Flashpoint XPLOR 600 TTL VS. Godox AD600

Guys, question on the operation of the Xplor 600, Prophoto has a hybrid mode so you can establish an exposure in TTL and switch to manual and lock that exposure in… can you do something similar on the 600’s? Or is it a matter of just looking at the settings TTL determines, switching to M and then plugging in those settings?
Thank You

First, there are no setting to look at in TTL, even with the Profoto. The exact flash duration/power is determined by the camera meter just prior to exposure via the pre-flash.

That said, I've found that I can make a TTL exposure using Flash Exposure Lock feature on my Sony A7RII and then make multiple exposures with the locked setting.

Not exactly the same as the Profoto approach but close enough.

I don't have the TTL model, but it doesn't do that. Most TTL implementations just give you FEC and don't tell you the power level.

No TTL lock and no way to see what power was chosen by camera.

Hi,


A few questions..

I have the old version Flashpoint xplor 600 and love it.
I was looking to get a second one but would like opinions if the new "pro version," is worth the cost or should I stay with the earlier version?

Secondly, I noticed the Godox version is somewhat less expensive the comparable, early version of the Xplor 600.

I appreciate the help.

The Flashpoint R2 Pro trigger released in the past year or so can convert TTL level to a manual level...you just have to tell it which flash you're using.
