistant anywhere in the world instantly accessing and downloading the images and processing them in any program he/she wishes.
@@JohnRicard That requires an iphone, and icloud does not upload full resolution or RAW does it? I have a Samsung S20. With Adobe CC, it can be ANY device that your camera can wifi or Bluetooth to. And then, your assistant, anywhere in the world, can still have access to RAW files
@@jscottbradshaw Believe it or not, iCloud does actually upload the RAW file.
The energy from that beautiful model is intoxicating. That’s the type of model most photographers love working with.
I said this a year ago that they were going to make our strobes work with our cell phones this is awesome
Lol yeah Bluetooth and WiFi has been around for a long time now, really feel like this should of happened a long time ago along with Bluetooth on tv's so you can sync your phone or headphones to it so you don't disturb people at night.
Don't get me wrong, this is really cool.
I just can't see this being useful in the real world outside of UA-cam Showcase ever. People who don't have a professional camera won't buy professional strobes and use them with their phones and professionall photographers who own strobes like this will not use their phone instead of their pro camera. The only use case I see is like behind the scenes social media type content, because you save one step of sending photos from the camera to the phone (but I think I would still rather use the camera shots).
I guess it could be useful if you showed up to a shoot and forgot your camera's memory cards or batteries
@@thatcherfreeman, true - but in that case I would really have to reconsider my choice of profession - and most probably I'd die from embarassement before I'd take the first shot. It still hurts my brain to think I would take bridal pictures with anything else but the best camera at hand - not only for flash sync reasons, but also obviously because of dof concerns - I know, phones can simulate aperture digitally, but I rather buy a nice new lens than an iPhone for my professional needs. Phone pics are reserved for those moments when I really did not bring anything else...
And I think the surprise would be HOW big business this "The only use case I see is like behind the scenes social media type content" will be. ;-)
@@JanThomasPettersen even social media youtubers don't do their video with a phone... at least not the high traffic ones.
@@ayayoutuber ...also strobes do not help you, even if you do video with your phone 😅
"Hey, I brought my $3,400 light kit, but - oops! - I forgot my camera. No problem, got my phone right here..."
Hahahahahaa....I know right
What I cannot believe is the incredibly high noise at ISO32...
Christian Comes the sensor is tiny...still, I get your point. Imagine having the option of having a native ISO of 32 on a full frame. That would be amazing :)
TINY sensor
@@WhittyPics sure, it is 9x smaller than MFT, so about 3 stops, it should be ISO 32 Iphone = ISO 288 in MFT, and my friend, that picture at 11:17 has TERRIBLE noise vs. MFT ISO 320. So I think that there must be some Apple "magic" shadow recovery or whatever that is making things worse than they need to be
ISO 32 wasn't the setting for the evening shot, was it?
Jairaj Patil i thoughy yes, but i could be wrong
Fstoppers original videos are the best. Awesome work Patrick.
this app didnt support after iphone 11 and later models..
so disappointed godox ..
please elt me know whe n theres update ..
Great video Patrick. The technology just keeps getting better.Also, Maya is delightful.
it's all good as a test to show the potential for future products but, in practicality, if i can carry a flash that big, then i can also carry a camera with interchangable lenses.
Pretty awesome. And cool to think the husband will be surprised with some cool wedding photos
If you can carry all that probe, you can carry a dslr and have much better images
exactly what i thought
Indeed. This would be useful as a backup though
Unconventional but would be kinda cool to be able to like airdrop some photos to the client immediately on site and then get them the edited/color graded/printed photos later
Wow. Always wished phones could do strobe photography. Wish this works with Android as well and is implemented by other manufacturers too.
Lovely model and superb portraits.
excited for godox to bring this to us for the low 🙌🏾
A lot of photographers are pissed off at this technology. I say this is awesome.
I definitely see other companies create strobes to sync with cell phones
That first dress twirl against the red background is just 🔥🔥🔥🧯8:43 coming prom a phone!! Print large and hang that on a wall. The iphone fell apart in low light. Blotchy mess and noise everywhere. But a fantastic proof of concept!
I’ve been working with just my iPhone and m6 markII and most of my shots look just like they would come out of the camera ! Impressive and btw beautiful shots ! She’s gorgeous
Nice to see you back Patrick! Yes, all the techie types are saying it’s not good enough... but check out her reaction to the photos!
This is amazing. I use Profoto lights (B1 and B2). When I saw that the C1 was for the cellphone I thought it was rather silly (especially at $700), but this really makes me want to go out and get a B10.
Seeing how Godox's attempt with A1 and the app just wasn't working after iOS update. it only raises the question, how much of the flash manufacturers will go on to keeping the app functioning condition? and will they come out with one time purchase app? or monthly occurring in-app purchase to keep the develop cost covered??
Good to see you back Patrick :)
With all that sunlight and powerful strobe, I was hoping to see how far you can get with the 2x camera shooting at ISO 32. The ultra wide had incredibly noise shadows.
that's still a very expensive setup and that model is drop dead gorgeous!!!
9:06 that set is so nice I love fun photos like that.. That being said it's a really cool feature. But if you're lugging around a flash set up might as as well bring your camera.
Those photos look awesome and the bride is beautiful! No need for a 100Mpixel picture for instagram with that technology. Thanks for the video Fstoppers
This video made me so happy ❤️. No doubt phones will be able to do what cameras are doing now someday soon. Sooner than we think.
Now all we need is for Godox or Aputure to come up with a similar version that isn't insanely expensive
still waiting :)
@@kocialagency You can shot ur AD600 with the X2T with Bluetooth
As far as I know godox can already do this. What u just need to have is one of their approx 50 dollar with Bluetooth trigger that will connect to the smartphone. Then u can use to with any wireless godox flash
If I need to carry a strobe, I'm going to be carrying a good camera already.
Thank you :)
I was going to comment that.
exactly
It’s a10 compatible now
Yup. Let alone afford a Profoto.
Ah, so it’s through the Profoto app. Which I’m assuming can’t do Portrait mode? And does the app support raw? I’d hope so.
It can do raw and jpeg. I’m not sure on Portrait mode since it’s through Profoto app. I have an iPhone 7. Can test that feature.
I’ve had the B10+ for a year and I had no idea it could be like this. I look forward to the next iPhone version as I have the X currently.
Oh wow that is great! Crazy all the things we can do with our phones nowadays including producing pretty decent pictures compared to the older film point & shoot cameras. But to add a strobe syncronization with the phone that is very cool. Yes, many hardcore photographers are going to dislike this concept but to many their phones are their cameras of choice so might as well embrace it. Thanks Patrick Hall for all the great content you and the everyone at FSTOPPERS produce for us!
Good to see you back Patrick. Great video. Beautiful model.
1) The model is absolutely stunning!
2) Mobile phones with flash, will only get better. IMO, this is a glimpse of the future of photography.
Unpaid photography maybe.
@@travis8665 I would say paid photography. You factor in how powerful image editing software with AI is getting, and you would not be able to tell the difference. Matter of fact, in some cases you can not tell the difference now.
and pro cameras will be getting 5x times better as well. Right now we are in the golden age of mirrorless cameras with Nikon, Sony and Canon releasing some really strong and impressive mirrorless cameras that easily destroys an iphone 12.
@@harryvuemedia5106 if I take a picture with an iphone with OCF, and a 100MP camera with OCF and show you both pictures online, would you be able to tell the difference?
@@Demas242 yup! i can tell the difference since i own an a7Riii and have use my friend's a7Riv so I do pixel peak a lot. Besides that, I am also a videographer and photographer. The only time it will be hard to tell the difference is when im looking at both images from a smartphone. The difference is HUGE and you would not dare show up to a $3,500 wedding gig using 2 iphones to take photos. I use 3 cameras for weddings, 2 sony a7iii for candid photos and the a7Riii for portraits and group shots.
This is really amazing the fact that can you do this with a smartphone. Not that many people ever would but that’s missing the point of this video. Technology is a wonderful thing sometimes and the fact that these images came from a smartphone and an expensive flash is pretty neat.
Nice,. I was expecting that you will have some pick tires taken with the normal camera app , and compete what computational HDR could do va the strobe.
Can someone explain to me why some people dislike this video? gosh. Super impressed
i think this is a great idea.. sure right now its not ideal to have such expensive strobes when using an iPhone camera, but think about a few years from now... this feature will be able to come down to consumer level prices and soon you can buy a simple strobe for like$80 and be able to play with light on your phone. This will open up so many other possibilities to those who are just starting to learn photography.
Some people are missing the idea of this... personally I don't think this was designed for people getting into photography or to use primarily. If you want to get something done quickly this is a neat alternative to bringing a whole range of lenses and equipment. At least I'd use it at a test for my main camera rather than waste memory card space shooting high Megapixel RAW
Waiting for analog from Godox for Iphone and Android😂
Godox X2T has bluetooth, but sync speed is 1/30 max as I've tried.
@@Justas49 I know, here it's just app.
Godox has the A1 Smartphone-Flash which can trigger most Godox flashes from an iOS-Device. Unfortunately though it only works with their Photo-app which is kinda limited.
That kind of thing GODOX Do😄😄😄! They actually simplify things in a cheap way
Godox A1
In case I missed it. What sync trigger & what app? Can I sync to any existing strobe I already have?
Awesome video.. I was actually surprised by the quality of photos you were able to pull off from the App/Flash/iPhone.. Tks for sharing!
Patrick ...... Beautiful photos, a wonderful explanation and a great tutorial. Thank you
I think this just shows how important lighting is and how exciting it would be if Google or Apple came out with a full frame camera.
Please no
That is pretty incredible. I am quite impressed
Wow. She is just so stunning.
It looks just absolutely gorgeous. Very well done.
please have a video where you explain iso and aperture for taking pictures . because after lights I think these are the most important things to know
I really don't think you can lose with that model. She's beautiful.
Neewer, please give us a flash trigger with Bluetooth connectivity, thank you!
I think it would be more suitable for phone photographers if you could use a Speedlight instead of a full strobe.
What app were you using?
I think it’s so cool that you can just pay around and capture an image with your phone. This would be GREAT for bts on a shoot when you want to capture something to post right there in that moment. The strobe is expensive but is amazing worth it for a pro.
other reviewers said that it is actually not the strobe, it is short burst of the LED? is that so?
I enjoyed this video but I really miss all Coronavirus related videos that both you and Lee Morris posted every day in Humacao PR. I absolutely love and value those kind of conversations about every topic. You tube needs more videos like that. I REALLY THINK you guys did a great job and I am waiting to watch the next one about this current crazy 2020. As Lee Morris said once, you guys got few views but very valuable ones.
That is pretty cool, works like a real camera, but most people that use their iphone to take photos are not going to buy a flash worth more than their phone. That is the kicker, so this technique is only for pros that have the extra equipment. Which brings us back to, you need good lighting to get awesome shots.
They are still going to have to find a way to link lenses up to the phones. I know they have lenses for cell phones but nothing like the 70 to 200mm etc. Camera companies are going to have to step up their game. Iphones can shoot 4k so can gopro. Camera companies are just pushing into this. They are going to start falling behind if they dont pick up the pace
This link is the link you are looking for when it comes to longer zoom lenses for your smartphone

@@CallMeRabbitzUSVI lmao. Well goddamn. Whats after cell phones. Those censors elon is creating. Take photo upload to social media. 😅
Absolutely stunning model... regardless, the images turned out great! How far back in the Profoto family does this go? Does it only work with the B10's?
you could do the same with the most cheaper godox this is a pure commercial video promoting Profoto, when Godox do exactly the same since at least 2 years
I trust you are writing this comment on the cheapest cell phone or cheapest Chromebook that you can buy. Right?
@@JohnRicard Amen. Lol
@@JohnRicard you want discuss about Light or cell Phones? they are different things but i don't know if you can see the difference?
@@malsvp I don't understand what you are saying here. You had written that it makes no sense buying the Profoto because you could get a cheaper unit from Godox. I countered by saying I hope you apply that same logic to your cell phone and that you are not using an expensive iPhone. Not sure what you are saying here in response.
I am wondering: Usually the pictures from the modern smart phones look so "good" because of the computational photography. So the iphone is putting together multiple pictures for best exposure and to avoid noise. How is it now with this profoto app or lightroom mobile: Here you set the exposure for one picture that is captured, no improvement through the processor. Do these pictures still look as "good" as the ones from the native camera app? Even when using a flash, the small sensor now really should be a problem without all these artificial improvments?
Photos look great. I wonder how this would look on 1phone 14 pro
Wow, those are really good and I love the lighting.
Godox have done this with their lights for ages through their app by connecting to their x2 trigger by Bluetooth to trigger their lights and flash units or by using their A1.
Does is sync the flash? Because triggering is a totally different animal. If it’s jus triggering and adjusting settings all of them (Broncolor, Godox ,etc) hace it.
Jaime Duncan it does when connect to the x2 and A1 it’s just like using Nikon cls you set the flash power and settings in the app take the photo and either the x2 or the a1 triggers and fires the flash units. So your phone is kinda like a main commander through the app. Make sense ?
@@grimlightwildoutdoors Yes, it's not what this video shows. That is what Broncolor had for millennia in terms of technology.
That is awesome. It also helps a lot that Patrick is a great photographer that does super work.
👍🏾👏🏾Great job! Images were gorgeous. Thank you sir.
Hi, they don’t support the iPhone anymore or don’t sell the product, any alternatives? Thx / Love
This really is a game changer! Incredible.
I like how Lume Cubes have been allowing this function for so long now and Profoto finally offers it as well. The cool thing about Lume Cubes though is they are tiny and super strong so it's very easy to keep a lot of them in your pockets and just grab them when you need them. Anyways. Well done Profoto!
Lume cubes are led constant lights if I remember correctly. They can’t over power the sun. -P
Fstoppers that’s correct :) I didn’t say they are better or stronger though. My point is it’s nice to see Profoto integrating this feature :) not many people who only use their iPhones for photography will own a Profoto light so this is basically a nice add on for mostly professional photographers only. Luke cubes on the other hand are affordable so I believe it’s more interesting to general people as well.
great review! will be going for the b10plus...
They need to make all wireless strobes iPhone WiFi app ready. This is the future. If you need to go light or can’t take your higher end camera this would be a great solution and with the high quality image of the new iPhones and going forward, this seems like the next logical progression in photography.
Nice photos and I love that flash. Clicked on the link to it and almost choked at the price! Great video. Quick question, does the light and app work with android? PEACE from ATL ✊🏾📸📽
Product shoot for social networks. Lightbox with one light. My only idea to use it.
Garbid Jup!
Does this mean we may be able to shoot strobe on a mirror less in electronic shutter not mechanical shutter?
What about shooting on auto will it automatically adjust exposure? It will be great to see the difference between shooting on auto and manual. Cheers!
Gosh the model is very beautiful and stunning and her smile is gorgeous.
The new iPhone Flash/ Light meter with image capture.
sorry to bother you but i have a question if i bought godox x2t trigger can i make it work with my smartphone to flash my godox ad300 ?
Is there anything decent to use an iPhone with a speedlight?
Those pictures are fantastic
Nothing beats sensor size & quality glass, so a smartphone will never really replace a DSLR.
But.. being able to shoot, edit and immediately share reasonably good quality images right on location at a significantly reduced cost.. how can anyone not see the potential in that?
Not everybody's looking to have their photos printed large, and most professional shots end up being shared over instagram anyway.
Try Moment Variable ND Filters with moment app and Moment Lenses
What is the cost to do this? What items are needed from Profoto?
Will this work for a Samsung Note 20 Ultra?
What tripod is that?! Been looking for a beefier tripod without jumping over to a Cstand
Beautiful model. Interesting concept. What else will the future bring?
The thing with iPhone and all high end phones are they cost as much or more then most cameras and by the looks of it you didn't have the AI for background blur on so you lost the shallow depth of field.
Great job Patrick.
Sorry. How exactly is it syncing to the strobe?? Is it through an app?
She is so pretty! Also thank you for this! So informative!
Please can share which camera app you use?
That shot is amazing
Does this app work with Android phones too and if not, is there any similar app for that?
I see a lot of comments that my Godox strobes can work with my iPhone 11 Pro Max. I’ve tried and could not get it to work.. if you have how about letting us know the procedure…. The a1 Godox gave up the ghost after IPhone 7…
Maybe a custom lens hood for the phone since its not handeling flare well
