Super light combo. I use these regularly on street and location shoots. Good battery life and quality of light.

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...

Flashpoint XPLOR 600 HSS Battery-Powered Monolight with Built-in R2 2....this is a great portable strobe and should help elevate any photographers game when using off camera flash. I definitely recommend this light.

This was a great buy. Used it once straight out of the box and I’m excited to use it outside soon with high speed sync.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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'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.

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.

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. Excellent...

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...

Your idea of monolights is about to change. Not just for the better. For the Best.
Introducing the ultimate portable solution for studio quality flash with remote wireless TTL totally independent of power cords and generators: The Flashpoint XPLOR600 TTL MonoLight with R2 Radio Remote. It's the most comprehensive self-contained full featured 600ws strobe that goes virtually anywhere, with wireless TTL control for Nikon and Canon, High Speed Sync, powered by its own massive internal and interchangeable high energy 11.1 volt Lithium Ion 8700mAh battery, capable of over 450 full power flash bursts on a single charge.
XPLOR600 is the one monolight for all your assignments, all your challenges, backed by industry leader, Flashpoint. The flash features many settings for the pro, like FEC, rapid stroboscopic flash, first or second curtain sync, LED Modeling, upgradable firmware and new camera system compatibility, clear LCD display, plus 11 advanced options features. The optional Remote 600 and 1200ws 8 foot extension heads transform the monolight into a boom friendly powerhouse. All the popular Bowens S mount light modifiers fit directly on the monolight or extension heads.
But that's only the beginning. There is the R2 advantage. One Remote to Rule Them All.
The remarkable R2 TTL Wireless Flash System is the advanced 2.4GHz radio remote that adds camera TTL dedicated custom functions to your multi flash experience whether you are using Canon or Nikon for your photography. 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 the status 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.
One Radio Remote System to Unify the Flashpoint Flash Force. One Remote to Streak, Zoom and XPLOR.
Move over battery powered portable TTL Monolights. XPLOR600TTL has arrived. With a whole family.
All the R2 enabled family communicate seamlessly: the lithium powered Zoom Li-on Canon, Nikon and soon, Sony TTL speedlights, the Zoom AA alkaline energized speedlight, the fantastic Streaklight 360 Canon and Nikon TTL powerhouse, and this masterful 600ws XPLOR600 monolight. Older Flashpoint flashes can be fired and controlled off camera through the R2 Radio Remote Receiver FPRRR2RC to remote link seamlessly.
This is all you have ever wanted in a traveling monolight. The compact XPLOR600 TTL can be set to a wide range of 7 stop power levels from 1/128 to full in 1/3 stop increments, whether in hand or R2 wireless remote. Recycle speed is exceptionally fast, from .01 to 2.5 seconds with a built-in cooling fan t o keep it cool and stabile. All of these system functions are displayed clearly on the generous dot matrix LED display, including the link to the built-in 32 channel R2 2.4GHz Radio Remote Receiver that responds to your every whim. The LED modeling lamp is gentle on your batteries energy reserve, with a special timer for auto shutoff. The XPLOR600 TTL can be triggered traditionally, as well, by 3 different ways: Corded sync, photosensitive optical slave, and built-in wireless receiver that speaks optical IR or radio R2 Canon E-TTL and Nikon iTTL.
Synopsis
Real 600 watt seconds. 2.5 second full power recycle. Second to none wireless R2 TTL. Second nature on location. Your instant success.

Flashpoint XPLOR 600ws extension head
The Flashpoint XPLOR 600ws 8 foot extension head transforms the XPLOR600 series monolight into a boom friendly powerhouse, perfect for use with softboxes or as a gridded hair light. Connects simply to any XPLOR by unplugging the glass shielded flashtube from the XPLOR monolight body, locking the pronged cable link in place and then inserting the original flashtube on the head extension sockets. The lightweight remote head is then acting as an extension cord between the strobe and remote flash tube, easily enabling remote, difficult to place precise lighting. You don't give up the convenience of an umbrella holder, a free moving 180 degree tilt lock, and all popular Bowens style mount light modifiers that fit directly on the monolight extension heads.
Included with this item is a zippered soft case and shoulder strap that provides secure housing for the monolight body specifically for extension head implementation. The case is great for hanging on a light stand or on the move with a lightman while offering protection from the elements. To make it even more practical, there is a window for constant monitoring of the XPLOR LCD display panel with access to the control buttons.
Makes the XPLOR even more!
