How much this thing can cost? :)

and its called mono light? it dosent have a name or model or something alse ?

[Seadogstudio]

@DSPoductions It' called Monolight because of it's configuration. One flash output inside one unit with all the electronics. other configuration would be powerpacks where the power unit and the flash bulb is a separate unit. Check out Leading studio flash website will give you a better idea. (Profoto, Broncolor, Elinchrom )

Like in cars you would have different configuration like "Front engine rear wheel drive" "4WD" "Front wheel drive" "Mid engine rear wheel drive"

Can u use strobe lights/mono lights for video lighting?

[goonrush]

whats wrong with my monolight? it always fires faster than my shutter even with a fast shutter its still the same, thats why the light from it doesnt show on my photos.

Monolights are self powered units, you just plug them in. But you must set the amount of power they put out so your exposures are correct, and the lights are triggered usually by a sync cord attached to your camera.

[epics7]

The best way to get the correct exposure or the look that you want is to use a light meter. From there you set your camera meter and shutter based on what you have your strobe unit(s) set at. Average shutter speed for strobes are 60 to 125.

[epics7]

Kind of vague question. Yes, if you own a dlsr camera or a camera with a pc synch, you can plug the cord from camera to strobe or you can how up radio units to go wireless which is better because it frees you from cord and giving you better range to shoot.
