Questions & Answers

CAMERON F : What type of transmitter would I need for this? If I bought two, is there a transmitter that will fire both?shenelle W : i used pocket wizards, they only controlled the triggering not the intensity of the flash. you would manually have to do thatNIGEL D : Any system that has a pc sync port to receive sync cable from mono lightJAMES W : Any remote trigger system will work that can plug into the PC connector. These also have an optical slave, so they can be triggered from a built in camera flash.SABRINA S : I use pocket wizards set in the same channel from my camera to trigger, or I set them as spaces from my on camera flash for receptions. Hope this helps.ANTHONY P : Cameron, Buy a universal trx/rec one like ( NiceFoto AC-04) and if you have more than one strobe setup, set the second strobe to the slave mode so the first strobe that has the rec connected triggers your second one... T
Xuezhong W : HSS with Canon 5D III. Will I need to buy any transmitter for this?ANDREW R : HSS is really determined by the wireless trigger system your using. The 1220m does not include a built-in wireless triggering system. You would need to purchase a trigger/receiver pair separately.

A beast of a strobe that will run forever.

I have been using three of these for over ten years. They still work as well as when I bought them, same flash bulb, I easily have 5,000 pops on each of the three I own. This goes the same for the 900watt and 1200 watt versions. These are older, so no remote setting, but you can still sync with single pin remotes and slaves plugged into the 1/4 sync jack.

Powerful but heavy. AC/DC< works anywhere.

This light has the power I need for outdoor portraits. It is adjustable so it would work anywhere. It is heavy, but if you need lots of power, this light is awesome! You will need a heavy duty stand for this light.

What a great light

I was super excited to get this light kit as much of the photography that i do is on location and needed a reliable setup. I started with a few speed lites and am currently transitioning to these bigger lights that are capable of HSS this is sure a bang for the buck

Perfect! I take it with me to all my shoots. Simple to use and the battery lasts forever. It's well built and very sturdy. This flash can last forever.

Bulb has burnt out twice in two years. If it's used a lot (a big shoot with lots of customers like a prom) it overheats and won't work until it cools. Otherwise it's great - lot more power than the Flashpoint 320M.

Great second light! Awesome for the price.

This is a great light if you are ok with adjusting it locally on the back of the light. Power adjustment can not be controlled by a transmitter

FP 1220W and two FP 600W

Hi I bought one FP 1220W and two FP 600W for my studio. They are working well without anyflaw until now. I love them very much. I intend to buyFlashpoint R2 Pro MarkII 2.4GHz Transmitter for Nikon and its receivers for using up for 01 Nikon flash SB-900 and two Nikon SB-910 and two Metzs 48-AF for Nikon & Metz 58-AF for Nikon plus Yongnuo YN565EX for Nikon because those flashes should work together with Flashpoint R2 Pro MarkII 2.4GHz Transmitter for Nikon and its receiver as both designed for Nikon and my purpose is use many source of lights as much as I can, such as hair light, trim light, even supply more lighting up for group people because Flashpoint R2 Pro MarkII 2.4GHz Transmitter for Nikon have cable connecting between one FP 1220W and two FP 600W with FP receivers. I do not buy Flashpoint R2 Pro MarkII 2.4GHz Transmitter for Nikon yet but my friend bought Godox X Pro N and its receiver had tested on all my own flashes worked well. They work well together as fas as Godox X ProN and Flashpoint R2 Pro MarkII 2.4GHz Transmitter for Nikon both desinged for Nikon. My friend bought his own but I like Flashpoinnt than Godox. I just tell what I knew

These are very versatile lights. The ability to use ac or the battery has been a life saver when running cords isn’t an option. Very reliable for a low priced strobe.

The Flashpoint 620M is all that......and more!!

I normally shoot with ProFoto TTL flashes and decided I wanted a monolight for more power and versatility. I decided to try the Flashpoint 620M after reading a lot of other reviewers state how much they liked this model. I only wanted/needed a 300 watt model but decided on the versatility of AC/DC. I have been completely satisfied with this unit and quite frankly somewhat surprised on how much value you get in this model! I highly recommend it!

320M strobe, good, but needs a standard mount.

Drawback is the goofy flashpoint mount. Decent studio strobe, adjustable, good consistency in light color.

This unit packs a lot of power for the price with good build quality and power consistency. Color variation might be less than perfect compared to premium European brands.

Was good a few years ago, now not so much.

I bought one of these a few years ago as my first battery strobe. It's not bad so much as the rest of the market is so much better now. The analog power control isn't very accurate, nor does it give you the range of power the new units do. I used a light meter to add true power index marks to the back and even then it's not repeatable to any fine degree. It has to dump power when you dial down unlike more modern systems. There's no way to control power remotely, so when it's up on top of a 10 ft stand, you'll have to lower to change settings. One of its few graces is that you can easily run on AC or battery.

Great Kit!

This is a great kit. Everything is nice and durable. This is great for on location work as it can be powered with a battery pack. I use it in my home for portrait sessions.

When capturing the essence of portraiture, fashion, and beauty photography, the Solo Softbox Head & Shoulders 1220M 1 MonoLight Kit stands out as an essential tool for professional photographers aiming to achieve the softest, most natural glow of light. This high-quality, durable, and versatile kit is specifically designed to illuminate head and shoulder subjects with precision and ease, making it an ideal choice for portrait photographers and videographers who demand excellence in their lighting setups.


The kit's centerpiece, the Flashpoint 1220M Monolight, is a powerhouse within the M Series family of portable studio monolights, boasting a robust 600 WS output encapsulated in a sleek and rugged housing. It offers a wide range of continuous variable power settings from 1/32 to full output across 5 stops, complete with self-bleed circuitry for precise control. The 250-watt modeling lamp is adjustable in correlation with power settings, ensuring you have the perfect preview of your lighting effects.


Equipped with a built-in optical slave photocell trigger, replaceable flash tube, and both visual and audible recycle signals, the 1220M Monolight is designed for convenience and reliability. Its cooling fan ensures the unit remains stable and cool during extended use, while the flash duration captures rich colors and full-spectrum vibrancy. With a rapid recycle time of up to 2 seconds on AC power, you'll never miss a moment of action.


The Glow 24x24 Softbox, included in the kit, is revered for its ability to diffuse light seamlessly, creating an even and balanced contrast that's perfect for portrait, wedding, editorial, and product still life photography. The softbox features removable double diffusers, reinforced support rod pockets, and Velcro closures for hassle-free assembly and superior light control.


Supporting the lighting setup is the Flashpoint black aluminum light stand, an epitome of durability and versatility. This lightweight yet sturdy stand is engineered with a reversible 1/4" or 3/8" screw on a 5/8" stud, allowing for perpendicular mounting and compatibility with a variety of equipment. Its large, easy-to-turn knobs, variable tension, and rubber-tipped feet provide stability and ease of use, ensuring your lighting remains secure. The standard 9.5-foot stand can support up to 18 lbs of gear, making it suitable for large umbrella and softbox configurations, and its portability makes it an excellent choice for on-location shoots.


In summary, the Solo Softbox Head & Shoulders 1220M 1 MonoLight Kit is a testament to Flashpoint's commitment to providing powerful, reliable, and portable lighting solutions. Whether you're a seasoned professional or an aspiring artist, this kit will empower you to master the art of lighting and bring your creative vision to life.
