Flash with Continuous Shooting

<p>Hello everyone, <br /><br />I am a new flash user. I just bought Godox TT680 and I have a canon 650D camera. <br /><br />I want to use the flash with continuous shoot mode, as I am shooting sports action that has someone running. I tried the flash with many shots, it worked with 2 or 3 shots and then the other shots were not lighted up. <br /><br />What shall I do to get the flash to work with many continuous shots? <br />Is there a special settings with the camera and the flash? <br /><br />Thanks for your help</p>

<p>The flash must recycle after every flash, before the next flash. This takes a couple of seconds at high power level, but it can be very fast at lower power. There are no settings, except you must use low power to shoot continuously. Start at maybe 1/8 power, that probably does a few continuous shots. Adjust power lower as seen necessary to keep up, or for longer bursts. If it won't keep up, you need lower power level until it can. Use NiMH batteries, they're faster. Do not overheat your flash, you can damage it. Let it cool.</p>

<p>There is barely any flash really made for what you are planning to do. Even the powerful head & generator flash guns of the 1980s had to be dialed down to a built in flash output to allow continuous shooting at a low winder speed - 2FPS - another f-stop for 3FPS.<br>

If you really depend on flash get some electronics hacker to construct a Gattling gun interface for you; i.e. something that uses 3 or more flashes and spreads the work over them to give them a chance to cool &/ recharge. How to do that for ETTL control is over my head, simply synchronizing manual flashes seems possible though. </p>

 

What will help will be an external high voltage battery like a Quantum Turbo 3. Even better will be two flashes in manual

mode, each with their own high-voltage battery and a Pocketwizard MultiMAX v2 on your camera, set for "ping-pong"

mode and more standard pocketwizard Plus transceivers on the flash. The flashes will alternate firing in sequence.

<p>Thanks all fro your response ... Great information</p>

<p>I shoot dance with a profoto B1. When I set the flash at power 7 (from 10 maximum) I can shoot 4 frames per second. With power set at 6 or 5 I can shoot more framse per second.<br />Other solutions are: profoto B4, broncolor move 1200j, broncolor siros L. All them with batteries.<br>

<p>I was thinking of the Nissin 'machine gun' flash.. which has a studio style tube, and provisions for high voltage battery.</p>
