Flash Roundup: Lots of Godox (New Gear and Reviews) and a bit of Yongnuo and Jinbei
Here is a roundup gravitating around flashes.
Most of the roundup will cover Godox, as it is arguably the one brand that grew strongest over the past few years. And in fact, new Godox gear has been announced recently too. There will be also reviews about the Godox AD100 Pro pocket flash.
But we will cover also Jinbei and Yongnuo.
- BH Explora: Godox Announces a Trio of LED Lights and Power Pack
– TL30 RGB LED Tube Light
– SL100D Daylight LED Video Light
– SL100Bi Bi-Color LED Video Light
– Godox P2400 Power Pack
Jinbei released two pieces of TTL lighting gear with full Fuji support. A couple of months ago Jinbei released a round-headed flash with a touch screen called HD-2 Pro. There is another monolight called HD-200 Pro. A video in Chinese showing an X-H1 user with his HD-2 Pro and HD-200 Pro in a studio setup here. The HD-200 Pro unboxing video from the official Jinbei channel in Chinese here.

Fujifilm X-T4 Firmware Update Imminent, But…
A source, who uses a nickname (thanks a lot), just contacted me with the information that a firmware update for the Fujifilm X-T4 is imminent.
But before you get too excited about it, let me tell you something.
Fujifilm usually announced major Kaizen firmware updates ahead of their actual release, as it recently happened with the upcoming GFX100 firmware here and the X-S10 firmware here.
In this case, Fujifilm has not pre-announced anything, which is a clear indication that it will be a minor firmware update. So don’t get too hyped about it.
But you know what?
We are still allowed to dream here on FujiRumors, so let us know in the comments which firmware updates you’d like for your X-T4.
