Let me start by saying...that I am no longer a working photographer and have not yet used the flash on location which is the major reason for purchase. Indoors, I've shot some still life items and found that the flash works as advertised. After making sure that the Flashpoint R2 ttl transmiter and bridge reciever are on the same channel and group, I'm able to remotely adjust the flash unit as well as fire the flash. Recycle time is as advertised and I'm able to shoot high speed sync with no problem. So far a great manual flash. Still undecided if I can live without ttl, but will decide before the 30 day period has expired.

Building off of the success of the Pro-Flash One Eighty, the Strobies Pro-Flash 360 offers the same great features, with twice the power! That is equivalent of over five times the power of the average speedlight. The Pro-Flash gives you precise manual control with an 8-stop range adjustable in 1/3-stop increments and features a 270° rotating head with 90° tilt capability.
More than five times the power of a speedlight
Versatile
Rugged construction
Can mount directly to your camera hot shoe
Battery Pack capable of 450 full-power flashes
The Pro-Flash 360 emits a powerful 360Ws flash and boasts a full-power recycling time of 4.5 seconds. Five different flash modes give you the ability to fine-tune your light output in any situation. Your basic Manual mode lets you control the power in 1/3-stop increments. S1 mode activates the optical slave and lets you trigger the Pro-Flash using another flash source. S2 mode also uses the optical slave, but will ignore the first pre-flash often-used in red-eye reduction flash modes. RPT mode (repeat) allows you to use your Pro-Flash as a Stroboscopic Flash for creative stop motion" photography. High-Speed Sync mode lets you use your Pro-Flash at shutter speeds greater than 1/250sec., allowing you to properly expose for bright daylight while illuminating your subject. (High-Speed Sync is only available when used with a capable trigger).
The Pro-Flash is compatible with an array of available accessories including umbrellas, snoots, beauty dish, honeycomb grid and more. The Pro-Flash 360 is intended to be used off-camera with several different triggering options. Pro-Flash can be triggered via optical slave, sync port or the Strobies Pro-Flash Transmitter/Receiver Kit. The hotshoe on the bottom of the 360 means this unit can also be used on camera as well if desired.
The simplified controls, large LCD display, MF-Assist Beam, Audio Ready function and many other features make the Strobies Pro-Flash 360 extremely easy to use, allowing you to quickly set up and get your shot.This kit also includes the Strobies Pro-Flash Battery Pack. On a full charge, the Pro-Flash Battery Pack provides up to 450 full-power flashes from the Pro-Flash 360. Using the optional power cables, the Pro-Flash Battery Pack can also be used to power Canon, Nikon, Sony and Metz speedlights and can offer up to 1400 full-power flashes, while reducing the recycle time.
