Flash lighting head for splash photography

[Jon Dinh]

Dear Mr. Alex Koloskov
I prepare to buy flash head to learn online on this photigy.

In a set of recommended gear for students joining “The Complete Guide To Product Photography” program that you said. You recommended 4 Godox QS400II. Can I ask one question?

If I buy 4 Godox QS400II Flash Heads, can I take products with high-speed splash? In case, I have to use Godox QT400II to take products with high-speed splash, how many QT400II flash head and how many QS400II do I buy to mix us each other. Example: 1 QT400II and 3 QS400IIs; or 2 QT400IIs and 2 QS400IIs.

Thank you!
Dinh An

Hey Dinh,

You’ll need strobes with short flash duration if you want to freeze some action.

Godox QT400 would be a suitable variant for your needs: https://bhpho.to/2Vm57MS
However, you can’t mix various light sources for high-speed photography, a strobe with a long duration will simply ruin the scene and bring motion blur.
