It was hot and windy out but the RL held its ground! The shadows were not completely eliminated but the Rovelight was awesome.

Good to see - thanks so much for your feedback

what light stands are you guys using with this? i have a 48x36 softbox, when attached to the rl600... its very top heavy.
any good suggestions that wont break the bank? I currently have some impact 8ft air cushioned ones and they arent cutting it.

The stand I used here is the Manfrotto 420B which I purchased years ago, not sure if it is sold currently. It is a boom stand as well and very heavy! I only use it during windy days. My favorite are the cheetahlight stand C10!!

I had the RL no problems other then the annoyance that the remote would go to sleep. I also know they are working on a new control. I like to look at the remote to see what settings I am on. Another issue was the beep audio changes were too low for me. I couldn't hear them. Still great light. I returned it and ordered and Indra500 which is on the way to compared it.

what settings did you have on this? Very nice.

Curious has anyone here tried a Indra500?

My take is reviews are a guide but nothing beats our own tests. I bought the RL and liked it but had some issues with it. I now ordered a Indra500 to try out. Based on my tests I will then decide if the TTL is only an issue for some.

Just got my RL600B! ߘ

And same as you guys, the strobe came in plastic bag, and battery & charger cable came in ziplock bags. Not complaining, test fired looks good.

These 2 pictures show what I hope to be some minor things that i noticed.

You may have to invest in a TX/RX system and use the basic remote to adjust power!! You will get a longer operating range as well!! Yes that audio beep was barely audible on this day really wish it was a tad louder. The wind people talking I had to do an 8 count just to
snap photos in between shots!!

Yep, looks like a Quality Control issue out of China!!

How did you get the A7M2 to do FP sync with the light?

Awe, I knew that question would be asked sooner or later!! With the Odin TX/RX for Sony. With the Odin attached to camera just hit the HSS button and it will allow me to surpass the 160 synch speed!!
Here is a setup with the A6000 which synchs up to 1/4000

Thanks Rob.
I've been waiting impatiently for Phottix to release the VII Odin.
I may have to get the earlier version just so I can take advantage of FP Sync.

I agree Phottix is a little disappointing with their products the new mittros+ has been out of stock since January and they have no idea when it will be in stock again. I am waiting for the verII also especially for the auto focus light on the TX!!
