This is my second XPLOR 600 and it paired perfectly with my existing one. Was able to easily balance the lighting across a large group photo of a 30-member wedding party.

I purchased this as an open box item. I honestly can not see any sign that this was ever opened let alone used before! I couldn't be happier. I won't go into details on the light simply because that info is available in the specs. But I will just say that it is every bit as awesome as everyone says it is. Adorama is the best!

It has become my favorite flash for all occasions. Easy to set up and the battery lasts me all day. The best part is I can use it as a video light too.

The Explor 600 is awesome! It has plenty of power to balance sunlight in the middle of the day. It's size and weight is manageable. Build quality appears to be excellent.

This flash is great. For the price it cant be beat. I have the HSS non TTL version and its perfect from me. I mainly shoot outdoor portraits and this is perfect. I can get a great exposure and perfect lighting every time!! For the price is by far the best you can get. Its the nest best thing to Pro-Photo! It even comes with a nice and sturdy storage/carrying bag! A big plus. I use mine with a EZ lock 38' 3foot deep parabolic octa and and impact heavy duty air stand. A great combo. I also have the Fuji R2 transmitter. Would highly recommend .

I'm so glad there are still examples of this model (XPLOR 600 HSS) available. The newer PRO model is far more expensive and I don't need TTL. Additionally, even the lower powered 400Ws units cost more than this. It's exactly what I need and at a very good price. I bought two units marked "open box" and both came in what looked like new packaging with the protective plastic strips still in place over the "windows". Both were delivered in a couple of days with online status updates constantly available. Both worked flawlessly. This is why I keep buying from Adorama!

Im very happy so far with purchase of this unit, so fast and easy for locations shooting where you just want to get in and get out The HSS mode works like a charm, Im able to synch at 8000th with family groups using a glow small octagon without from diffuser. My recommendation use a sturdy stand as unit is top heavy and wind can knock over.

This is an excellent flash right out of the box!I bought it along with the R2 Pro Mark II transmitter for my Nikon D750 and they make a great combo! I was having issues with other flashes and triggers getting sync speeds above 1/160 but with the XPLOR 600 and R2 Pro Mark II, HSS works flawlessly! There's plenty of power and although I haven't had the opportunity to test the battery life for long shoots, I hear that doesn't disappoint either!

We have many choices available for a portable strobe, Flashpoint makes high end lighting in a budget friendly strobe. The explor600 strobes are an awesome addition to the studio or on the go shooting. This is my third explore 600 HSS. It’s an amazing tool to have handy when shooting above 1/250. I love the flexibility this unit offers with the battery on the back of the light. I’ve used these strobes for about a year now and have been thrilled with their performance.

This moonlight comes packed with some serious power. If you’re a fan of OCF then look no further because this moonlight will fulfill all your needs. I had the option of being able to purchase the “TTL” Monolight but chose this one instead because I don’t mind being in full control of my lighting. If you’re an individual that understands OCF and understand how to compensate and create a great image with Aperature, FStop, and Iso then you will be astound at some of the most beautiful images you can create. I mainly enjoy using my monolight around the “Golden Hour” of the day because with the correct compensation you’ll create some of the best images ever

I purchased this as I needed a 600 for outdoor shooting. It works perfectly on my Fuji camera with HSS. I use this manual version as I do not use TTL lighting. Of course all controls are modified on the camera transmitter. I never have to touch the unit. This works as advertised and even comes with its own carrying case. Love it.
