Questions & Answers

Shopper : Will you be adding the firmware update that Godox recently put out to change to 1/10th stop increments? Or do I need to to to Godox for that?Spencer M : Ask godox
Shopper : Can I use Nikon SB-600 as a slave for my Flashpoint XPLOR 600 (iTTL Nikon) with R2T-N Trigger for Nikon? The SB-600 will act as a back light so I can not sit it on top of R2 transmitter.Adam C : If you are asking can you place the SB-600 on top of the transmitter all on top of your camera the answer is yes but transmitter isn't really built for than and will not hold up well. I advise to ditch the SB-600 and get a Flashpoint Zoom Li-ion R2 TTL On-Camera Flash Speedlight For Nikon (V860II-N). I have sold off all my Nikon Speedlights and only use Flashpoint Zoom Li-ion R2 TTL On-Camera Flash Speedlight For Nikon (V860II-N). It is a GREAT system and it is the way to go.DAVID P : The SB-600 can be used as a remote slave flash and will be triggered by the XPLOR 600 strobe when it fires. You just need to set the Nikon flash into the optical slave mode. Since the SB-600 is not compatible with the remote R2 transmitters, you will need to manually set the power setting of the Nikon flash first.PHOTOGRAVURE P : You can use it as an optical slave on the sb600where it will respond to any flash (including your flashpoint). Flashpoint also has a wireless r2 trigger that you can use. It has a hotshoe that you can put the sb600 on. it cost about $40.
JAMES B : Is the Flashpoint XPLOR 600 HSS TTL Battery-Powered Monolight for Nikon (AD600)l completely functional with Pocket Wizard Flex TT5 for Nikon and the AC3 Zone Controller for Nikon?MARIA S : Flashpoint flashes uses R2 wireless system already inside the unit and all the transmitters (controllers) must be Flashpoint or GODOX brands (Flashpoint R2 Pro transmitter is the one I use as controller) ... Your Pocket Wizard is designed to be connected with Nikon brand flashes ... Your PW TT5 will work with the Flashpoint flashes as a dumb transmitter just telling the flash to discharge but not controlling power nor TTL .... This XPLOR 600 TTL is a game changer and newer model XPLOR 600 PRO is even better .... all my old Nikon flashes, Radio Poppers and other TTL transmitters been retired for the last 2 years ... once you turn this flash on there is no way back.... don't forget to buy diffusers like Beauty dish or others to soften and shape the light... you can see this flash images at (ullaphoto) ... Good Luck !!EROILDO C : Don’t think so . It would be easier and cheaper to use the current Godox/Flashpoiny trigger which supports TTL/HSS .

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.

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 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. Excellent...

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...
