I was wondering what the settings were in the 622n-TX, did you have to change them to work with your AD360? I have the TX on camera and then the 622c with the AD360 and it's still not doing anything. I noticed that you still had the USB Trigger attached when it worked. If you took that out does the HSS still work. Just trying to figure out how to make mine work.

Thanks for the info. <br /><br />Regarding your challenge, the other option you could test is to use neutral density filters to bring the shutter speed into the flash sync speed range. If you were going to shoot at 1/1000 second anyway, you would just need a 2 stop filter to get you into sync speed range of 1/250 sec. Kids would probably still be ok at that shutter speed, and even though they would get ambient exposure (and so the shutter speed would impact the motion), the short duration of the flash would help to freeze them.

Sad to hear long duration only works in full power mode. <br /><br />I have tested the light in HSS mode at 1/8 and 1/4 power and the overheat sensor kicks in at about 20 pops - super lame as I really would love to be able to use these outdoors with wide aperture for a family/kids portrait session in mid-morning sunlight without limitations. <br /><br />Thanks again for your insights and review and I'll will keep checking out your blog. <br /><br />-Michael<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636527677273096121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8974086115469948472.post-22181822666274471982014-12-06T10:58:27.464-06:002014-12-06T10:58:27.464-06:00@Michael Jurick,

I haven't tested myself, but I think the overhead 20 shot limit is only going to kick in if you are in HSS mode AND full power, so if you are in HSS and 1/8 power for instance, I think you will be a lot more shots (again, I haven't actually tested that myself). If 1/8 or 1/4 power does not give you enough light, you can add light sources to make up for it. So for instance, in addition to my 360 (I only have one), I have several Nikon flashes, and I could add one or two of those to the mix (since light is additive) to make up for not having the 360 at full power. Sorry I don't know of a better solution. Let me know what setup you end up on though, as I am interested to hear how it works for you.

I wanted to ask one critical question for me. <br /><br />I would like to use this setup for portraits so I can use 1.4 aperture for portrait work outdoors in mid-morning sunlight photographing fast moving kids. What I'd like to do is NOT have to use full power on the 360 if I don't need it. Let's say I wanted to use the LONG duration flash (HSS set to OFF - b/c the overheat sensor comes on in HSS mode after only 20 pops and then renders the photoshoot useless b/c of the painfully long recycle time). Let's say I wanted to use 800 of a second or 1000 of a second (not the full 8000/sec) and 1.4. Could I use the system you describe with 1/4 power on the 360 so I can recycle faster AND not trigger the overheat protection on the light? Thanks so much in advance for you answer!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636527677273096121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8974086115469948472.post-62767918147952053792014-12-05T23:23:50.700-06:002014-12-05T23:23:50.700-06:00@ David, That could be a benefit, but I imagine th...@ David, That could be a benefit, but I imagine that if you are photographing inside, if you want everything in the interior in focus anyway, you could balance it by decreasing the size of your aperture instead of taking shutter above your sync speed.
