INTRODUCTION THE LIGHTWEIGHT MONOBLOCK Welcome to a review of the Godox Witstro AD200. Gone are the days of bulky studio lights, and meet the new generation of portable studio lights. The AD200 is the smaller brother of the AD360 and it is about the size of a regular flash unit – But it literally has

INTRODUCTION BEST BUY? Welcome to a review of the YINYAN CY-20 flash. This is a cheap Chinese flash that is floating all around eBay and Amazon, priced at an unbelievable $10. Yep, this may be the cheapest flash that I have ever bought out of curiosity. But just how well does it work? Is it
