GODOX AD600 Witstro

I was thinking the same thing about the modeling light. I currently have a rovelight with a 7 watt led modeling. If its in a double baffled softbox, the modeling light is so dim its barely usable. Was hoping the AD600 with its 10 watts would be somewhat acceptable for studio work because I will use my lights for about 30% studio and 70% location.

It may be best to get the following:
Newly anounced - GODOX GT600IIM (for studio key)
GODOX AD600B TTL for location / studio fill

The GODOX GT600IIM specs appear to be the godox competition to the Buff Einstein except the Einstein has the Godox beat with the 250 watt modeling compared to the 150 watts for the Godox.

The R2 and X1 are the same except for the name.

Can someone answer a question for me. I recently purchased a Godox 685 Speedlight with the built in receiver that can be triggered by the X1 remote. I plan on purchasing the Xplor 600 strobe with the R2 transmitter. Isn't the R2 transmitter just a renamed X1 trigger? Can I assume that the R2 trigger with work with my 685 speedlight and I don't need to buy the Godox X1 version instead. I want to get the Xplor 600 light since it comes from Adorama with the case and reflector but I want the R2 trigger to be able to work with my existing 685 speed light. Thought people on this board might have some insight on this.

The X1 and R2 are fully compatible with each other because they are the same and only the shape/number of the letters/digits on the outside of the trigger differs.

Thanks. I thought that was the case but wanted to make sure I didn't need to return my speed light and get the Flashpoint version of that speed light instead.

Thanks again. Really looking forward to this light.

Although I cannot see a difference between my X1 and R1, the R1 locks securely into my camera's hotshoe. Whereas, the X1 just pretends to be locked in place...

The original X1 had this issue, but the ones currently being delivered by Cheetah and Adorama work just fine.

The R1 and R2 are definitely different, although I suspect he meant "R2".

If you have good ambient light it would be fine. It all comes down to modeling light. Even at 100% brightness a 10w LED just don't cut it.

Thanks for the info. On my studio strobe I had 75w modeling lamp and switched them for 150w soon after buying the kit.
I also guess we can do nothing on the AD600 to get more powered modeling light ? Disconnecting original leds and connecting new ones ? Dunno ...
I really like modeling light to not only see shadows, but specs and where does the ligh reflect on the subject (specular).

not with the flash tube blocking half the output

Hey cc1995, I'm in a similar situation. I have pre-ordered the Flashpoint R2 Li-On speedlites but so impatient so I was wondering if the same light by Godox that exists right now would work fine with the R2 and so far everyone has told me yes it will work. I love the idea of a speedlite using a Lithium Ion battery and lasting a long time as well as being able to control it wirelessly with the same transmitter that is controlling my xplor strobes.

If you ever get the speedlite I'd love to know if it indeed does work fine. =)

It seems that it is still not known that Godox is the maker of all rebranded Godox equipment. Godox does not allow any changes to the equipment other than made by Godox. The only difference between Godox stuff is the name/number (rebranding) silkscreened on the products by Godox.

There is a trigger with an extra trigger port and clip that was only available at certain seller(s).

Does anyone have a close up pic of the strobe + reflector. Deciding weather its worth getting the reflector or not - apparently its has a better umbrella mount compared to generic bowen reflectors?

It doesn't use the same wimpy umbrella mount that Bowens uses. The umbrella shaft goes through a slot in the yoke.

In this pic below the display screen, with the lock knob. Flashpoint model shown.

How does it come that your link is redirected through "ak1.abmr.net" or is this default on POTN?

The link: http://ak1.abmr.net …DE9&D=adorama.c​om&01AD=1&

Now I have seen the picture I doubt you can fit an umbrella when using that reflector.

I've mounted Large PLMs on the remote head without a problem.
Just as strong as most monolight umbrella mounts.
