That's going to cost yea Ralph, you can take my one on one workshop. LOL There is one in the video.

She did a lot of squinting the sun was straight in her face on the gas station shots.

That gives me an excuse to watch it a few more time:)

Are you asking about the 360's or the cl-600?

I bought them at a camera store close out and I think they were just surround sound speaker stands with a 5/8 pole. They do adjust in height and makes good background lighting stands as well.

Scott, if you're my age, the second one would be titled, old bird about to devour young bird.

Or T-Bird about to get a T-bit.

Take your pick, both are lame. :-)

Hi.

Anybody had any trouble with their RS600P (or rebranded units)?
I received a Godox RS600P on Monday and it worked fine for 2 days. Only used it to take some testshots, maybe 100 shots all together. Today it gives me 1-4 blinks before it gives me an E1 error code indicating trouble with the recycling system. I have tried to power off and on, detached and installed battery, recharging and more with no effect.

Anybody knows if this is a known problem with these units, bad caps or something? They are fairly new, but aren't they are mostly the same as ES600P? Have there been known recycling problems with those?

It's a long ride from Norway back to China:-(...

Regards

Tor Martin

I've only had the E1 happen twice and all I did was turn it off and wait 10 Sec and turn it back on. Only 4 people have the cheetahstand Ver1 units and Ver2 is being made now with new improvements. Edward has been working with Godox to make sure the new version is more superior then one you currently own.

These small changes might not mean much to some people, but if it wasn't for Edward at Cheetahstand and our feedback nothing would get changed.

Not to get into age, but I watched the landing on the moon in my living room when I was a youngster and the shooting of JFK on a B/W TV. I also remember when Gilligan's Island and Beverly Hillbillies went from B/W to Color.

I have the cheetah branded 600 and have no problems with the unit. I know this isn't much help to you..


Happy Shooting:lol:

Robsphoto and Scott, thank you for your answers:-).

I think Godox today is the coolest light manufacturer out there at the moment with their lithium ion powered speedlights, barebulb flashes and now this light. I also have an AD-360 on order:-). I really appriciate the feedback you guys provide and work Edward do with Godox to improve their products! It also helps Godox upgrade products under their own brand and that benefits us who live in a part of the world that, at the moment, can't order from Cheetahstand. Thank you!

It might be to soon to tell, but seems like my problems are not a common failure. I was afraid it was a weakness with the system.

I have been in contact with the customer service of the vendor where I bought the light. They tell me to drain the battery completely and try again before we proceed with any warranty issue. I will try that, but it is not an easy task when the battery is good for over 400 flashes and the unit gets into error every few flashes:-(. But it seems like the flash is working better on full power. I might sometime actually get 20-30 flashes on full power before I get the E1 message, but then I have to restart the unit multiple times before I get any new flashes. On lower power setting I get a maximum of 3 flashes before error. I don't know if this has anything to do the with voltage control.

Anyway, thank you. Hopefully this will be solved under warranty if draining the battery doesn't help.

Regards

Tor Martin

If you want to drain the battery you get a regular house hold light and tape the plug or add some wire on to the terminals of the battery and let the light bulb drain it down.
