Excellent manual flash

I wanted a fully manual speedlight that would work with my Godox 320w/s bare tube flash on the same radio system. This flash and the plug-in radio receiver works perfectly. The large lithium ion battery is a great feature - not sure why we haven't seen these sooner. Plenty of power and much easier to charge and keep track of than dozens of AA rechargeable batteries. I now have three of these to go with the baretube flash.

Great speedlight!

I have been using these for a few weeks now, and I am definitely happy with their performance. I also have the plug in radio recievers for these which is great for adjusting power without having to manually adjust for each new shot. Really don't have anything negative to say about these!

Very Nice Flash

The Flashpoint Zoom Li-on is well built and powerful. It works well on camera with manual controls. I usually use a Sekonic flash meter. Results have been great. The Flashpoint also works very well remotely off camera. I'm planning to buy a second Flashpoint soon. The Flashpoint is affordable and a great value. I have a long history with Adorama Flashpoint lighting equipment. I have two Flashpoint studio lights that I have had for over 25 years. The lights have travel from coast to coast in the U.S. and Canada. They've never let me down.

Fast recycle time

I own the manual only flash and love it! I use it for off camera flash with a softbox and the recycle time is amazing!! I have only owned it for a couple of weeks, but I am extremely impressed. It seems to be built well too.

Excellent manual flash

By Ken B.

I wanted a fully manual speedlight that would work with my Godox 320w/s bare tube flash on the same radio system. This flash and the plug-in radio receiver works perfectly. The large lithium ion battery is a great feature - not sure why we haven't seen these sooner. Plenty of power and much easier to charge and keep track of than dozens of AA rechargeable batteries. I now have three of these to go with the baretube flash.

The Flashpoint Zoom Li-on Flash represents a significant breakthrough in speedlight power technology. From standard manual, to remote power control with a Flashpoint Commander, and a zooming flashhead, this flash takes you as far as you want to go.

The key component that makes this flash stand apart from others is the Lithium Ion Polymer battery with exponentially more power than AA batteries of any type, while fitting into roughly the same amount of space. Packing an amazing 11.1 volts and 2000mAh, this battery can power your flash longer and with faster recycle than any shoe mount speedlight on the market. Full power recycle times are less than 1.5 seconds, even if you fire 5 full power shots in fast succession! One completely charged battery can deliver up to 650 of those full power shots. Even for long events, you can try to drain the battery, but the Zoom Li-on keeps on going strong.

Besides total manual control, there are 2 optical slave modes, and a stroboscopic mode as well. The metal shoe features a locking pin, so even if the foot is not tightened properly it will not accidentally fall off of the camera or mount. Remote power control using a Flashpoint Commander and Receiver allows you to view and change your flash output as you shoot as well as trigger the flash and adjust other functions from more than 150 feet away, for extreme off camera work.

The simple layout and familiar controls make using this flash int uitive. The flashhead rotates 180 degrees in any direction and tilts over 90 degrees for anytype of bounce or modifier use. The head zooms manually from 24-105mm, to ensure the necessary coverage without wasted spill. The built-in pull out wide angle diffuser spreads light evenly for use with lenses wider than 24mm to 14mm.

With a charge time of just 2.5 hours and enough juice to run you through even the most difficult shoots, and extra batteries available, this high powered, speedy recycling, compact and durable Lithium Ion battery powered manual flash is sure to become a pivotal part of your photography equipment lineup.
