A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Is this video footage really when those photos were taken? (www.youtube.com)

To freeze motion like the photographer is doing you also need strobes with high flash sync , and to be that powerful those must be some expensive lights.

Absolutely not. You leave your shutter at 1/125 or 1/250 or whatever, use your other exposure triangle elements to black out the ambient, and your exposure time becomes your flash duration. "High speed sync" is much much slower and far worse at freezing motion than just shooting with traditional strobes.

good luck trying to freeze a ball in the air with 120 or 250 lol , also 250 will be high speed sync

There are multiple cameras on the market that can sync at 1/250 without switching to HSS.

I will be freezing the ball with 1/10,000 second duration flash pulse from my QT1200 strobes, not with my shutter speed, same as this guy is doing, and my R3 will flash sync at 1/250 in EFCS mode. Using flash and then ALSO trying to use fast shutter speed is misunderstanding entirely what you're doing.
