Neewer Q4 flash is more powerful than you think for photography

The Neewer Q4 flash strobe for photography is much more compact for travel and baggage because of the flat shape and removable handles. The battery is inside the body, not outside which helps it be even more compact. Most would automatically compare it with other 400ws photography flash strobes, but I am comparing it here with the Flashpoint Godox AD600 for a number of reasons discussed in this video. When using softboxes, it is 2 stops less than a 600, but when using a specific reflector (even with diffuser), it can be almost as powerful as a 600 (only one third of a stop difference! So if you travel a lot or do wedding photography etc, this is a great flash for outdoor portrait photography in both HSS and non HSS. It requires a Neewer flash trigger and will not work with Godox or other flash triggers. Check out this video and learn more, like how it costs almost HALF as much as comparable similar flashes!

Mate. You’re a real card. I vote your the most honest and reliable. It has helped me considerably.

@johnsaucerhunter Год назад

Good Day Mr. Markus. I think between the pricepoint and ability to lie flat in your case/bag/whatever makes the Neewer a excellent choice (especially if on a budget). But I have to say that your showing and explaining how the different reflectors can add a stop (or so) was great to learn. So apparently and old Dog (like myself), can still learn 'stuff'.... so thanks!

@Deminimis2 Год назад

Thanks Markus. I was surprised to see how much of a difference the different reflectors are.

@RafaelOrtizPhotography Год назад

Still amazes me how the bevel reflector makes a huge difference

A little work with a dremel and no more problems with mounting diffusers. Got mine at a steal for &287.

I have one and I think it is the best value for money strobe at the moment.

@DigitalSketcher Год назад

I'd be up for mixing and matching these with my AD200s and AD100s if I needed some extra power for an outdoor shoot or large group. However, the fact that it's not compatible with the Godox trigger is kind of unfortunate. I DO have an R2 receiver, so I can easily add it that way, but if I wanted an additional light (2 Neewer Q4s) I'd have to get another R2 unit. Although they're not expensive, I've just gotten spoiled on not needing to buy receivers for my light since the Godox line has them built in :D BUT for under $400...that's not a bad deal for a light that has almost the same output as the AD600. Good find!

@gottago9824 11 месяцев назад

this is my exact same reaction. If I could mix & match with my godox/flashpoint units & trigger I would put this on my "to buy" list.

@Marshallchandra 10 месяцев назад

How do you connect with R2 receiver? I don't see a hotshoe

@DigitalSketcher 10 месяцев назад

@Marshallchandra Sorry, I misspoke. I have an X1 receiver. Not sure why I kept saying R2. But regardless, the wireless triggers all have a port to connect a sync cable directly to any flash unit regardless of brand so long as you have the right size cable.

@friday3001 6 месяцев назад

Are you sure it's not compatible? It shouldn't be, but i noticed that the user interface, fhe buttons, the display, menu and even the basic reflector and the bulb are the same as the godox ad600pro.. they probably have many same components

@earlekimel7771 Год назад

When I first saw this on another RU-vid channel, I immediately wondered what you’d think. Good timing. I’d always thought Neewer was just marketing Godox gear. Clearly that’s not the case (now). Thanks for the review.

@jhoang861 Год назад

been dying to see this review on your site! The neewer light flat design caught my eyes when it came out. I like knowing i can pack several of these in one case compared to the regular bulky cylinder bodies. The only disappointment is the weight. I assumed it would be a couple of pounds lighter but i was wrong:/ But the price point is pretty awesome! Thx for the review!

I've been watching a whole bunch of your videos for video light recommendations. Boy, you reviewed a lot of them over the last year or so! Today, which affordable really bright video light are you highly recommending? I almost bought the Zhiyun Molus x100 but double checked your channel for a review first and I'm glad I didn't! Thanks!!!!

@omegaman1409 6 месяцев назад

I concur on the ad600bm I upgraded to a pro and I regret it because it has not been any better. TTL is a mix bag. Outdoors bright conditions or at night it gets thrown off. It was on sale and I sold my bm to pay the difference still wonder if the $300 was a good move. It is slightly larger and heavier. Anyways nowadays it stays home. I am using the ad100pro and ad300pro.

@petertruong83 Год назад

Thank for your effort of making this video, sound very good deal to me. Is it bowen mount? How is its awb for long period shooting?

@davidpearson2039 Год назад

Interesting stuff indeed. Got to say that aesthetically, there's something about the Neewer I don't like - but I support it's performance that really matters. But, you mentioned that some Bowens mount modifiers won't attach the the apparent Bowens mount of the Neewer - that's an issue if you have a collection of Bowens mount stuff already and you don't know what will or won't fit.

@timcox9650 Год назад

Something doesn't make sense to me. Between 5:00 and 5:45 you compare the light outputs of the two lights with the high output reflector. They are both about 32. But when you add the diffuser, the light output on the 6 is barely reduced. But on the 4 it is reduced significantly. Why would that be? Something doesn't sound right.

@MarkusPix Год назад

32 to 22.8 is still only one third of a stop, same difference

If you're already in another ecosystem, you just have to either dump it and go with these, or add them to your collection. For me, I'm going with these because I don't have any studio lights yet. I'll take the money I save and put it into a good portrait lens for my Zf.

@totochandelier 5 дней назад

if markus agrees...

@RicanStudio Год назад

For the price it's good, but I'm not buying because I don't want to buy a trigger, and then what do I do with my other Godox equipment? If the godox trigger worked with this, I might get one. Also I think that while the total volume is less, the AD600 would seem to pack more easily into equipment bags. Packing this in a suitcase is very niche. In my kit there are "places" where things go, and the Q4 dimensions seem hard to fit in... too wide one way, too tall the other.

@brentallenphotography 4 месяца назад

@corykphotography 9 месяцев назад

How well would that reflector work with the AD-B2 dual head for the Godox ad200? I recently picked up a 2nd 200 and would like to get a good output from the dual head mount. I also debated the magmod dual mount set up as well.

@paristo Год назад

Godox trigger or bust.... I don't anymore care about OEM flashes and their own triggers, and same is with almost every other. I want compatibility between OEM camera bodies, so I can just keep one flash setup and get one trigger for all. And GoDox does that best.

@MarkusPix Год назад

I agree. I just wanted to see how portable this thing was for suitcases

@ArminHirmer Год назад

@@MarkusPix for this it looks great, but as you said, 4 AD100 will do almost the same, easier to pack and one can shape the light

@paristo Год назад

@@ArminHirmer I still prefer AD200 for the compromise of power and combination to different modifiers. While color balance is not critical IMHO for portraits, it is for product photos where multiple shots needs to be combined and have same colors. AD100 is a great travel flash, but I can't really see the shape of this being so much better when it is boxy one. Great value if one just needs few flashes and doesn't require to play with multiple other devices. I don't remember now how much did the grounded glass help against hot spots in modifiers, avoiding requirement to use double diffuser fabric, but requiring special trigger is just no go for me...
