Nope, but looks great actually.

$550 vs what it costs to get an XPLOR or other similar strobe is the real question.

Very best,

Hope it all goes to plan. I like my Jinbei HD610 but I hope the Rovelight Instructions are better! In case they are not, see:

https://www.youtube.co​m/watch?v=7xHKkdwP3bE (external link)

and maybe;

https://www.youtube.co​m/watch?v=EpioNCJTu9E (external link)

.. generally, hit the Group A, B or C button to initiate inputting an instruction. It's good to hit 'OK' after instruction sending - though you can rely on a brief time-out. HTH

So far, I like it a lot. The modelling light is bright enough to be useful. The tube cover/protector helps with day to day handling. The 611c trigger might be the weakest feature but in fact it has always got the job done. I use it alongside 580ExIIs (2) with receivers - fine so far.

(Off grid now for a few days . . )

Oh boy!!! I love this thing!!! It works great with my 5D Mark IV straight out of the box. No firmsware upgrade needed.

There is a video out there were the guy said that he needed to do a firmware update to make it work with the 5D IV.

Looks like the new ones that are shipping right now already come with the new firmware.

I'm in love ... so glad I didn't get the XPLORE 600!!

Price isn't going up, sale price is over, and price is back to list. There are always sales though, just have to wait for the next.
