Round-head flash for Sony
The Flashpoint Zoom Li-on X R2 TTL is an on-camera speedlight built for Sony V1 bodies. Its circular head produces a more natural light spread than standard rectangular units. An integrated 7.2V 2600mAh lithium-ion battery delivers up to 480 full-power shots without external packs. The compact design suits both professionals and enthusiasts.
Replaces rectangular speedlights
This model replaces conventional shoe-mount flashes that throw a harsh rectangular beam. The round head softens shadows and creates smoother catchlights for portraits and events. The jump is worth it when you want even illumination straight from the camera without adding modifiers. It also serves as a wireless commander for the R2 radio system.
Simple shoe-mount setup
The unit slides onto the Sony multi-interface shoe and pairs through the camera TTL menus. Direct group buttons give quick access to R2 channels. Lithium-ion power means fast recycle times and no AA cells to manage. The only common issue is forgetting to charge the internal battery before a long session.

Questions about this item
Does the round head fit standard Bowens-mount modifiers or need an adapter?
The round head accepts magnetic modifiers designed for it; Bowens-mount accessories require a separate adapter ring.
How do I pair the built-in R2 transceiver with an R2 trigger, and what step is often missed?
Set both units to the same channel and group, then press the pairing button on the flash — forgetting to match the group is the common error.
When does the internal 7.2 V 2600 mAh lithium-ion battery need replacement?
After roughly 480 full-power flashes the runtime drops noticeably; the pack is user-replaceable by sliding the battery door open.
