Title: Hasselblad X1D Flash
Post by: dantemi on May 24, 2017, 03:33:51 am

Hi, I'm looking for a viable flash solution for my X1D.
I tried the profoto and equivalent pro options but they are far from portable whereas I'd need something I can resort to when needed and which can be always with me.
In addition to Nikon SB line, any suggestion among nissin DI 700 AIR, Godox TT685N (with wireless flash trigger), Metz, etc.?

Honestly since it's new and Nikon is the tested product, I'd go with at least 1 of the SB series.  That way if you wanted to add slaves, using the Nikon as the Commander, it should be fine.  'Should be' is a great thing, it adds adventure to your day.
