Travis Young Photography: Alienbee B1600 Introduction

[lalaig]

Maybe this is the best review I've seen.

1. Does it allow to sinc over 1/250?

2. Do they sell a 3000WS power batery? Because I'm shooting 8fps STROBED photos.

I'd like to point out that the Alienbee isn't more powerfull than the sun. You are just the scene a bit (Maybe with the shutterspeed).

I'd like to hear a response! In internet I cant find this much info you provided with this video!

Simple but helpful review. I am coming from the speedlite world as well and I appreciated your perspective. Gotta get one-

Hi love your review. Just wondering what battery pack do you use to power your alien bees? :D

[erayboul]

It is true that when you adjust fro a higher power to a lower one, the Dump light will come on, and until it goes off, you will have too much power for the new power setting. However, one of the features of the Alien Bees, the White Lightnings, and the Einstein, is that they will bleed off that excess energy internally within a matter of seconds or perhaps a minute (depends on the amount of adjustment), without the need to test fire the strobe.

Thanks dude! This video really helped me make the decision to actually buy one of these.

i am thinking about getting one of these and your review helped alot! i was wondering if it came with the lightstand or did you buy one seperate? and if you bought the lightstand separate, which one would you recommend?

[travisyoungphoto]

@peachteao thanks peacheao.

Unfortunately, it does not come included with a light stand, but the same come does make a light stand.

It's not too bad. I move my lights around alot and travel with them and they've been through hell, but they're still standing so I can't complain too much.

Have you even trying getting the Mola Setti 28" dish on it? I heard it is bad ass.. I'm actually getting that dish with a C stand with a boom

OK, I want to know how you managed to cut down the harsh mid-day ambient light. The sync speed on that camera is, like, 1/200 or 1/250. Not typically fast enough to bring harsh light down so far....

[NoMotif]

@in2food its the mix of the extremely powerful flash, and the fact his aperture is at f/22. He even said he's at 1/125 shutter speed
