Portable 600 Ws Monolight
The Flashpoint XPLOR600 is a battery-powered 600 Ws monolight designed for location photographers who need studio output without mains power. It ships with the R2 Mark II 2.4 GHz radio remote for Sony ETTL wireless control. The integrated 11.1 V 8700 mAh lithium-ion cell delivers over 450 full-power flashes per charge. High-speed sync and stroboscopic modes extend creative flexibility on site.
Compatibility Check
Verify that your Sony camera supports ETTL wireless triggering with the supplied R2 remote before ordering. Ensure you have a spare 11.1 V lithium-ion pack if a full day of shooting may exceed 450 full-power bursts. Confirm the monolight's Bowens-type modifier mount matches your existing softboxes or beauty dishes. Firmware updates require a USB connection to a computer.
Build & Daily Use
The all-metal chassis houses a fan-cooled flash tube and a rear LCD panel with 11 menu options for power, modelling LED and sync settings. A built-in Bowens mount accepts standard modifiers directly, while the removable battery slides out for quick swaps between shoots. The R2 remote clips onto the camera hot shoe and offers dedicated custom-function buttons for multi-flash groups. Carry handles and a padded case simplify transport to outdoor locations.
