Any recommendations on a relatively portable strobe that has a short flash duration at full power?
Trying to take advantage of the x1d's ability to sync flash at 1/2000 sec.
For example, the Godox AD200 is small, light and relatively powerful at 200Ws.
Unfortunately at full power, flash duration is 1/220 sec which is too slow for the x1d.
It is a little better at half power, with flash duration at 1/869 sec.
The Nikon SB-5000 at full power has flash duration at 1/980 sec which is not bad.
Unfortunately, the power is much lower at about 50 to 60Ws.
Hoping to take advantage of the leaf shutter, small size and sync speed.
Thanks for your help.
