Questions & Answers

Shopper : Does this come with the carrying case and reflector?TERRY W : Yes it does!LUIS F : Yes, the adorama version of this strobe comes with the carring case for the strobe and accessories, also a smaller case to carry the strobe, strap, reflector, a plastic diffuser plate that clips to the front of the reflector, the strobe bulb, battery and charging cables. I highly recommend to get the accessory strobe extension head cable. It's very useful and it also has the LED modeling light built-in just like the strobe itself. The whole kit works amazingly well, very powerful for use even in daylight and the battery charge lasts a very long time!PHILLIP A : Yes it does.Stacy L : It does, and the case is much nicer than I expected it to be.Leo Q : I purchased this 2 years ago and yes, mine came with the reflector shown in the picture and a carrying case.CHARLES B : Yes it does, plus charger and diffuser for the reflector. Absolutely great light for the money with very long battery life.DREW A : It comes with a nice case, reflector, and a plastic diffuser that can be clipped on over the reflector.Kenneth C : It says it right there in the bottom right "what's in the box" Flashpoint XPLOR600 600ws Monolight Flashpoint R2 TTL Transmitter for Sony 600ws Flashtube with Protctive Cover Standard 7" Reflector Rechargeable Lithium Battery AC Battery Charger Set Compartment Case Flashpoint 2-Year Full USA WarrantyANDREW R : What's in the box: Flashpoint XPLOR600 600ws Monolight Flashpoint R2 TTL Transmitter for Sony 600ws Flashtube with Protctive Cover Standard 7" Reflector Rechargeable Lithium Battery AC Battery Charger Set Compartment Case Flashpoint 2-Year Full USA Warranty
Shopper : Does liveview on Sony A7m2 still function with X1T-S and Explor 600?Angel G : Yes, everything works fantastic, live view, highspeed sync, etc etcPAT L : Yes.NORMAN M : Of course. Just know that the screen will be brighter than the actual exposure. This is to help you focus. So you want to set your background exposure with the x1t-s off, then turn it on when you are ready to shoot.
KIM S : I am not able to attach an umbrella with the reflector on the light. The flash tube is exposed which makes me a bit nervous. Is there an item I can use to protect the flash tube and still use the umbrella hole that is on the light?Brands@ A : please send photos of your problem to brands at adorama comStacy L : Some brands of 7" reflectors have little windows that allow the umbrella rod to pass through. I picked up an extra reflector that came with grids and it has the window.

Great Value - Excellent Performance

Great value (Black Friday sale made it even better) and excellent performance... I actually purchased two of these for a proper studio setup and I opted for the battery-powered version as it gives me more flexibility... However, proper care of these (expensive) batteries is required to ensure many years of service. I found several great videos regarding battery care on Youtube...

I liked it so much that I bought a second one.

It was just like its photo. Has all the power you will ever need. I shoot manual with a meter so don't miss the TTL at all. Works great with the trigger also. It is a bit heavy for being up high on a stand but with the ext. head it is no problem.

Flashpoint Flash

More than meets anyone expectations. Great price. I use it for real estate photography and it has more than enough power to light up the interior of homes I shoot. Equivalent power of 3 speedlights.

Great Location Light!

We have been purchasing these for our photography student lab and they are great for our studio and location courses. I love almost everything about them but the LED modeling lamp is a little weaker than we prefer in a studio environment but the battery pack and HSS capabilities help us forget about that.

Flashpoint XPLOR 600 HSS Battery-Powered Monolight with Built-in R2 2.4GHz Radio Remote System

This monolight is GREAT. It is enclosed in a very nice case ( which it is shipped in ) and upon opening the case you can see that the light and other items are nicely packed, Although this light is heavier than the Flashpoint 400 Pro, it is not so heavy that it is uncomfortable to use in the field on location. It is comfortable to carry, easy to setup, and in my opinion it lives up to its well deserved reputation.

Haven't had the opportunity to put it through it's paces yet, but I love it so far. The portability is great, makes on-location shoots so much easier than alternative monolights that require cables and extension cords.

Amazing light and the price is great. I love these lights, easy to use, long battery life, reliable. The only improvements that occur to me is they should make a hand grip on the handle for when someone is holding the light for you. Like a formed pistol grip.

Best Thing Yet

I tried to get the real estate lighting results i needed with a Nikon SB800 but it always fell short. This mono light is a game changer! I now have all the power I need to create beautifully lit photos. So thankful I took a chance on it.

Solid flash for fair cost

Now that I have been using these for around a year or more now, here goes my 10 cent review. For the money, you cannot go wrong. This is the older version. I am tempted to get the newer version, but these (I have 2) have done everything I need...inside or outside. The HHS option makes for crazy, fun and client loving photos outside in full sun. I have gotten some amazing shots for clients. Of course at first there was much learning and perfecting the usage of this flash. And versus ProPhoto.....I still have alot of cash in my pocket.

I'm Glad I Waited for This One

I've been getting by with slaved Speedlights, with lots of misfires and short trigger distances and having to be sure the lights are within "view" of the controller and waiting for recycling and having most but not all the power I wanted. Then Adorama offered a demo 600TTL on eBay and I grabbed it hoping it would be almost as good as the YouTube reviews suggest --it's better! I coupled it with the latest controller and a couple of receivers for my Speedlights (with the appropriate receivers they work more reliably, at much greater distance, and with no worries about orientation). For about $650, I've got a capable lighting rig I would've expected to cost 2-3x as much, which leaves room for better stands and plenty of modifiers. Good deal all around.

Half delivered

The lights themselves came quickly. The Canon trigger however has yet to come. Over a week later. I'd review the whole package if I could get it to work but without a trigger it's useless to me. Next time I'd go to B&H and get the Godox.

I bought this strobe for outdoor work in bright sun using the HSS. i tell you it has no t let me down . i only had it since Jan and have been doing some cold outdoor shoots just to test it, i just love this product. fast recycle time ,great color temp . its build is sturdy and well made. this light packs a punch. would highly recommend it. I did not get the TTL model because i just never shoot TTL so this is fine for me.

Fantastic value and performance

By Mark K.

I’m an early adopter on lighting gear. Always have been. And like all early adopters I run into the quirks and problems associated with early development of gear. I always test gear before I use it commercially, but sometimes my testing is not exhaustive enough to anticipate every situation. And as any working pro knows, something ALWAYS goes wrong on every shoot no matter how much you plan. It’s just part of the deal. I was one of the first adopters of PCB’s Einstein 640ws strobes.

By Jeff B.

This really cool. I have an a6300 and this works perfectly with it. Lets talk about recycle times. Unless you are on full power to 3/4 power this thing recycles almost instantly. I was really impressed with this considering it is using just a battery. For inside work this is perfect especially for kids. Outside depending on how much juice you need this will still work great, but a touch longer on the recycle time for full power. I am so happy to finally have an integrated lighting syst...
