	DPJ Photo’s says: elv000 – I shoot loads of BMX and Skate stuff, and have never really found any issues using 1/200th. As long as you bump uf the flash power, you will not get any motion blur. After asking around a lot of friends who shoot BMX aswell, i only found one of them who even understood what HSS was. I don’t think it is a popular as you think. Most Skate and Bike photographers just tend to up the power or just throw in more lights. Just my 2p :) Posted 3 weeks ago. ( permalink )
	Hellbelly says: HSS wont help to freeze motion, as it “pulses” the flash to cover the whole sensor as the shutter travels across it. Better to use more power at sync speed or less and use the flash to freeze the motion. Posted 3 weeks ago. ( permalink )
	Creative Lightworks says: Thanks to all who provided informative reviews on this Pixel trigger. As exciting as it sounds, it might very well worth waiting until other manufacturers come up with similar products. Pixel’s quality control/reliability issues and customer service are among some of my biggest concerns. I also think that the price is too high for a new product with such quality/reliability problem. When they first put it on Ebay the offering price was $138, and now almost $200. I also don’t particularly like the way they are selling it (by auctioning without Buy It Now option) – basically trying to reap as much profit as they could. If the initial price was $138 then the actual price is most likely around $90 (with some profit margin already). What is the justification of jacking up the price 100% (now almost $200) in less than a week? Considering that Pixel’s facility is practically next door to Yongnuo (in Kowloon, Hong Kong), I won’t be surprised if Yongnuo will start selling similar product soon, perhaps even as early next year (overseas rumors). These Chinese companies have come a long way, and with more players/competitions in the market it will be more likely that they produce more reliable products with lower price.

If you are in ISrael, istherea Profoto distributor there? I much prefer the Acute2 to the older Acute or Acute AlFA systems. Better controls and better built.

Orbis Ringflash Adapter Review from amazon.com

Orbis Ring Flash Attachment, for Use with Existing Flash / Strobe, “One Size” Fits Most Flashes

I was skeptical, June 5, 2009   ::: Is it worth almost $200 for basically a plastic angel food cake mold with a white translucent plastic light diffuser? It depends on what your requirements are. I just finished using it for an in-situ portrait shoot. For me, it eliminated the need to carry either a soft box light kit, or a bounce umbrella. Used as a main light, either shooting through the center ring, as most ring light photography is done, or just using it off camera, slaved to a little strobe like my old Vivitar 283, this Orbis thing was pretty amazing at providing powerful, yet very soft light for photographing a single subject. It totally eliminated that hard edged, precise direct strobe that chisels facial features and leaves those annoying ghost shadows behind the subject. Even with a light box or umbrella, you have to position the lights above the subject and cast the light downward to eliminate those shadows. With the Orbis, you don’t have to worry about that.

When I opened the box the first time I thought, “Jeez, it’s just a piece of plastic!” I was almost tempted to send it right back. I didn’t and I’m glad. Closer inspection reveals that this ring had a lot of technology put into its development. The flash unit of your choice slips into the bottom of the ring. Inside, there are silver plastic baffles that evenly distribute the light around the ring with no hot spots. I’d say without checking with my flash meter, that it only absorbs about 1 stop of light or less.

Just one little snag that can be overcome with some gaffer tape: This plastic is slippery and if not secured to your flash unit, believe me, it will do its best to fly off and hit the floor, hard! You better gaff it good. I see that Orbis is trying to fix the problem, but until they do, you are better off taping your flash to the Orbis. But their plastic is not only light, it’s durable. During my first shoot, the thing flew off my flash unit and hit the carpeted floor from a height of 6′ not once, but twice. The Orbis took the hits without damage. But I’m not going to take any more chances. Gaff it down tight!

How will I use this tool in the future. Now that I know what it can do, it will be part of my light-weight, on the go bag. If I need to rush out and do a quick in-situ portrait, like a business exec sitting on the corner of his desk looking official, this is the right light for the job. When there is no time for bringing in complex lighting or if the subject is really busy and he wants you in and out of there in less than 20 minutes, the Orbis makes it easy to get on and off the shoot quickly without a lot of fiddling around. I’m keeping it!
