Speedlites vs Studio Strobes

Last Updated 27th May 2014

Here at Hypop, we get numerous questions about our equipment. One of the most commonly asked is the difference between speedlites & studio strobe lighting. So we’ve come up with a simple table to show you!

 

SPEEDLITES

 

 STUDIO STROBES

 
  • Speedlites give you convenience as they are small, lightweight & extremely portable. Perfect for carrying around in your camera bag.

 

  • No need for messy cables – wireless setting.

 

  • Price – you will find that speedlites are much cheaper in comparison with studio strobes.

 

  • Ideal for location shoots.

 

  • Can be mounted directly onto your camera’s hot shoe or a stand.

 

  • Its size & portability make it very easy to place them wherever you would like – amazing flexibility with lighting.

 

  • Battery powered – you don’t need to keep an eye out for a power point, another tick for portability.

 

 

 
  • Studio strobes are much more powerful than speedlites – resulting in more light.

 

  • Studio strobes have the automatic feature of attaching softboxes – no need to worry about adapters.

 

  • Recycle time is much quicker as it is plugged into a wall power source.

 

  • Accessories are readily available e.g barn doors & reflectors.

 

  • Modeling lights are built into studio strobes, these help with auto focus & give you a preview of how your shadows are going to fall on the subject.

 

  • No need for batteries, you’ll never have to worry about the power wearing down the flash.
