Speedlites are usually used to light up a scene where natural light is not enough or for professional studio photo sessions. Studio strobes are way more powerful than your usual Speedlites (thousands of watts more powerful) and that's why they are usually used to get the right light when needed.

World's top-selling microstock photographer Yuri Arcurs has recently published a video on his YouTube channel featuring a one-of-a-kind photo session where he tries to capture a fighter jet going over 750km/h / 450mph while using a 30,000W on-location flash setup. Check out the video above.

This is even more difficult if we take in consideration the fact that he used a medium-format Hasselblad, which has a 1 second shutter delay, but the reason behind his camera choice was mostly its 1/800s sync speed.

The entire Profoto strobe setup is worth over $100,000 / €74,000. What would you do with that kind of gear on your hands?
