Just What I Was Looking For

The TT600 is just what I was looking for. It performs as described and meets my needs. I wanted a manual flash so I can control what I'm getting. I may need to pick up a new remote trigger to take advantage of the HSS. Was also surprised by the ability to get multiple flashes per exposure for some creative shots. The low price is also a big plus.

A Solid Manual Flash

The Flashpoint Zoom R2 Manual Flash is very solid. I appreciate the fact that it works so well with the Flashpoint R2 Nano Remote. Being a manual flash, it means I am in complete control of flash output levels. So far it has been consistent and works very simply.

Love it.

Reasonably priced, powerful, relatively simple(compared to the Li-ion version-I bought both). I use them with an R2 Pro MII flash trigger and this one was waaay easier to set up compared to the Li-ion version.

Good manual flash

Very good unit. I would have preferred that I could change the zoom as well as power but I guess it's pretty rare that I change the zoom once I set it. Good manual only flash.

Great Product

Works great for taking pictures to put on market place and eBay. The manual is a little difficult to understand, especially when trying to use the slave portion of the flash unit. Great Black Friday price!

Nice flash, but it eats AAA batteries almost as fast as you can eat your lunch! Get the Li-on rechargable version of this flash and your life will change!

Powerful and useful light

I use this with a white umbrella to provide fill in conjunction with a R2 Monolight with Softbox for portraiture. An since it is TTL I can use it directly on my camera

Flashpoint Zoom TTL R2 Flash

The Flashpoint zoom is a mostly plastic, but durable flash. I am pleased with the up and down and 360 degree rotation of the head. There is a bit of a learning curve for the use of the flash, but it can be used effectively in a short time. I haven't had enough time to try all of the features, and there are plenty of those features.

Seems to be a capable product. Only time will tell.

It is about 20% larger than the Nikon SB600 that it is replacing. So far I have not been able to make it work off camera.

Definitely a lifesaver. Had to shoot that was supposed to be for golden hour, and the client showed up late. Thankfully I had just bought this product, and was able to finish the shoot and get paid.

Great flash (although a bit big)

I bought this flash as part of a kit with the Sony A7R II. The flash adapter is HUGE. Even my friend commented saying that the flash itself looks bigger than the camera body. Apart from the size, it works great!

I paid a great price for this flash.

Price of flash was great. That's why I bought it. Unfortunately, I loaded it with D***cell batteries, which leaked, and destroyed the flash. D***cell would not compensate me fair market value for the flash, so I never replaced it. I am still waiting for Adorama to put the flash on sale again. As for D***cell batteries, they destroyed about a half-dozen devices of mine, and only compensated me partial value. They even made me pay for the batteries which leaked and destroyed my devices! I swore right then and there that I would NEVER buy D***cell batteries again in my lifetime. Caveat Emptor!

Great So Far But Don't Use AWB!

This works surprisingly well and from what I have seen in using it and what I have been reading about the Sony genuine counterpart, they are nearly identical in exposure accuracy. More testing on a real-world job will be needed to be sure. The only nagging problem with some Sony bodies (I tried it on the a7C) is in TTL, the camera recognizes the flash as a daylight balanced light source and thus defaults to a daylight white balance when you set the camera to AWB. Ridiculous since most flash photos actually result in a mixed Kelvin temperature and unless you're in a totally light controlled studio you never get an exact 5600K color temp! But it seems to be a Sony Issue rather than a Flashpoint issue. Otherwise I like the unit and so far it was well worth the modest price!

Handy piece of gear!

Great speedlight to use in tandem with my Flashpoint Evolv 200 during wedding receptions. Rooms are so dark and the more light I can get, the better. Well made, perhaps just slightly less build quality as my EX600?s but this flash is also 1/4 the price of the Canons. I used to use the R2 transmitter and mount a EX600 on that but it was too top heavy. After spending 10-15 minutes setting up the R2 flash and ratios with my Evolv, I was good to go. Will probably buy another one soon.

I love my Flashpoint TTL R2 flashes--I have 3! They work great with no added triggers or cables. Seriously, these are everything I want in a flash at a great prices! I had one issue with my last one though, it was sent to me in a padded envelop. The problem was that it got squished enough that the ministand rubbed the paint off the top of my new flash! It wasn't a big enough deal that I was going to ship it back, but I take pride in my gear and it all looks like new, except for my newest piec...

What i never realized is if i put this speedlight on camera i can control other R2 speedlights directly and even my Xplor! i also purchased the $179 lithium ion R2 speedlight but havent received it yet (back order).

Get your flash off camera in order to create advanced lighting effects with this Flashpoint Zoom R2 TTL Flash with R2ProN Trigger Kit.
The flash itself is very capable with a 197' guide number at ISO 100 and 200mm and it has a built-in 2.4GHz X wireless radio system, which is compatible with Nikon i-TTL and is designed to work with the included X1T-N trigger. This setup provides users with the ability to work at distances up to 328' and control up to five groups on one of 32 channels.

The R2 TTL Wireless Flash System is the advanced 2.4GHz radio remote that adds camera TTL dedicated custom functions to your multi flash experience. Easy to use buttons command a full range of functions like reliable channel triggering, group mode selectivity, HSS, with powerful signal strength and exceptional stability to your selected camera flash language. LED panels clearly display thestatus of all remote R2 compliant strobes so you always have control of group lighting mastery. R2 wireless communication gives speed of light response to on camera or off camera R2 family devices for a spectacular advantage on the shoot in any environment.

The key component that makes this new flash stand apart from others is the proprietary TTL and HSS enabled 2.4GHz R2 Radio Remote System radio triggers transmits atop a Nikon body with the essential TTL pass-through and laser AF assist and works with the complete family of Flashpoint Speedlights, Monolights and Strobe lights with R2 TTL radio transceiver built right in.

All the R2 enabled family communicate seamlessly: the lithium powered Zoom Li-on Nikon, Canon and Sony TTL speedlights, the Zoom alkaline energized speedlight,the fantastic Streaklight 360 Nikon and Canon TTL powerhouse, and the masterful 600ws XPLOR600 monolights. Older Flashpoint flashes can be fired and controlled off camera while being attached to the R2 Radio Remote Receiver FPRRR2RN to grace remote link to earlier models.
