What you're describing is known by a lot of different names (High-sync, hypersync, supersync, overclock sync, tail sync, etc. What HSS seems to do (as I understand it) is fire a burst of light that's longer than the speed of the shutter so that, presumably, the strobe begins firing before the first curtain of the focal plane shutter opens and continues after the second curtain closes. Might be worth an hour or two to give you an idea of how it all works. He has demo/test videos of pretty much every piece of Godox/Flashpoint gear. There’s a guy on YouTube, who seems to be their semi-official ambassador, called Robert Hall Photography. ![]() If a light gets damaged, they’re not going to repair it for you, but I’d be very surprised if any warrantable fault didn’t result in an immediate replacement. I’d 100% buy there if I was in the US, as you can count on their customer service. If you’re in the US, I believe Adorama do their own branded version of the lights and triggers called Flashpoint. You can have a strobe as your main light, a secondary strobe doing fill and a speedlight doing rim duties, all on different settings, and they’ll all fire off the trigger without any messing about with slave settings, line of sight problems etc. The X-Pro trigger is hugely functional, and the whole system is integrated really well. Build quality isn’t quite Profoto, but they’re plenty solid. So, here's what I'd like to know (in addition to any other opinions of this forum on): if I were to purchase the B1600s and matching Godox (or Cactus) controllers, what other tech might I need (outside of modifiers and traditional lighting grip) or what concerns would you have? I wrote to the Paul C Buff company and was advised I could potentially use this setup with their units but was advised that the " B1600 as the best choice, as its flash durations are longer (as it has to push out more light), and it is also a higher power, which is beneficial as HSS or similar technology is inefficient as no part of the sensor gets all of the light that is pulsed from the flash unit.".this approach seems to be implemented by placing a Godox or Cactus controller on the hot shoe of the camera and then placing a transceiver on top of that in the hot shoe of the controller which then triggers the sister receiver on the strobe (or speedlight) unit, itself.what HSS seems to do (as I understand it) is fire a burst of light that's longer than the speed of the shutter so that, presumably, the strobe begins firing before the first curtain of the focal plane shutter opens and continues after the second curtain closes.(PocketWizards has a slightly different approach they call "HyperSync" which I have not researched.) ![]() Godox and Cactus are the most common controllers doing this for Fuji that I've seen.
