Hi guys, it's Rob again from Hypop at hypop.com.au.
Today, we'll be looking at some of the Godox studio
flash strobes.
Particularly the QS series that we have here and the QT series.
We'll discuss some of the differences between the two.
As you can see we both have the 400 watt models
here with us today.
So, with the QS range that is the lower range models for Godox
and the recycle time's from 0.3 up to 1.5 seconds
whereas the QT series is as fast as 0.05 seconds
or up to 1.2 seconds.
So, a lot faster definitely in terms of recycle time.
We'll demonstrate that shortly. There's also the flash duration.
So, the flash duration,
they both support high speed sync.
This one now can go as high as 1/2000 seconds
and this one here can go up to one of about 1/5000 seconds.
And lastly is the power output control.
So, on the QS range, we start from 5 which is 1/32.
It's the lowest strength output,
all the way up to 8.0 which is full strength 1/1.
Whereas the QT series range, you can start at 5.
The lowest range for the QT400 is the 1/128
all the way up to 10.
So, that's full strength of 1/1.
So, there's three main differences between the strobes.
Now, we discuss some of the features
of the strobes themselves.
So, the strobes as you can see, they have four buttons here.
One's a modeling lamp here.
So, that's a seamless alpha control.
That's the dial there.
You can control the intensity of that modeling lamp.
We also have the sound.
So, that's turning off the sound function,
the triggering function
so when you're actually triggering the flash,
the beep will sound.
The other part is the other button here is a slave.
So, that's a slave control. If you're using optical flash.
So, we've one of the other flashes you have
has a wireless receiver. That can be your master flash
and you can set your second flash
to the slave function
so that will trigger via optical.
And lastly is just a test button.
So, the test button is just to test the flash there.
And this is all various controls here, power output.
And parts here of the strobe,
you've got the wireless remote receiver
that you can plug in to, it's like a USB port.
There's also the sync cable
and just the on/off switch that will show itself.
Some of the other products that come with the actual strobe
included the standard reflector.
So, that standard reflector is bowens.
Both QS and QT series are bowens adapters.
So, you can get bowens modifiers from anyway between octagons,
soft boxes, or rectangular soft boxes,
strip boxes, snoots, reflectors, beauty dishes.
They also feature an umbrella mount.
So, there's an umbrella mount there
on the bottom of the strobe.
It also includes the glass protector.
So, that glass protector's really handy.
I love strobes that have this function.
It's just to protect your flash bulb there
which is the most important component of the flash itself.
So, that's great.
It also comes with the E27 150 watt modeling lamp.
It also includes your power cable obviously.
Few other little pieces that's just additional fuses.
So, that's if the strobe fuse itself busts.
It also comes with a sync cord that you can use
and also just to protector cap. So, those are some of the things
that are included in the package.
Yes, so now we'll go through and test some of the recycle times
and the differences between the QS and the QT series range.
Let's turn both on.
So, its lowest power output there at 5.0
which is 1/32 for the QS range.
You've got the recycle times that's really fast.
Whereas if you put it up to full strength,
still relatively fast for a strobe.
You'll notice the main difference
in the QT series range when we test that next.
So, let's just give that a quick test.
So, for the QT series, put that on the lowest at 5.0
which is 1/128 with this range. So, I'll just give that a test.
Noticeable difference in speed there.
We'll put that out to full output.
That's pretty fast recycle time there.
Okay, so those are the main differences between the both.
Other than that, they're really identical in the wide angle.
The QS is obviously blue in design.
The QT is orange in design as well.
Okay, so that was the comparison
between the QT and QS series strobes by Godox.
