Turbo flash


This afternoon I decided to put the new "mutant" flash through its paces to see what it could do .
I fired it about 15-20 times all together without giving it much time to cool down .
I took a few shots to compare it to the SB800 on full power .Ignore the background getting brighter , it was raining and the sun was coming out again . Concentrate on the foreground and shadows .
I used the D50 because it can sync flash at any speed .






I had the "super-flash" on half power which was half the capacitors in the original flash plus the 3500uf cap I added .





Then I moved up the driveway to really put it to the test ....






I then moved to the top of the driveway . And tried at 1/3200th sec .




I would imagine the flash tube will last as it doesn't appear to have suffered any side effects .
"Full power " is when the other half of the capacitor bank inside the flash handle is also connected.
