Speed light Vs led panel question ?! I am getting into macro photography and video and want to start looking at more lighting options. What is the point of flash (in photography), when the point is about lighting the subject, not about the timing of the light ? submitted by /u/Darthler

Replacement Profoto B1 light stand mount/foot. The foot of my B1 broke off, I’d love to be able to replace it without sending it in. Does anyone know if I can purchase the foot on its own, and if so, where? I emailed Profoto but haven’t hear back yet. Thanks submitted by /u/Abd124efh568

Can someone explain light modifier switch inserts?

( www.reddit.com )

Can someone explain light modifier switch inserts? Waiting for my Westcott FJ400 strobe to arrive and it comes with a “FJ400, Godox, Bowens” mount insert. I assume that type of insert means it attaches to the FJ400 as well as all Godox and Bowen strobes? And since the mount insert doesn’t say “FJ400 to ___ mount”, I assume all attachable light modifiers have a universal attachment? So, if I’m co…

Softbox with 30W light bulb? I’m wanting to buy my first softbox for studio photography but my budget is very low. I came across a great deal but the LED light bulb is 30 watts. Would this be sufficient or is this completely useless? I would be shooting in a controlled studio with no natural light. submitted by /u/Tr1ggerHappy5000
