found this on youtube: looks like this photographer is using the bleeding edge of all that is current: sigma 50 art, yn 622 triggers, smdv 70 diffuser, cheetah 600, and a sony a7 + adapter for canon ef mount.


Alexander H is a Jinbei user not godox / cl-600.

Scott. ive flicked through this and haven't found the answer (may well have missed it) but the latest model of this, would the head fit inside an Westcott Apollo soft box or is it too big?

The problem is being able to tilt the soft box.
There are some options;
A) Buff mini-boom
B) Grip arm

B offers some interesting options because it makes the light and modifier a boomed light.

I'd normally use a boom stand anyway so that should still be ok I think.

Just reading through this again, I can't get cheetahstand stuff being in the uk (or at least not straight via the site), I can get godox shipped From HK to the uk though via eBay. The one I was getting was the Godox RS-600p with the XEnergizer pack - am I to take it a newer one is due? If so I'll hang on.

The Lencarta Safari2 (1st to market) is available without having to jump through hoops and has a 3 year warranty.

The interesting thing is when you stand far enough back and hear all of these 'brands' making claims that they have customised units made and that theirs is superior to the 'similar' looking units from other brands. :oops:

May not have to jump through hoops but they have put a fairly steep markup on it. £700 for their equivalent of the CL-600... Understand you are getting a warranty etc but when you can get the godox version for £380 including taxes and DHL delivery, seems a bit steep.
