    I enjoyed your video about diffusers. I have a rather old camera Canon Rebel would your diffuser work on my camera? If so where can I purchase one?

    I personally found the lightsphere useless. It's no different than using the cover on the off-camera flash and point it up to the ceiling. My clients also find the flash way brighter with the Gary Fong lightsphere on, which is blinding. I'm fine with just an attachable softbox on my speedlite.

    man im literally watching everything on all these different flashes so I dont pick the wrong one for my first. I am shooting a7II and sony NEX-7 so I need a flash that can work on both and do TTL and HSS at faster shutter speeds that 1/160 or 250. Ideally I want it to be able to shoot with a wireless trigger and be capable of 1/8000 HSS if I wanted. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A FLASH that can do this. The HVL f60 does not support wireless triggering and only does when flash is facing forward. ! The Flashpoint r2 for sony is coming out but it has no video light which I can deal with but I have to wait for it. HELPPP!

    I have to ask you Gary. I just ordered one of your older light spheres because personally I like the rubber fitting to attach it to the speedlite. I was curious was there a specific reason why you went away from the rubber and to the velcro fitting?

    Hi, is the HSS working on camera when I change it 45 degrees? i found in the forum that HSS doesn't work on a certain angle. is this true?

    Hey Gary, do you have any videos explaining how to avoid people from triggering your flashes when on slave mode? i had that problem when i covered a wedding recently.

    Hey Gary, what is the constant light you have on by the video camera. Seems it has a lightsphere as well.

    TTL ? How does this work with mirror-less ? I have an a6000 and A7ii I'm toying with manual settings. I do subscribe to your premium channel for a6000 &A7ii
