Saw countless videos about the Flashpoint/Godox AD600 and after watching this video with samples, it clinched the deal for me and I purchased it about 7 months ago. No regrets whatsoever....other than I have not been able to use it much due to horrible California Bay Area weather. Soon it will be consistent and then, it's on!! Thanks, as always, Jason!!

FYI, the pronunciation is God Ox, after the Chinese brand name 神牛

Ok, not to sound like a total noob, but this is the first video/resource I've ever seen stating what a bowens mount is...I've had no idea! hahaha! I love the step by step description and review. Many thanks!

Dude...maybe it's our last name tocayo because I said the same thing when he explained it LOL!

Johnny Guerrero no worry my man..

@omegaman1409 Год назад

Ad600 still holds its own today. Before I owned an alien bees which I had to use separate receiver and battery to operate.

@JasonLanierPhotography Год назад

Yes it does

@p.burley4533 4 года назад

Great knowledge transfer. I got the Pro last month and found tips off this video.

@kathyrobinson1975 7 лет назад

Thank you for all of these videos Jason! I am working on taking one of your workshops soon.

Thanks to your review, and Adorama Black Friday sales, I picked up 2 lights, same Westcott gear !! :) Cheers,Dave

How is Godox Ad200 to begin indoor and Outdoor Off camera flash , We have used Speedlite for off camera flash so far and was thinking off upgrading to ad200 , Any recommended Flash modifier to use with AD200 Wistro ? I have small Umbrella Softbox (Neewer 28 inches x 28 inches/70 cm x 70 cm Speedlite ) but want something better with AD200 . Thanks

@JGES06 5 лет назад

Thanks for the information. Beautiful pictures.

@Gonzo08401 7 лет назад

Jason, your videos have led me to the Xplor 600. My question is are you using the TTL version or manual? If you plan on doing any tutorial sessions on the East coast please let me know. I’d love to learn some of your tricks. Great video as always!

@AlexZettl 7 лет назад

great Video i also own the 600b , there one more positve thing thing to mention , its multi system capabilitys, u can use the same 600b with a canon and a sony you just need different trigger, that is especially interesting for many canon folks switching to sony but keeping their canon as a back up like me

@JasonLanierPhotography 7 лет назад

Yep!

@derinmavi9946 5 лет назад

I loved the jokes beside the work you did. Thanks. You really convinced me into buying AD600. I was considering it nowadays.

@florence512 7 лет назад

Hi Jason, thanks for these videos...they have been so helpful as I have started out with my photography. I am about to buy this flash...have been debating for awhile but your video has clarified things for me.

@pictureperfect8471 2 года назад

I am sitted here wondering how to use this same light I got. Do you have a video for the whole basic set up?

@buellcrazy 7 лет назад

Man you are looking great Jason, look so much more healthier....respect for the effort you have put in! And your videos are awesome too, love the new series.

@Borderlands808 3 года назад

What do you do when you’re taking sunset or sunrise shots and there are NO CLOUDS around? Without clouds in the sky, it just seems so bland/boring. Suggestions or tips?

@shanepoole2643 6 лет назад

Awesome video thanks... over in the UK they're call paxapro!.. I'll be getting one shortly for outdoors dance photography

@DeaconWillJohnson 7 лет назад

Ditto, I had the Profotto D2 500W with the TTL Air Remote, and loved it, until I had to go out on location and my D2 but it was way too powerful to run on my miniVagabond. I sent it back and got the Flashpoint Xplor 600 and I have not missed a beat. The wind got me when I had it on a light stand and it fell on the cement, I picked it up and brushed it off and it still worked. Love being able to work with groups. I use my Godox 360 as a fill light (had to buy a flashpoint receiver). I rarely shoot full power, and my battery lasts almost all week (3-4 different shoots). Great buy, Adorama just had the TTL version for $550.

@curtisclement 7 лет назад

I own this strobe and love it!

@ecamormex 7 лет назад

I've seen several of this guy's videos in the past few weeks. The information can be helpful, yes, but his arrogance and ego and creepiness factor with the models get in the way. He's trying to look cool, hipster. Then he touches the models and calls them "honey," like they were some dumb, little girls that need him. Not the behavior from a professional.

@whatzmynamel 5 лет назад

I thought it was just me... lol.

@Celestialrob 7 лет назад

Same light, same C stand, same camera.. awesome combo. Great video Jason. The Godox/Flashpoint system is bringing so much to us non hi end pros. Loving this series ..and yes, you lookin' good!

@JasonLanierPhotography 7 лет назад

Robert Holloway thank you brother!!

@joefoto 4 года назад

do you know if the R2 transmitter will change the TTL compinsation ? I have the other transmitter and everything works but I can't change the TTL settings. Thanks!

@jamesdeak630 7 лет назад

@thomaslenard2465 7 лет назад

Tip for shooting HSS flash in bright light... Use a .3 ND filter on your primes... This will cut the light by 1/2 and allow you to shoot at F1.4... I live in Arizona, so I do this most of the time.

@JasonLanierPhotography 7 лет назад

Thomas Lenard yes I know. But as I mentioned the purpose was to show what this light could do without any other diffusers, ND filters etc..:)

@goldeneagle256 7 лет назад

better not use the ND filter if you dont have to..... the best filters are quite expencive and still gives a little bit of image quality reduction...

@thomaslenard2465 7 лет назад

I only use it when shooting into the sun...I mostly do watersports photography... .3 ND is the right amount to get the shutter speed below 1/8000 at F1.4 or F1.8 without any quality reduction.

@above6129 7 лет назад

I would like to see you in turkey, if you want history and different architectural structures you can take a few photos

@josephgarcia3767 2 года назад

Excellent tutorial videos. Those who question his look should remember this is a RU-vid video channel and his liveliness brings good energy. Don't really feel he's objectifying anyone. Additionally, I've been taught by outstanding teachers, whether they've got a strong personality or not they accomplished their goal to educate. This guy's got a great personality. I'd like to try one of his workshops.

7 лет назад

Hi Jason, hope you can find some spare time to reply. I've just bought my AD600 unit, and plan to use it on beach locations like you do. I'm worried regarding its weather sealing (there's a fan inside of that thing!). Can salty moisture coming from the waves, an overall salty humidity you find on beaches hurt the strobe's electronics? I mean, the fan inside will be literally sucking air with particles of salty water, that can't be good for the flash. How is your experienced regarding this? Keep up with the amazing work! I subscribed to your channel!

@wizardking1508 7 лет назад

jason please can you tell me your lens..the bigger one...please please..anyone can answer me...PLEASE..Jason i'm your hardcore fan...Please,tell me...

@frederikmaj4643 7 лет назад

Hello. Does the godox trigger produce any shutter lag with the Sony's multi interface hotshoe?

@tivanhel9052 6 лет назад

I'm watching all your clips and you THE BEST. You have to go to the doctor. The most likely pain from MAJO-MAJO disease. Scan your head. I'm telling you this watch 10:51. I hope it's nothing.

@BrentRivers 7 лет назад

These really are great lights, and a great system. I dumped everything I had, and replaced with these, and have recently added the zoom speed lights. I've not had a moment's trouble out of the triggers. Glad to see you using, and endorsing them. As I have to rely on others to feel better about my decisions.. ;)

@Hawtload 6 лет назад

internal battery.. TTL... HSS... Sony compatible... If they just had an on camera flash that could use a radio transmitter to trigger the Xplor600 I would be in heaven

@billmorley3530 5 лет назад

In the video you're using a wide angle lens, so it seems like the model is way further back. What was the actual flash to subject distance. Also, I notice you are shooting at dusk. How will this flash work in broad daylight? Will it have enough power so that you can move it further back for full length shots and group portraits at weddings?

@oc2phish07 7 лет назад

Can't come up with any unique comments I am afraid so, Great video Jason, as always, and BOY, did you get that shot! Stunning.

@JasonLanierPhotography 7 лет назад

LOL, thank you!

@patrick4612 6 лет назад

Is it worth it to get the TTL version?

@NestoRides514 7 лет назад

Funny thing is at about the 4 minute mark, when you were about the educate us on how to create the fake skies, the video's exposure changed like someone flipped the switch and the skies looked fake... lol

@PsychicWorldTV 7 лет назад

I religiously watch your videos and they are really really worthwhile in this particular video would you have used a circular polarising I don't often see you mention using polarisers and wondered what you thought?

@JasonLanierPhotography 7 лет назад

Neil Bigwood I'm not opposed to polarizers but I don't use them very often

Santa maría Guadalupe!... Is Brenda your assistant now? What did I miss?... She was your model in Guatemala, right?... Well she is beautiful

@mandurahchess 7 лет назад

Jinbei has one too. It's pretty similar to this one. And Jinbei also has one that does TTL. Protog has videos about them both.

@Der_Marc 7 лет назад

If u mean the HD610. NO, NOT FOR SONY

@mandurahchess 7 лет назад

Marc Hörrmann the HD600v is pretty new, I believe one for Sony is coming. I want it for Fujifilm.... there is a work around Cactus V6 Mark II supports HSS and can fire, but not manage, studio lights. I have not verified this... You need a trigger that supports HSS. it sends a signal before the shutter opens. It can be a speedlight, it doesn't have to light the subject. You need studio lights, or a trigger, that responds optically. The light has to stay on for the sync speed. I imagine that if you have an HSS trigger for the studio lights you can control the lights with that. I think a lightning trigger might wwwork too, to trigger the camera when the flash flashes.

@mandurahchess 7 лет назад

Marc Hörrmann the hd610 does TTL.I think there is a trigger for the HD600V. I'm interested in Fujifilm and Canon.

@Der_Marc 7 лет назад

John Summerfield but u cant control with the trs-v trigger the new HD610V.

@mandurahchess 7 лет назад

Marc Hörrmann That is true. I decided that I didn't want to spend the extra money for TTL, so didn't investigate it. The TRS-V does control the HD600v, but doesn't support HSS. For HSS you need a trigger that understands your camera. I have TR-A6 for Canon.

@willrivers7931 7 лет назад

@NavinSaeed 5 лет назад

Such a cool personality!!!

@JonathanVarasRoco 6 лет назад

Hi Jason, great video!. I bought a AD600 a few months ago and I got a question... when I shoot in HSS with my nikon D610 I'm always watching a strip of light on the lower edge of the sensor and I don't know why, I have used 1/4000 and 1/2000 with different apertures and ISO's and nothing, something is happening with the shutter I think, but it has happened to you or someone else?

@michaelbennett8847 7 лет назад

Is there a situation where you would recommend the TTL version? wedding? lots of changing light situations? or you prefer manual no matter what? do you have a link to that Sea/C stand?

@Vectorr66 7 лет назад

I really want to get one. The other one I saw you shooting year or so ago had issues with HSS I think.

@damonmason9233 7 лет назад

Phenomenal! I was looking at purchasing this flash! This has really made my decision! Love that you're doing this series!

@artoflighte 4 года назад

@dinkobilic9078 7 лет назад

i wonder if strobepro is sister company. i am looking at their product and it looks like a twin.

@DjKarlVictory 6 лет назад

I have a big problem plz help: i got a Canon 80D, 50mm f1.8, and Yn685 flash with wireless on top of my camera, so! When i take picture, the exposure keep changing overtime, so! I shoot in live view, how can i stop the exposure going up and down, so! I have that, it has to be fix, even im in manual mode

@PaulApplebyphotography 7 лет назад

These gear videos are brilliant. Thank you for taking the time to help us identify gear we could use to better our photography. Do you ever use ND filters in this situation if the light is just too bright, and 8000th sec isn't allowing you to use your widest aperture? Cheers! Paul.

@mauriceguillory1348 7 лет назад

Yes you could do that Paul..

@AD.H. Год назад

What is the light stand brand and model?

@davidnelson5100 6 лет назад

My question is if you are shooting at say 2.8 at 1/4000 how do you not over expose the model?

@manueldiazderada 5 лет назад

Jason, the grip you use with the godox ad 600 pro is not the original, which one is this?

@snapjacksonphotography 6 лет назад

I see from your link that there is a TTL and Non TTL version. Could you briefly describe why you recommend the Non-TTL. What is the difference? Besides the price? THANK YOU!

@snapjacksonphotography 6 лет назад

Or do any of you on this thread know. I’ve seen a lot of people ask, but no answer. Thank you in advance!

@davidhammond1475 4 года назад

rotolight for film effects in good, but for flash it sucks!

@johngrady7390 7 лет назад

I have the flashpoint RL 600 and it is even cheaper. It has HSS but you have to use a HSS trigger. I use my PW with the flashpoint trigger mounted on top of it and it works great. I have a comment and question. I have heard that Adorama will replace these flashpoint units during the warranty period but after the warranty is out they are not supported. In other words if you have a problem with them they can't be sent in for repair and parts will not be available for them. Can anyone confirm or repute this? I think I read this on a forum.

@JasonLanierPhotography 7 лет назад

Yes I had the Rovelight as well. The Xplor600 is the replacement for it. I doubt they will service the Rovelight any longer but you'd have to confirm that with Adorama.

@EmadAbbas89 7 лет назад

how xplor is compared to ad600?

@jcvera 7 лет назад

Finally a great review...You're the only one who has answered the question:"HOW CAN I SET MY CAMERA TO SHOOT MORE THAN 1/2000... I just received the FP RL600B thanks to your recommendation from the wedding couple photo shoot at the beach that you did and I just realize that in order to shoot over 1/2000 I should get the Trigger Adapter R2 that will allow me to shoot at 1/8000. Thank you SIr!!!! Keep doing it great!!!

The videographer did an awsome job, well lit, shorter video format, straight to the point,, also i was looking at this flash online prior to seeing this video but now i will buy this flash, (you look slimmer too).....

@mikestanovich1414 5 лет назад

Rapid Box XXL - Bowens - Westcott discontinued the fixed Bowens mount model. They now sell a "switch" model with an interchangeable adapter. Unfortunately, most people report it is crap as the adapter "spins" freely, making it near impossible to mount/remove the box from the flash...

@ww1966 7 лет назад

Q- Is the Rapid Box the 36 or 48?

@scottedwards5191 7 лет назад

Thank you, Jason! As always...

@chriskaraboulis6456 7 лет назад

Do you recommend the Godox AD600 over the Jinbei Hd610 (both TTL). I only ask because you use to shoot with the Jinbei (i think in the U.S. its called Rovelight).

@edmundgil6008 7 лет назад

I'm just an auto-cam, picture taking dad. Info on this one piece of gear, in a short vid, has inspired me to take that next step up. I have already begun researching a direction, and have decided to go with a mirror-less Sony, or comparable. You seem old school. Is this a good path, or should I aim higher to a more expensive DSLR?

@hawg427 7 лет назад

At 3:54 you mention the Old Days. LOL Now what I remember of the Old Days were the Photogenic studio strobes we used in photography school in Daytona Beach. Great strobes but you were limited to 1/60 or 1/125 a sec unless you shot with a leaf shutter. LOL Great video.

@Delphisteve 6 лет назад

the close-up doesn't work...

@wadeHockey 6 лет назад

Jason, a great video. Thank you. So you are saying that the Godox QS699II is the same as EXPLOR 600 HSS? Are there any differences that are known between them and what are they. Also what is difference between xplor 600pro and xplor 600hss. Assume you used that xplor 600hss?

@denniscraig850 7 лет назад

To save even more money for an amatuer photographer, would a Flashpoint R2 with Li-ion (for fast recycle) or with AA batteries, along with a speedflash bracket with Bowen mount, work as well with the softbox? Would the flash power of the speedlight vs. the monolight be the deal breaker?
