DreiFish Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 (edited) Since I've gone thourgh all the work of gathering this data from various sources and personal tests over the past few months, I might as well share it here in case other find it helpful. Corrections and additions welcome. Update on 24/06: I've updated the spreadsheet with three new sheets, one showing my detailed Power, Color Temperature and Flash Duration tests,other showing the recycling times / high speed shooting tests, and a final one with images comparing the beam cover with and without diffusers for the strobes I've tested. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hWG6Enh-ukiQXjN5y_3NMTFF8b4dhJ64YfZqyIdpFew/edit?usp=sharing Edited June 24 by Davide DB Post updated 6 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adventurer Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 (edited) Lethal stuff 🤣 thanks for putting the work in this and sharing here! update note: afaik the Kraken offers USB-C charging update note 2: INON D200 and Z330 are not available anymore correction: you wrote marilux again 🤣 instead of Marelux question: how did you measure the energy output?

Adventurer Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 (edited) more additions: the weefine and small Kraken strobe ( WFS07 and Kraken KR-S05 ) have TTL and properly adjust the light output automatically, when put in something they call "Sy" mode on these units. Corrections in the google docs file are recommended quickly, before too much wrong info circulates. Edited June 6 by Adventurer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinK_cz Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Fixed the Marelux 🙂 at least tiny help for your great work. thx 😉 Well I really like the design of the Retra, but I am not sure if its worth the extra money. I also like the idea of Marelux Apollo III but its their first generation and I wonder how the TTL will really work for them as they are not really field tested by independent photographers... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guavakal Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Thank you DreiFish! Some suggestions: 1) small Kraken strobe is KR-S02 not 05 https://krakensports.ca/product/kr-s02-strobe/ 2) battery pack for KR-S02 is $125 https://krakensports.ca/product/replacement-battery-hydra-5000-kr-s02-strobe/ 3) I think table is easier to read transposed (see pic) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boduoguo Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 INON S-220 looks brighter than YS-D3? More even . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreiFish Posted June 22 Author Share Posted June 22 (edited) 2 hours ago, boduoguo said: INON S-220 looks brighter than YS-D3? More even . It's not. The INON S-220 shots were incorrectly the ones at F18 rather than normalized to F22 like the rest. Fixed now. Perhaps a moderator could kindly remove the screenshot from my post above and replace with this one? And combine my post above with the pinned first post for easy of reference?
