Hey Gavin, just got my hands on one of these. Shot on Saturday for 9 hours, 9 models, on about 1/4 power and it lasted all day with juice left in the tank. Around 1200 shots

I bought an equivalent to the Evolv200 recently and I love it. I would bet this is a fun light as well. Small and powerful. Us old photographers get tired of lugging around heavy equipment.

Does the Flashpoint 600 XPLOR TTL HSS unit accommodate Profoto modifiers like the 300 or are special adapters required? In other words, would the modifiers fit the Flashpoint units because the are so similar to the Profoto strobes - B1, B1X, B10, D1, etc.? If special adapters are required, what are they? Thank you!

Since this light primarily fits the Glow modifiers that are made for this light, does anyone know if I can use a regular metal beauty dish on it? If so, how? What do I need to buy? I've reached out to Adorama but haven't heard back from anyone.

Now comes the eternal debate, a Flashpoint XPLOR 300 Pro vs a Flashpoint XPLOR Pro? (Or chiefly the Godox / main versions of the AD300 Pro / AD 200 Pro) I might aim for 2 of them. I know Adorama sells them now, and both are meant for ideal shooting conditions, but with the way the world is, and I usually prefer smaller stuff for my intended travel food photography kit (I already own x2 Godox V1 speedlights for my MFT gear & trigger, aka the Flashpoint Li-On X R2), but never used them so far. I’m hoping one day I’ll have that perfect lighting solution for my photography needs, and hoping Adorama can save the day, whether ordering online, or visiting your store in-person in NYC. 🙂

I think the big argument for the 300 is if you buy into the new godox mount which looks like the old S mount but downsized. That lets you drop the 300 into your bag like a lens.

Your probably right Jim. I've got a bunch of S-brackets and one fits perfectly in the same storage bag as a softbox. The new one I'm using here is a vast improvement on the original.

Got a couple of these light this summer (due to the recommendation from Tommy Reynolds) and I love them. Not only are they great inside and out (I still use mt AD600 on a beach or the like) but even for such a compact build it feels like it has a very study construction to it. Traded in the two AD200s I had to get my first one and it was so worth it.

Hello Sir, thanks for the detailed explanation and sample shots. I have a question - I am a beginner photographer from India and I was asked by a fashion startup company to shoot their apparel with models/mannequins in the studio. Our budget is very limited and I am looking at Godox AD300 Pro with a 120 CM Octabox as my key light. I already have a Godox TT685 and a small softbox which I can use as a rim/hair light or as a secondary source to light up the background. Could you please suggest if the AD300Pro and 120 CM Octobox would be enough to light up head to toe shots? Please suggest.

Hi, I’ve used the Godoy AD200Pro on a 150cm octabox and it works perfectly fine for almost 3 people. I think that with the AD300Pro it’s going to be enough.

Hi Edward. Yep the impromptu stripbox is something I've done many times before. Not perfect or pretty but it does the job. The yurt is a holiday rental in woods local to me. They have several on site as well as log cabins. Usually these would be book out all summer but this year it's yet another sad covid story.
