Questions & Answers

Vick S : Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement charging cable for this flash?TOM G : Hi Vic, I sold mine a few months ago with instructions. I did look online to see if I could find a charging cord but the only thing that I found is on eBay. The merchant who is selling the Rovelight 600 has a instruction book with it and you may want to ask him what is the model number of the charging cord and may ask him if he may know where to get one. I found out that I can't link the website address for you. Good luck!
TIAGO N : My charger and battery dead, where can I find a replacement?
Shopper : Does this Flashpoint monolight have a replacement bulb ? If extra flash bulbs are available for this unit, I don't see them for sale on the Adorama site. IF one is using a lot of HighSpeed Sync, wouldn't this put a lot more wear on the flash bulb itself ? and potentially burn it out prematurely ?JIM P : I have not experienced a bulb burn out. I would call Adaroma direct for a replacement.BARUCH S : yes i have replace in flashpointANDREW R : https://www.adorama.com/fpftrl600.html

Tiny, obscure buttons difficult to use.

Spend a bit more dough. Get a flash that is user friendly. Mount is funky...Would not buy again..

Great flash, just bad battery after a year :-(

Battery died on me after a year, maybe my fault, as I haven't used it much at that time. bought a new one

Amazing light. Be sure not to drop it or the screen might crack. But it's pure joy other than that.

Great Solution!

I am a "have camera - will travel" photographer always looking for lighting solutions I can use on location. So when I saw the deal on these, I purchased a couple. best decision I have made in a long time! Used them this past weekend on an in-home portrait shoot. One word to describe their performance; flawless!

Awesome

This thing is amazing. Got the head extender and the ParaPop 38” and the light is beautiful. Did a studio shoot with it this week. Super fast recycle, pops off all day. Used it to light up a reception tent at a wedding and it’s perfect. Highly recommend

Flashpont monolight 660

Great light for outdoors simply because the battery unit is contained within the light. Good power and pretty lightweight for the power.

Cannot fault Adorama. Quick dispatch, good follow up. Very nice piece of equipment and will be very handy for me to be used in derelict buildings and out door photography. Photo club members are very enthusiastic about this piece of equipment. Highly recommended.

Great with my a6000

Powerful flash with my a6000. I put the trigger that it came with on top of my xt-1 and use hss. Has a few cons like only going to 1/16 power with hss and not being able to see on trigger what power your at and no ttl. But the power and refresh time and portability make up for it. Got it on sale at ($) great value.

Love this light

I'm very happy with my purchase. The Rovelight has great adjustability and is user friendly. I have found the trigger unit included with it to perform reliably (I have yet to try it at distances over 25'). The battery life is great and I haven't used my spare battery yet.

First Strobe

This was my first strobe and I am happy with the purchase. The light is very easily used with the built in battery and easy to control after a little practice. The HSS works very will with the additional R2 transmitter and receiver although I would have preferred it if the light display mirrored the details on the transmitter - it does make the adjustments but mine doesn't show the changes on the light. The transport case that comes with the light is superb. Overall I'm happy with the purchase and may well pick up the Xplor 600 to go with it

A good performer and good value

I have three of these Rovelights and I've been very pleased with their power and reliability. Contrary to some reviews, I've never had a misfire. I would give 5 stars except for two issues: the color temperature is very high (over 7000°K) and I use them with a ¼CTO permanently in place; and since the R2 trigger kit isn't yet available for Sony, HSS isn't possible.

V. Good Light BUT...

This is an outstanding light, especially that with it and the R1 transmitter you are able to use HSS, High Speed Sync. But what you can NOT do with it make it imperative that you consider saving a bit longer and getting the Xplore 600 instead. The Xplore gives you HSS, Plus TTL, which is a must, especially if you are relatively new to using lights. The top strobist in the world, Joe McNally, tells you this also. He uses TTL to get his lights into the correct exposure setting instantly, then he takes over to adjust the lights to create whatever mood he desires. Another major reason to go with the Xplore 600 lights is that they operate with the R2 controller which also controls the outstanding FlashPoint Zoom Lithium Ion TTL Speedlights, (with Lithium Ion battery, which give you over 500 full power flashes per charge,) as well. What this means is that you can trigger them to fire along with the Xplore 600 in joined together setups. Yep, you can string 3 Xplore 600's and say 2 or 3 FP Li Zooms and operate them all with the R2 controller/trigger in one conjoined shoot. This gives you a HUGE advantage. The Speedlights are well under $. and enable you to save big on your Monolight setups!!! This fact can't be overstated. One controller, Monolights and Speedlights together! BANG! Think about it. Hope this review is helpful to you. My regards.

Very good for the price with the discount!

I really enjoy this light, I bought it and use it with a good 38" and it does give a very nice quality of light. Since it wasn't that expensive compared to others I feel more comfortable taking it everywhere...

Dipping my toes into strobe lighting.

I wish I had done this a lone time ago. This is an excellent set up for on site portrait shoots. Being able to control the flash from the camera is a huge plus, but the remote is a little cheap feeling. For the money you can't go wrong.

Awesome!

No need to attach photo as anyone who knows, if you light anything with the correct settings, distance, and so on, you're going to get the photo you want. I just want to say that while I've only taken around 100 photo's, the battery still says full. The portability is the most awesome thing I like about this light. It's a little confusing to get the settings down but what good light source doesn't come with that issue. I used it for a portrait shoot in the woods with a 48" octo and it worked flawlessly. Even tried out the HHS to get a nice darkened background at 1/5000 sec.

Great Initial Purchase!

For the price, you can't beat it. I haven't purchased the HSS trigger yet, but it could very well make this a 5 star review. I've only spent a moderate day of shooting with it since purchase. So far, the battery seems to hold its own. Looking forward to evaluating its performance over the long term.

RL600 is a good value for the money

I purchased two of these lights to supplement my speedlite and Alien Bee lights. These lights are very versatile and convenient to use and easily portable for on-location shooting. The provided diffuser disc is adequate for outdoor shooting and the Bowen's mount that mine came with makes it very easy to attach modifiers. The unit is advertised as supporting High-Speed Sync. In reality, it appears to support Hyper-Sync. This basically causes the unit to fire a pulse that ensures that there is light present for all shutter speeds. However, this feature limits the lowest usable power level to 1/16. The HSS-mode can be triggered using the Flashpoint HSS triggers or Yongnuo 622 triggers by attaching either to the flash head via the RCA jack on the flash and PC sync port on the trigger. You can also either stack or just hold the provided remote control to allow the power level to be remotely adjusted. I particularly found the remote modeling light to be very useful as a continuous lighting source for yet another option when shooting. This light is a good value for the money. You won't go wrong adding one or more to your lighting arsenal!

Highly recommend!

I shoot as a full-time portrait and fashion photographer in Arizona. I've used this in studio and outdoor environments and it's performed incredibly well. For the most part, the color temps are consistent with only a few variations after shooting thousands of images with it in the past couple weeks. It's light and portable and have had no issues bringing it on location shoots. The output has been really good. I've shot portraits outdoors in midday and was able to over power the Phoenix sun at high noon easily using high speed sync and a high shutter speed to get my exposure correct. I'll be looking to add another to my kit soon.

This Amazing Flash Is My New Go-To!

I purchased this RoveLight after watching the Gavin Hooey tutorial of his Little Red Riding Hood shoot. This was actualy my first venture into flash photography (besides buying a speed light that wouldn't fire with my Eos 5D Mark 2 but I'm not going to go there!) It was very easy to setup with softbox and light stand and I was extremely pleased with how simple it was to use for someone who'd never used off camera flash! I used it a couple days ago for a photoshoot I had with a model in the dense forest and it had no problem either overpowering or matching the ambient light (I used a light meter to match it). It took about 10mins to set up ANS start shooting and another 5 to take down and head back out. If you're looking for a flash that you can take with you on any outdoor photoshoot, I highly recommend this one!

FEATURED REVIEWS

Awesome!!!!

By Gary C.

Bought one, liked it so much I bought a second. Added a 40 inch folding beauty dish to it and love it even more. I love the fact that I can place the subject with their back to the sun and shoot with no worries. Used it on a recent senior photo shoot in a park. There must have been another half dozen photographers shooting in the park at the same time. While they were in the shade shooting with no flash at all, I was in full sunlight. I was shooting in high speed sync mode using the Flashpoi...

Convenience is everything

By BLAQUERUESTIR R.

My only complaint is about the instruction manual - font size too small for my vision. The battery lasts and with the right environment, just select your modifier (or go bare) and be creative. If the HSS remote trigger was included, this would be rated "six stars" instead of five.

Please Note: You can now use this strobe in HIGH SPEED SYNC mode with our new High Speed Sync transmitter for Nikon or Canon and a compatible receiver FPRRR1PJR, FPRRR1TRN, orFPRRR1TRC!!!

For HSS with a Sony camera, you need an R2 Transmitter for Sony, and an R2 Receiver (Nikon or Canon receiver work as well)
