Questions & Answers

SEAN M : Is this compatible with the new sony @1 ?  Open box, how many times do you think this has been fired off ?DORIE B : I purchased this item along wit another flash tube. The unit transmitter is for my Nikon and has performed very well,. The Godox is a great system. The newer model has a better flash tube design and is smaller, however the quality is comparable. Select the transmitter for a Sony and you will be elatedBILL N : The 1 uses the same hot shoe as the A6000, and my A6000 is compatible with the 600TTL, so yes it will work. You will need an R2 Pro trigger to link the camera and flash. As far as the open box issue, I would have no concerns. Adorama is one of the best companies in the business to deal with and they would insure that you are totally satisfied. These flashes are good for many thousands of firings, so the few times it might have been fire because it was open box would not be a concern for me. Hope this helps.JUAN S : Based on the Sony Website spec sheet, it is.MAJOR F : As long as you have the Sony trigger, it should be compatible.
Shopper : My question is for Dorie B - Won't the horse be spooked by the flash.  Will trainers allow it ?STEPHEN A : I have photographed horses using the Explor 600’s in show arenas as well as outdoors. Have used single and multiple strobe setups with human light stands and have never had an issue with a horse being spooked by the flash of the strobes. To be on the safe side, prior to the shoot I have always talked to the owner/trainer. We discuss the temperament of the horse and the possibility of the horse being agitated by the lights. So far,,no issues..VINCENT S : It’s best to ask the trainerDAVID W : I would suggest a constant light source and not a strobe flash when working around horses.
bokang r : Hello i am new to Off camera flash and still learning, will this work with sony a7iii?DORIE B : I have a nikon and you will probably need a trigger (transmitter) for the camera model. the unit works great. The new model has a different flash tube and is smaller but cost more. They make great units for the price and comparison to units that cost as twice as much.KEN R : Not sure. It uses a Flashpoint R2 trigger, which works with Canon and Nikon, but beyond that, I don't know. Look up the R2 trigger and see if it works with Sony.JAE THOMAS S : Yes!JOSUE R : Lo hemos usado con tx a 2.4 mhz desde sony, nikon y canon simultaneamente sin problema. Durante su operacion, el primer disparo sincroniza el valor configurado el segundo disparo es el correcto para tu foto.Segun tu apreciacion y area de trabajo podrias revisar trabajar con uno de 400 watts, este de 600 watts casi no lo hemos utilizado a toda su capacidad. Exito y buenos disparos !ALAN S : Check out this article It should help. I don't have a Sony a7iii but it looks like it does but with some caveats; Google the overrated photographer dot com for the article. Adorama doesn't allow links, sorry.PIERE T : Yes. As long as you get the Sony flash trigger for it.

Loving this light.

Loving this light! Easy user interface, plenty of power, I don't understand the comments I see online about build quality. It's a very well built piece of kit. Yes it's not a Broncolor but what is and it doesn't cost thousands. Looking to get a few more of these. and you can't beat the open box price.

Used But Is Just As They Say

It is just as the adorama description said. It works, and it looks new. The strobe sound is a tad different from my other xplor 600, but it works just fine.

Only one downside for me...

I bought 2 of these, open box, for a great price. It's hard to say anything bad about them at the price I paid. When I add more lights to my arsenal, these won't be what I go for. I'll probably buy the new version and/or a couple eVOLV 200 Pros. However, I see these 600s being a part of my kit for years to come. That being said, the downside is the recessed bulb. It's in no way a deal breaker, but the bulb sitting back like it does makes you have to consider your modifier purchases more than you should have to. Example: I bought the Glow EZ Lock 25" Beauty Dish and the Bowens mount on it makes the bulb on the FP 600 sit nearly too far back to use. It still works, but there's probably a stop of light going unused like this. Luckily, Cheetah Stand makes a low profile Bowens Speed Ring that fits the EZ Lock. After getting that the bulb sits deeper inside the modifier. Bottom line; If you can grab these lights for a couple hundred dollars less than the new version, do it. You won't regret it.

Powerhouse of lighting.

Everything looked new, and everything appears to be working as it should. Initially I thought I bought the wrong one, as the menu settings only showed Canon and Nikon for radio, however, once I turned on my Fuji transmitter, I saw a big “F” appear on the LCD, and everything synced up.

Go for it. If you use it as a hobby, you don't need PRO version. Cheaper and better battery - easy.

Godox AD600

Estimados, realiza la compra de un Godox AD600TTL, sin embargo mientras trabajaba con el mismo, verifico que mi compra no tiene la opción TTL, como se describía en la compra, solicito la devolución de mi dinero y se aplique a un GODOX AD600BM open box, la diferencia de este era de 100USD. No me es posible devolver el equipo ya que me encuentro fuera del país.

Excellent Flash! Best Buy for the Money

Can't say how impressed I have been with the Flashpoint EXPLOR 600. Has everything you could want like mono flashes costing 2-3 times the price. Are there better out there, sure. But not at this price they're isn't. HSS, modeling lamp. Powerful enough to overcome direct sun. Then with the accessory flash head 600W and a 1200W, how awesome is that for working on boom stand, etc. The OPEN BOX was just like brand new, couldn't tell the difference. Love It!

I bought this mono light to add to the rest of the light Arsenal I have. Having the ad200 and the v860ii this is my go to light for studio and sunny California day light if you have been in the market for a mono light and you already have Flashpoint/Godox system it’s a no brainer.

Super!!!.. Super!!!.. Excited

I saw so many videos of the Flashpoint Explor 600 on YouTube that I figured I would give it a try. The unit is absolutely amazing. No cords on the floor and I have gone as much as a week of moderate to heavy shooting without thinking of the power. This battery holds a charge like crazy. Adorama is the best. Super fast delivery and package air tight. I will be buying another soon. If you're consider a light source with lots of power and convenience please give these a try. I couldn't be more happy with my purchase. Keith Woodward, Super satisfied customer.

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.
