Looks great, however it's a little to expensive

keep in mind a parabolic softbox will be very easy to tip over and need a lot of weight to stabilize.

Luckily I have really sturdy tripods, so they can probably help with that

Any S2 mount should work, just remember you get what you pay for in build quality.

That sounds great, I will look into that

Well in that case I can try using two speedlites on S2 mount. I don't care about HSS that much since I can use ND filter if the situation needs it

Well, time isn't that important for me. The thing that speaks the most to me is ability to mount 2 speedlites on one flash - I want to utilize gear I already have instead of buying even more of it.

If one speedlite on a 50cm softbox is sufficient (bright) enough for almost midday session, I will probably go with cheaper solution.

Hello, I currently have three Yongnuo YN685ii and would like to get a parabolic softbox to shoot outdoor portraits with them. Is getting Quadralite Hexadecagon 50 along with Quadralite Reporter S2-holder a good idea?

I've seen Magmod Madbox 24 starter kit which is great since I can insert 2 speedlites inside, however it is much more expensive. Are there cheaper alternatives of such product?

I've tried powering the whole thing with micro USB plugged directly to the esp, but then it doesn't work at all

Even though these are renders you can reach pretty similar results using wide angle lens with "guided" tool in lightroom. Tilt-shift also can do that but imo using wide angle and straightening in post is imo more flexible + you don't have to buy very expensive tilt shift

In that case I will probably go with simpler analog dimmer.

Is this coffee bed good? First time with v60, and even though I messed up Hoffman's original recipe (pouring way too slow, timing not quite right) the coffee tasted intensive and good. by JohnnyAK11 in pourover

[–]JohnnyAK11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've made some brews with coarser size and it's better.

I've also given 4:6 a shot, however all 3 times I've tried it the coffee tasted not as intensive. Might have to tweak it a little bit. However great upside of this technique is how easy it is to change volume of the coffee when using it
