if i set the 60d to external wireless flash only, and take a photo in the mirror, the photo shows the built in flash lit up. it shouldn't do this ... there's an error somewhere that needs fixing
Mediocre review. Some good info in there. You could make your videos better by editing out the umhs & uhhhs and cutting out the blank areas. What about voice overs? This video really only needs to be no more than 2min 30sec with the content you provided.
@66cool99 thanks for the advice. this is actually quite old and i now try to keep my videos around 4 minutes or under unless there really is a lot of content.
I am sorry but you need to keep talking through the vid, all the erms make it sound like your not sure what you are talking about, i know its daunting doing this stuff but you made the decision to post this.
Good luck in the future, by the way i know the flash is good but i think its overpriced, at least here in Australia.
@yougoobr most of them are from using the PW TTL transmitters. the 580ex II has some faults, but its still an amazing flash. i use it on full power sometimes, so i need the extra power over the 430 exII. also, you said the build quality of the 430exII is better. I doubt that. I'm pretty sure the 580exII is more rugged than the 430exII.
Was wondering if you might be able to to a tutorial on the settings of this flash? I have this 580ex ii flash and I was searching for any reviews and tutorials on what all of the functions are. Please let me know if you would be willing to go and make a tutorial on the many features of this fantastic flash. Cheers!
especially for the external battery pack I thought it was for external electrical power supply which comes from a house electricity not from a battery .
now I'm looking for it on ebay it coasts about $35.80 and it think it's gonna be very useful .
@dipmvideos well script ? there was none and there needs to be, background noise (close the doors and windows) comparison read up on it as well as the object you are attempting to review and acc if you have a diff have it near by and show with and without images with both the card and the diffs that is a good start
you actually CAN use that flash to get lowkey photos with the background completely black. chek out ricknunn.com/how-i-shoot-lowkey-portrait/. good and thorough review!
@dipmvideos ummm no you didn't. What you said made it seem like the 580ex doesn't have enough power to make a lowkey photo, which it does. 3:20 you ask for comments at the end, and here are my comments and suggestions.
@hotchoclo i think i specifically said "over power the sun" and "during bright days". i think its pretty clear from that that what i meant. i appreciate the comment and i will surely read the link. just making it clear what i said. i really didnt want to start an argument so i'm sorry. thanks for watching!
Great review! dont know what some people are saying but very helpful!

The young man is taking his time & posting a video. So please no negative comments.
He will most likely climb the ladder & be ahead of you.

This flash is apparently flawed and hundreds if not thousands have blown up. Do some research before you buy it.

@dipmvideos - like said, do a google search on 580exII frying you'll see. I bought the 430exII much better build quality.
