Is there anybody who uses the Flashpoint Zoom TTL R2 for Canon or Nikon cameras?
How is its recycle time? Does the radio work properly?
Hod does it work? Any experience? I would like to use it for wedding photography.
Thanks for you input!

I have a friend who uses the Lion version. I have the Godox AD360 equiv (Adorama Streaklight 360) and love it. I'm thinking of getting the Xplor/AD600 though.

I like the X1 system

Why do you want it? What is the added benefit?
Compared to the AD360? More power, one unit, modeling light without an additional part, and not having to worry about the external battery pack. But I'm not sold on having a heavy unit on the top of the stand. I'm still liking the light flash.

I have the Calumet Genesis 400 (same thing) and a Neewer equivalent as well. They're really well made flash units, the wireless transmitters work well, and they're quite feature-packed for the size and price. And the external batteries last forever unless you're popping them off at full power every shot. While they won't replace my studio pack/head kit (I need 2400 ws of power when doing large format portraits in the studio), they're perfect for on location.

Do you think the Nikon version will work with Canon as slave or the Canon will work as master and the Nikon version as slave?
Can I mix them up and still maintain radio wireless connection and HSS?
Thanks!
