Hey there, just a quick one:
I've used Bowens 500 heads for a decade now. Flash sync speed (using Godox X-Pro and any other system really) is 1/125. If I go faster there's a subtle curtain blur at the side of the frame, about a half stop or so. darker in the last 20%.
I want to get a pair of AD400, and I believe the curtain issue is the length of flash (or maybe responsiveness) of my old Bowens heads that overlaps the shutter closing.
Has anyone direct experience with sync speed with AD400 in the studio? If you use them for location people style shoots it might sometimes be hard to notice the issue, but it's obvious on clean backgrounds in a controlled environment.
The reason is is that if I can sync at 200th (like a speed light) I definitely don't need to get AD600s to knock out the daylight.
It's really hard to Google this because everyone wants to talk about HSS.
Thanks!
Sam.
