Re: Strobes, studio and students

There are a couple of low-buck solutions. One is a dumb speedlight with an IR filter over it so it doesn't affect the image. The other is a bunch of $10 yongnuo triggers. I've had bad luck with their "high end" speedlights, but their cheap triggers are brilliant. On April 22, 2018 10:46:31

I'm about to upgrade from my iPhone 6 to iPhone 8 or 8 Plus, which is one reason I was doing the research on the Momentist lens system even as this thread popped up. :-) G > On Apr 24, 2018, at 9:38 AM, Eric Weir wrote: >> On Apr 24, 2018, at 12:24 PM, Godfrey DiGiorgi

Re: how hideous

The Momentist lenses and accessories are very high quality. The use of their system properly aligns the add-on optic to the phone's camera lens, netting significantly better than average quality results. A friend who was a huge Canon pro gear fan has all but stopped using his Canon gear

Re: Strobes, studio and students

I've used generic Yonguo RF-602 Radio triggers in group shoots, the spill from the adjacent strobes would end up triggering the all the others regardless of the lengths taken to shield the sensors. I keep a couple of sets in my kit as the Elinchrom Skyports aren't always reliable. On 24 April
