We will shooting a school event soon where we are looking to sell the footage to parents via a pay-per-view type platform, where they pay to get access to the performance which they can watch as many times as they like. I see that Vimeo do this service but wondered if there were any other...

Have just started out creating films on my Sony a9, and wondered, for those of you that shoot video do you use an external field monitor either on the hotshoe or clamped to the tripod etc? If so are there any you can recommend? Had a budget of £300 or under really, but see there are quite a...

In the market for one of these to hold a godox ad400 and foldable dish. Ideally with a boom that has a good reach. I've got Lencarta heavy duty air stands already but would they support a boom arm ok (with sand bags)? Or should I be looking at C stands? Boom arm wise I found this Avenger...

Thanks Owen! Lencarta look like a good bet to me.

I'm after a foldable portable beauty dish that is quick and easy to set up and although the Joel Grimes Westcott one looks good but at £320, I wondered if there are more wallet friendly alternatives for Bowens mount? Thanks!

I'm looking to shoot more on location soon and want to start exploring HSS off cam flash options to use with my Sony A9. From my old canon kit I have a 580ex11 and Yongnuo 622c triggers, and these work fine with Sony for off cam flash, but have read that HSS capability doesn't. I've had a...

Thanks Owen much appreciated! Think I will inevitably invest in a HSS lamp and transmitter this year.

Thanks guys, managed to find a dark room to use in the end but good to know potential ways of dealing with situations like this!

Thanks. I can't get HSS with my set up, 1/250 is my max.

I've got to set up in a brightly lit corridor tomorrow with my portable backdrop for a portrait shoot (it's basically the only area I can do it in) and will want to kill all ambient light. Using one lencarta SF300 in a 90cm octa, and usually shoot at 1/125 at f11 iso100. Will I need to up...

Yeah! So great to get help on nice forums like this from folk more experienced than me!

as an update it seems by putting lamp on full power, iso 100 with ss at 1/1000 or there abouts, and f1.8 I'm achieving what I wanted without banding etc.

Of course was just about to type now to say thanks, have just been spending the last few hours experimenting with what I have

Thanks Garry much appreciated I'll try that, and if no joy I'll ask them what trigger will do the job.

Hi guys I'm using a Sony A9 with a Lencarta wavesync 2.4 trigger/receiver along with their SF300 lights. I want to play around using an f stop around f2.0 for some shallow dof portraits, is this possible to achieve HSS with the above set up? Lencarta say the SF300's are capable of HSS, but I...
