    can I use this speedlite el-5 as a external flash for my Canon R5?

  • @Paul_Kretz
    @Paul_Kretz Годину тому

    Yes, I am laughing... Because I've done a review of *FreeWell Travel Tripod* and its low half is absolutely the same - colours, shape, stickers, mechanism, everything 😀 But the ballhead, as far as I see, has some advantages over this: additional threads for equipment, Arca Swiss plate can rotate by itself on its own axis and can be used for mounting smartphone without additional holder! I don't know who is whose copy, but it's really funny if Chinese guys sell these legs to multiple companies to mount their own ballheads and call it their unique models...

      None that I’ve ever seen. That’s the advantage of ionized Xenon gas: green/magenta isn’t an issue as it always is for LEDs. LEDs have never been white; a lot of technology is used to get them to approximate it but CRI never gets above 98 or so: meaning one out of every 50 colors is wrong even with the best LEDs. Xenon strobes are in a class way above LEDs for still shooting g

    Love your videos! Question. I have a canon dslr crop. I’m looking to go full frame mirrorkess and debating between z8 and R5ii, I know both are WAY more than I need as right now I mainly do landscape and surf photography, however, as my hobby grows i want to do sports/events etc. I want a buy once cry one camera I can easily use for the next 7+ years. I love the ergonomics of the canon, I like the features of the z8 (tilt screen for low angle shots/night more/astro star focus etc) I know buying either one locks me into their kens system. Iv also heard you say that canon is best for getting into FF. Do you still feel that way. I’m specially looking between the z8 and R5ii

    • @KenRockwellTV

      Forget Z8. Autofocus is inferior and so are playback ergonomics. I’d get an R6 mk II which runs even faster / 40 FPS with full tracking.

    theres a non-v version for cheaper by $100 what does the V do? or just get this exact version (in Canadian dollars)

      V just replaced the 150W halogen model light with a 10 watt LED.

      @@KenRockwellTV ohh interesting, so does that mean less hot or just more power efficient? I might just go with non- for the savings or do you think the led light will last forever. Is there an option to turn off the model light ?

      @@KenRockwellTV interesting so the difference is negligible because of the color temperature difference, so you don’t Even use the led modeling lamp? That would save me $150 bucks! If I get the non- v version but buy maybe one or two or three I’ll buy them with your links thank you so very much I just thought led would be better for longevity

    I wanted the ad600 but you've given me, as a student, an affordable option to buy with enough power, I owe you for finding good options for us thank you for sharing!!!! I always gotta remember to buy what I need not what I want

      Enough power for what? 400ws is about 8 times more powerful than a shoe mount flash, and remember we almost always use a few of these strobes at the same time.

      Not familiar with it. If it’s the same thing as this but 50% more powerful, I’d get it only if you’re trying to light up whole rooms.

    The 3.5mm “wired” port perhaps provides the most convenient method for triggering as it can also be used to attach PocketWizard radio units, for those who don’t need the Godox X and Pro triggers.
