An incredibly superficial and non-scientific field test of the best new macro lighting product in recent memory - The Godox Macro Flash - 12 watts of flash power crammed into a tiny 5oz package. This was intended to be a really thorough field test but after covering everything in the first, studio-based review, I didn't have much to add. So this is just me going a-ramblin' and talking too much.
Two of the tested flashes were provided for the review by Pergear, the camera accessories giant. If you aren't familiar with the cool store and great prices you must check them out! This is for the ultimate FOUR-light setup at the US store https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CSXFRJL?...
For a single flash, here is the US, use https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CG868LK?...
and this is for the one, two, or four-light setup at the European store http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09CG868LK...
and this is for the one, two, or four-light kit in the Canadian store https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09CG868LK?r... and this is for a single light
Oh yes, we can't forget their International Shop -https://www.pergear.com/collections/g...

Here is a link for the best trigger to use with these excellent lights, I have used all three triggers and the Xpro is the one I prefer https://amzn.to/3HFuvVY this is the Nikon flavor, all other major brands available. By the way, as an Amazon Affiliate I may receive a small payment for any qualified sales made using this link.
The BenQ light is still available (and very popular with everyone who has one) https://amzn.to/30TR7kQ in my humble opinion, the best desk lamp on the planet - this thing rocks!

SmallRig was very visible today and I really enjoyed the new lavaliere microphone @ and I would be stuck without their wonderful bendy arms, https://amzn.to/3nHatma their super clamps, https://amzn.to/3xdr9EZ , and the very best mounting device for the MF-12s, https://amzn.to/3r794au . The larger double clamp is expensive, but worth every penny https://amzn.to/3cm4nky
This is the best way to gather bendy arms, and they really do hold the flash (usually) https://amzn.to/3wZ88WB
