There is coming a TTL version. Nice feature however I stopped using TTL a long time ago because I like manual more.

Second version is the socket of the bulb and the third the power socket. I count when the parts can not be exchanged.

You can only get the new bulb socket now. The new bulb sockets have round holes instead of square ones and the bulbs have extra bits of metal on the leggs.

Just to update: I purchased a 360 kit from Adorama (Flashpoint their brand) it was $200 off. I had an issue with the battery pack after 30 days. They emailed how to return it and sent me a new one no charge, I did have to pay to send it back.
Did a test after charging the Battery 42 Full power pops in a row, two days later 50 Full power pops in a row, so all is good! :D

Good to hear! - but concerned that you were asked to pay return shipping. Can you please email me with your order number? Helen@adorama.com (external link)

I can easily get 50 (or 60) full power pops in a row with my original Godox branded battery purchased in early July. My problem is that I can only get about 230 to 240 full power pops after a full charge before the battery is fully depleted. This is done 50 pops at a time with at least 10 minutes rest between each set. The real issue I have is that after about 200 shots I am still showing 2 to 3 leds lit. This would lead one to believe that the battery is going to provide near 400 pops as promised by the manufacturer. In my case my unit goes from 2 led's to completely dead in another 30 to 40 pops beyond 200. I've repeated this behavior twice. I have a new battery coming in from Edward at Cheetahstand tomorrow. I'll test it the same way to see if there is a difference. I'm hoping the led charge indicator works better with the Cheetah battery and that I get over 300 pops on a full charge. Based on the non linear way voltage drops in a Lithium cell I'm not sure how much advance warning I'll get even with a perfect battery pack. Lithium cells tend to kind of work right up to the point they can't and then fail like a light switch has been flipped off. Keeping my fingers crossed at this point.

Curious, where do you buy replacement batteries for the godox 360? It seems like you can only buy the battery + pack for $120 instead of buying the replacement battery.

Everytime I'm ready to order Cheetahstand is sold out! Are all of these lights interchangeable between brands? For example, will the spare battery bought with godox name work on the cheetah light 360?

They are all made by Godox so all the parts will interchange with no problems.

I have the same symptoms and issues, but only get about 170 pops. I have to send it back to Eachshot.com at my expense. I was being penny-wise and pound foolish buying from them instead of Cheetahstand.
