HEDBOX RP-DC50
Smart chargers aren’t always that smart. I purchased a Hedbox RP-DC50 for my NPF batteries and thought that instead of having the same type of battery in both slots I would get a plate for my Nikon D850 batteries. Putting one of the D850 batteries in the charger and leaving it for a bit, I … Continue reading HEDBOX RP-DC50 →
Practice makes perfect
I wish I had got one of these in early 2020 rather than now in August 2022 to practice my lighting techniques with. Obviously it isn’t exactly like the real thing but having something to try out the theory on without having to worry about their reaction is a good way to hone my skills.
Phone app for lights
There is a trend for new lighting equipment to have the ability for them to be controlled via your phone. To be able to control your lights standing next to your camera rather than having to physically access your lights, especially if you have taken time to position the light at a precise angle is … Continue reading Phone app for lights →
High end gear
I was watching this YouTube video by MarkusPix and it made me question my current obsession with high end equipment. If you scroll through the articles on here it is all about the top end expensive kit and very little about the entry level products that my wallet would appreciate. First of all I have … Continue reading High end gear →
Bye bye DSLR
The talk of the town has been that Nikon is shutting up shop on the DSLR market. There are many clickbait commentators saying that this is the end of the line for the company. This video from Engadget is a much more balanced view of the situation. I am well aware that my next camera … Continue reading Bye bye DSLR →
Unboxing – Profoto A2
My Profoto A2 has arrived and it is tiny. It does look like it is the same size as the picture on the box and weighs like nothing when holding it with either my B10 or B10 Plus in my other hand. Unlike the B10 or B10 Plus the A2 doesn’t come with a front … Continue reading Unboxing – Profoto A2 →
Profoto A2
Profoto announced the A2 mono light in this press release today. I’m pretty excited about this light because it ticks a lot of boxes for me. The form factor is the same as the B10 lights I own but in a much smaller size. It would have been nice if this light took the Sony … Continue reading Profoto A2 →
Unboxing – Dedolight DLED4-D
Having got the Rotolight NEO 3 I knew that I needed to get a hard LED light. So I decided to get a Dedolight DLED4-D. The light is small and can be run off V mount batteries. I was looking at the Litepanels Sola 4+ Daylight Fresnel but it is way too big for my … Continue reading Unboxing – Dedolight DLED4-D →
Rotolight NEO 3 in flash mode
The problem I had with the Nikon Speedlights I own is that the colour would change from one flash fire to another. And I wondered if this was also the case with the NEO 3. Full power Half power 3000K 2810K 2809K 5500K 5745K 7086K 6500K 7043K 7060K 10000K 7021K 7150K I’m glad to say … Continue reading Rotolight NEO 3 in flash mode →
Westcott Apollo and Rotolight NEO 3
Since I have in the past tried putting the Profoto B10 lights in my Westcott Apollo light modifiers I thought I might as well see how well they work with the Rotolight NEO 3. With a much smaller form factor there is no issue with it in the Apollo Medium. Neither is there a problem … Continue reading Westcott Apollo and Rotolight NEO 3 →
