What does the model light do in my strobe light?
 

There is a socket for a model light in my new strobe light. What does it do? Anybody know?

ummm synchro cable?

?? what do you mean?

the cable to syncronize your cam's shutter with the strobe's flash

were you talking about stationary or on-camera flashlight?

I am talking about the strobe light that I just bought. It has the drobe light and a socket for a model light. I have a wireless connection to my camera.

Oh My God.

It's a special lightbulb which you put the socket, so you can tell where your "light" is going to fall on the model. Thus Modeling Light.

Are you a shooter??

Not really, just trying to learn a little more. So I got to go out and get myself on e of those special bulbs?! Are they SPECIAL or.. just a certain voltage?

Validus if you ever want to come to the UK you can spend a few weeks with us and we can train you up.

Trying not to hate. But this is ridiculous. And people wonder why the state of some content is so poor. Guys shooting content don't know the SIMPLEST things about........ SHOOTING CONTENT!! This IS like your third or fourth post asking the SIMPLEST questions, isn't it? Ughhhhh.

Oh, ok, good, your NOT doing this as a biz. Phewwww. I'm sorry. You do your thing and learn. Good for you!

Well yes, you must find out EXACTLY what bulb goes there. It should have come with one when you bought it. Ask your seller.

Yea, this is just a "hobby". So, since you guys are all pro's... why not ask.

I'll go to the seller and ask him. There wasn't a model light with it.

Hey cool, now there is a great offer. I might have to take you up on that!

:) thanks !

You would only need flight money as we have a spare room in the house!
