1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,850
how to set up a pocket strobe medium
broomsticks amazing we're gonna be
2
00:00:04,850 --> 00:00:08,360
getting more power but we're still doing
pocket strobe so this is gonna be
3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:14,180
roughly well about a hundred 5281
seconds worth of like with three strokes
4
00:00:14,180 --> 00:00:18,270
set up for three pockets probes oK so
it's going to start the first thing you
5
00:00:18,270 --> 00:00:23,800
need is either a cold shoe version of
this this is the this is the cheetah TSH
6
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:30,449
120 this is a three bracket hot shoe
mount ok so you can have a cold shivers
7
00:00:30,449 --> 00:00:34,819
in this which for example the west Conn
triple threat is the cold shoe version
8
00:00:34,819 --> 00:00:37,909
of this exact thing was they don't look
the same but it has the same
9
00:00:37,909 --> 00:00:42,960
functionality the hotshoe version this
has a 3.5 million report here on the
10
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,960
side but I can run a pot with a cable to
and trigger all the flashes on this
11
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:55,269
because these are all hot shoe beat or
ports and all it does is it amounts to a
12
00:00:55,269 --> 00:01:00,249
single quarter twenty male screw on the
bottom side ok so all you need to do
13
00:01:00,249 --> 00:01:03,600
here is the beautiful thing about this
is that we can mount this to virtually
14
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,619
anything let's say that we don't have a
life stand with us if we've forgotten
15
00:01:06,619 --> 00:01:11,430
but we do have a tripod well the tripod
again it comes standard with a quarter
16
00:01:11,430 --> 00:01:14,820
twenty mount for the bond your camera
and that's the same amount for this guy
17
00:01:14,820 --> 00:01:21,130
so I have to do is just screw this guy
right onto the tripod plate and now we
18
00:01:21,130 --> 00:01:22,700
are basically good to go
19
00:01:22,700 --> 00:01:27,270
also if I wanted to just put onto a
light stand I can grab my little speaker
20
00:01:27,270 --> 00:01:33,869
here all I need is a a 38 inch 24 20
adapter which is this guy put that right
21
00:01:33,869 --> 00:01:42,950
here on to their and now I can mounted
directly to my stand so the point being
22
00:01:42,950 --> 00:01:48,289
is that I wanna show you all how easy it
is to adapt and to put these devices and
23
00:01:48,289 --> 00:01:52,369
bracket under virtually anything so if
you want to me you know on a tripod you
24
00:01:52,369 --> 00:01:55,179
can put on that unit penalized and you
can put it on the unit to be honest
25
00:01:55,179 --> 00:01:58,679
ceased and you can put on that you just
need the right basically adapter to do
26
00:01:58,679 --> 00:02:02,570
so so let's go ahead low and wanna take
this guy at the frames we don't
27
00:02:02,570 --> 00:02:06,630
need this anymore thanks buddy like that
kind of just like ripped out of the
28
00:02:06,630 --> 00:02:11,660
frame look like on its own two legs that
was creepy but that's all they look
29
00:02:11,660 --> 00:02:16,500
awesome and Joe's awesome my team is
awesome
30
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:22,120
ok so now that this is on our list and
let's go ahead and just pop the flashes
31
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:27,410
on and I'm gonna show you in just a
moment of course this bracket right here
32
00:02:27,410 --> 00:02:31,100
this cheetah is best when used with
manuals drugs but right now we're using
33
00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:34,810
full-feature strobes so if you're
willing to show is all you need is the
34
00:02:34,810 --> 00:02:39,040
Westcott triple threat which is 30 bucks
instead of like 50 or 60 bucks for this
35
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,660
guy but it's still gonna allow me to
demonstrate this and I want to use it
36
00:02:42,660 --> 00:02:47,150
for that demonstration k I'm gonna grab
my other meat rose this is for me trust
37
00:02:47,150 --> 00:02:52,140
and you can see how this is already
getting kind of expensive right because
38
00:02:52,140 --> 00:02:57,489
we're using for Pakistan these are each
400 bucks a pop and so if we need this
39
00:02:57,489 --> 00:03:02,200
much power we might be just better off
going with a larger strobes sailing with
40
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,600
a medium stroke or even a full stroke
but the benefit of this is of course
41
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,590
there is a lot of portability to this
because we can have this inside of like
42
00:03:09,590 --> 00:03:13,260
a carry-on bag and we can set up you
know on location and it's very simple
43
00:03:13,260 --> 00:03:17,900
and easy to do now these directed forty
can see that I now have three flashes
44
00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:19,100
all set up together
45
00:03:19,100 --> 00:03:24,660
ok so before I go ahead and put the the
actual the Westcott Apollo strip box on
46
00:03:24,660 --> 00:03:28,329
here let me show you how I would operate
this I'm gonna flip this around to see
47
00:03:28,329 --> 00:03:36,090
you can see the backs of these gay men
turn all of them on I have my own right
48
00:03:36,090 --> 00:03:40,390
here so generally when I'm firing
everything from a single light source
49
00:03:40,390 --> 00:03:44,670
file place all these on a same channel
and group so I'm gonna put them all on
50
00:03:44,670 --> 00:03:56,110
channel one and I'm group A so let's
play this guy is good to this guy same
51
00:03:56,110 --> 00:04:02,620
thing as a perfect so everything channel
1 and group A now on here I can control
52
00:04:02,620 --> 00:04:06,260
channel 1 and group pages directly from
that top-line and so i'm gona power
53
00:04:06,260 --> 00:04:13,270
everything in channel one in Group A 218
power
54
00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:19,330
perfect now in place is back towards you
guys and you often see that as I start
55
00:04:19,330 --> 00:04:25,300
shooting all three of these are firing
each every time now that gives me three
56
00:04:25,300 --> 00:04:30,390
times the power in a single light source
right I'll have to do this point is if
57
00:04:30,390 --> 00:04:34,380
you want to modify that late we can play
some modifier over this so that we have
58
00:04:34,380 --> 00:04:38,600
modification so let's go ahead and do
that but we're going to that in just one
59
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:44,670
moment because I do want to demonstrate
the syncing capabilities of our our
60
00:04:44,670 --> 00:04:49,470
little cheetah thing before we continue
so let me just popped in a pocket wizard
61
00:04:49,470 --> 00:04:52,850
I'm going to plug it right into the port
so there's a poor right here on this
62
00:04:52,850 --> 00:04:56,690
side and I don't need to set up a blog
with my camera I just want to
63
00:04:56,690 --> 00:05:00,680
demonstrate this one feature ok so now
with this plugged in I can basically
64
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,520
trigger all three of these flashes but
here's the thing if I click test right
65
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,620
now you'll find that none of them are
actually working the reason is that the
66
00:05:08,620 --> 00:05:12,090
way that these flashes work neither
full-feature flashes and I have them set
67
00:05:12,090 --> 00:05:15,750
all as Odin receivers over the radio
mode that we talked about earlier so
68
00:05:15,750 --> 00:05:20,170
they're not they're not prepped receive
any sort of signal so what I need to do
69
00:05:20,170 --> 00:05:24,110
any to them as I need to go back and
basically turn them to operational
70
00:05:24,110 --> 00:05:29,020
slaves ok so basically we're just gonna
slip these to the radio mode where he
71
00:05:29,020 --> 00:05:33,270
would actually allow something else to
trigger these guys now generally this
72
00:05:33,270 --> 00:05:39,360
isn't necessary like say on a you know
if you're on a manual flash this isn't a
73
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,560
step that you have to do but here's the
thing is that I don't want to take all
74
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,620
three of these often put manuals roads
on there just take too much extra time
75
00:05:45,620 --> 00:06:01,240
so we can assume that we're using manual
strokes all around and now with a single
76
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:06,250
and now with a single pack wizard I can
trigger all three of these flashes at
77
00:06:06,250 --> 00:06:07,090
the same time
78
00:06:07,090 --> 00:06:10,699
oK so that's how I worked at all set to
1 2010 so they recycle times are very
79
00:06:10,699 --> 00:06:17,229
slow so I do it again shortly ok so
that's how we would trigger 3 manual
80
00:06:17,229 --> 00:06:21,180
strobes that are all placed on a hot
shower bracket via a popular that we
81
00:06:21,180 --> 00:06:27,060
don't need three visits to do so let's
go ahead and just unplug that i'm gonna
82
00:06:27,060 --> 00:06:32,210
go ahead and put my head in a way to the
sky after those gonna set up for you all
83
00:06:32,210 --> 00:06:37,690
but go ahead and place is back on the
camera guy down here and we're gonna go
84
00:06:37,690 --> 00:06:41,669
ahead and just flipped by the way to
flip the radio modem this guy on doing
85
00:06:41,669 --> 00:06:45,490
as I'm pressing this button right here
is the m dash S Patton master-slave one
86
00:06:45,490 --> 00:06:49,530
you hold it down and it gives you the
different radio modes so I wanted to be
87
00:06:49,530 --> 00:06:53,810
an open receiver mode okay so all these
are gonna be receivers for whatever Odin
88
00:06:53,810 --> 00:06:58,949
trigger that I'm using so many places
open receiver and same thing here go
89
00:06:58,949 --> 00:07:05,630
back to open receiver Hank we can double
check to make sure that all three of
90
00:07:05,630 --> 00:07:12,880
these are still working I just grabbing
are often trigger bank we're all going
