Description
Overpowering the sun is not about using the biggest flash, it is about using the right one. In this video, photographer Samuel Bouret tests the Flashpoint Explore 800 Pro, 600 Pro 2, and 400 Pro 2 in harsh Miami midday sunlight using the exact same setup to show how flash power really affects your outdoor portraits. See the real world differences in background control, contrast, portability, and natural light blending so you can decide which strobe fits your shooting style best.
