Equipment used
1x manual hot shoe flash
Mitros + adapted to strip softbox using the HS speed mount. The specific adapter, fasten to any softbox with bowens mount and allows us to use hot shoe flash instead of studio flash.
The strip softbox lightens the bike. The thin line of light producing strip softbox is ideal for such situations.
Subjects face lit up with Canon hotshoe flash . To give a little color and mimic the light of cigarette lighter, i used full cto gel The Odin receiver was used for controling this flash.
In the background, behind the motorcycle i placed a manual flash, which is adjusted to synchronize with it’s optical receiver. Unfortunately the preflasies of Mitros + did not help to synch the flash. Although the settings of the flash were in manual mode and not TTL, the preflasies not ceased. optical receiver flashes, usually have two adjustment positions in order to ignore preflashes . In this case it did not help
Phottix Odin works very well and allows us to change the settings from the on camera transmitter without having to run on each flash individually. But it is made to work with the Mitros + and Odin receivers.
The Mitros + work well with Odin. I’d like to have the opportunity to try to illuminate only with Mitros to see their behavior. Odin has three independent groups. in combination TTL and manual mode
I believe that HS speed mount, is one of the most important tools. by having this you are able to use a large studio softbox in combination with hot shoe flash on location.
