>>4400355A tripod isn't essential at all. Even a 2019 snoy can pull of 1s handheld exposures. If you need more, leave the waterfalls alone gramps! Ultra long exposure daytime and nighttime photography are both boring overdone niches from the days when every DSLR dweeb had a tripod strapped to him

>>4400378actually, shooting backlit portraits outdoors is what they're best at, indoor flash usually looks unnatural and bad unless you have 2-3+ lights and modifiers.
the tough part is flashes need gelled to match the ambient light, which isn't always 5600k even outdoors. The color temperature of the sun varies by season, reflective surroundings, and cloud cover. Sometimes outdoor light can even cast a green tint if bright sun reflects off shiny grass onto white skin/fur. Yellow tint if you're in a wheat field which is why people love taking photos in wheat fields.
for indoors, just go godox so your little fill flash can act as a strobe trigger in a pinch and their dedicated trigger if you buy it is very small. the only reason pros don't use godox lights is because most rental houses don't contract with godox and carry them and there's an image issue the same as using a panasonic to shoot for LV. people have even shot snoys for LV, but they had to tape over the logo so they models didn't scowl.
