have you, or anyone, done any color balance testing between the 360 and 600?,

I haven't , I suck at colors
I use the colorchecker and use a custom white balance on each location or setup.

I should own stock in Cheetahlights!! All this fits comfortably in a Lower x300 with the exception of the 600 which has it's own case...

- Speed Ring Insert for Qbox -Q16/Q24/Q30 - Bowen
- 2 to 1 Cable for Cheetah L4500 Battery
- Power cable for Canon flash

Wow, I am totally broke now...

I had to smile when Edward mixed up Labor Day and Memorial Day in the mailing about the sale at CheetahStand.

With the imminent arrival of the CellsII and CL360P, debating whether to add some YN622Cs, or not.
I do have a couple of CyberSyncs, one xmtr and several recvrs.
And I do have Phottix Odins, one xmtr and several rcvrs.
As I have several 580EXII speedlights, would be kinda nice to use TTL fill with the CL360P.
I will definitely test if I can use the Odins and CellsII.

Thoughts?

Check the link in this post, it gives plenty of options and I believe talks about the Odin.

Thanks for this!
I actually did search and read this thread extensivley.
However, every link except the one you posted gave the 404 error.
This is good information!

To use the CL360P with the Cheetah QBox24 Professional-H kit, do I require the Cheetah Speed Pro Bracket MKII ?
I did purchase the Speed Ring Insert for Qbox -Q16/Q24/Q30 - Bowen mount.
Yes, I have watched the videos, still somewhat confused if it is required, as the smaller bracket that comes with the Qbox 24 Pro kit is said to be used with speedlights, no mention of the CL360P.

The Cheetah Speed Pro Bracket MKII does look like a useful accessory for when I am able to purchase bigger Octas, etc., in the future.

I should have called Edward...

I would get the Pro S bracket for the QB24
The TXP attaches to your camera strap if not in your hotshoe, makes not difference on the which bracket you use.

Thanks, I guess I will, I need the bulb protector also, as I guess the 360 combo doesn't include it?
Getting a bit expensive now for a proper start.

So, are there 3 different transmitters?
I bought the 360 combo kit, it has the CL-Tx and the CL-Rx - 16 Channel Wireless Remote Control Set: Transmitter and Receiver Set.
I also bought the Cells II transmitter, as I wanted this capability for my 5DMkII.

Now I see a CL-TXP - Cheetah Light Transmitter Professional.
Is this different than the combo kit CL-TX transmitter?
Looking at the photos, I would say not really?
Other than the addition of a sync cable, which I have plenty.
The CL-TXP looks like it could be an older model?
The sync connector appears to be in a different, higher location?

Confusing...

New design, Much the same but designed for photographers who use a TTL flash on camera and incorporate the Cheetahlight system off camera to control power settings. Think wedding photographers who have a dedicated flash on camera and lights setup on stands at a receptions hall.....


Happy Shooting:lol:

This combination with the Sony would not work. I tried with an CellsIIc and the Odin system, I could get the system to fire the first time but that was it.
It may work with one of the branded systems.
