Hi all
Does anyone know of a flash unit? that can do a strobe effect? I would like to capture a sequence of movement in one longish exposureeg. makes multiple flashes over a 1 second exposure? Hope this makes sense

Actually the principal of strobe and flash are different . Maplins sold a good little strobe awhile ago. I played around with this. In a darkened room, camera on B then rolling a marble down a slope while the strobe is flashing. :bonk:

That sounds interesting - are you going to publish it?

Wow, you weren't kidding Kev, nearly £300 on a quick google
It's a cracking idea though. Why not try something like this?

Na, just been bored and a few people have been asking about how it compares with the Nikon SB flashes. So just been testing it out really, nothing special

The 550 and 580EX units also do that.

I've been looking around for something to do this with for a while. I can only ever seem to find AC powered ones though. I am looking for a battery powered version if anyone knows where to get one i would appreciate the help. I have an idea for a BMX shot, but i need the Strobe to light it properly.
BTW, i don't wanna have to spend a small fortune just to find it doesn't turn out like i thought, so 580's are out the window, as are Metz'

Here you go, take one of these
http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trksid=m38.l1313&_nkw=battery+booster+pack&_sacat=See-All-Categories
and hook it up to one of these
http://shop.ebay.co.uk/items/?_nkw=12v+inverter+&_sacat=0&_fromfsb=&_trksid=m270.l1313&_odkw=12v+inverter+3000w&_osacat=0
and you're sorted. I've got an inverter wired up in the car for when my youngest used to have to use a nebuliser for his asthma when we were out.
Glad to say not anymore.
Kev.
