This is the exact kind of video I was looking for. Nobody else seems to be talking about on location lighting like this.

@ClarkSandersPhotography Год назад

I have the Octa S and love it! Small, very portable, easy to set up and take down and provides great quality of light!!

@BuhdFrankDaTank93 11 месяцев назад

I recommend the deflector plate for it, makes it even better !

@bb3784b Год назад

I like the octa box, I have one of the larger ones, but the umbrella setups look like a good option to add to the kit. Thanks, great video.

@trevtog Год назад

Another great video! Ashley, I love your presentation style and it always makes me smile when I see your smiling face on screen. The Halos is a very versatile modifier that works great for a lot of my portrait work and I use it with a variety of lights.

@boatkid888 Год назад

This was very helpful! Thank You!

@clarkconway8796 Год назад

Hi Ashley! I like the Rapid Box Switch Octa-S best but the Halo looks pretty cool as well. Nice video, very well done!

thank you for your valuable information & tips

@kirkdarling4120 Год назад

I have used Apollo modifiers for over a decade on location because of how quickly they deploy and how compactly they fold.

@barkyvonschnauzer2188 7 месяцев назад

That model was a trooper, we hope you paid her well. I love the 25" set up for on the go shoots, very ez to use and very portable and lightweight

Hi, Luv all of these boxes. I met you at wppi in Las Vegas in 2023. great video BTW.

@JohnChubbSr 11 месяцев назад

These look great! What determines your ISO with all the power while using the FJ 200?

@TheDominicballard96 Год назад

Recently I've been using hard light and I love the look of it. Don't be afraid to use hard light.

@kirkdarling4120 Год назад

Yes, the difference in look, as an adjunct to the sun, is minimal to clients...but the difference in handling outdoors is immense.

@TheDominicballard96 Год назад

I love the look of hard light

@EPXPhotography Год назад

Yes. Hard light is the way to go outdoors. I'm a solo photographer and generally never have assistance with holding strobes. I lost a strobe as a new photographer using modifiers outside. Never again

@doodledidit Год назад

I have the Octa S but have been eyeing the M or L because i feel sometimes I want a larger light sorce.

Great Video

@WestcottLighting 8 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it

@mikeo7781 Год назад

Thanks so much for the video. I just purchased the FJ400 Backpack kit. The strobe's bigger than I thought it'd be so I'm probably going to order a FJ200 too. Looking forward to playing with it all!

@EPXPhotography Год назад

I have both. The FJ200 backpack saves your back when hiking, but both are awesome.😂

@mikeo7781 Год назад

@@EPXPhotography Thanks for the reply! I ended up ordering a FJ200, a stand, and the quick mount S-bracket on Friday morning. Westcott blew my mind when everything showed up to my house on Saturday afternoon!

@WestcottLighting Год назад

Glad everything arrived quickly, thanks for your support!!

@stanobert3475 11 месяцев назад

Your videos are excellent! What modifiers or umbrellas would you use for taking photos of a large group outdoors?

@WestcottLighting 11 месяцев назад

Usually 7ft umbrella are the go to for that! We actually just a did a video on that here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1OK9oaF0F7Q.html

@billjohnson3323 11 месяцев назад

Thanks Ashley, I have a Westcott Bob Davis Perfect Pair. Also I have an old Octa S designed for speedlites. What is needed to adapt these to the Westcott FJ 200s 0r 400s. Thanks.

@WestcottLighting 11 месяцев назад

The Perfect Pair are umbrella based modifiers, so they can attach to the umbrella mounts on the FJ400 or FJ200. The older Speedlite Rapid Box does not work with strobes, which is why we came up with the Rapid Box Switch! The Rapid Box Switch Octa-S would allow you to use it with a speedlight or strobe! www.fjwestcott.com/products/rapid-box-switch-octa-s

good job

@EngineFD223 3 месяца назад

Are you using something inside of the Apollo Orb to angle it down that much? I have one but always feel like it’s so restrictive to angle downward. I usually have to break out the Westcott Mini-Boom Arm & Weight Bag which does not make it ideal for on location shooting.
