Unpack and Set-Up of Flashpoint XPlor 600 Pro TTL, Glow 28" Modifier and C-Stand

I recently purchased a second Flashpoint XPlor 600 Pro TTL light. This was a holiday kit that included a c-stand and 28" modifier. In this video I unbox the items, set up each piece and highlight any tips along the way. I then sync the my two light system with the transmitter and Canon 5D Mark IV. I love how easy this system is to unpack and go. The light power and price point makes for a great investment in my business. Let me know if you have any questions.

Nice review and very helpful

[@NicoleBedardPhotography]

Happy to help. Thank you!

[@joseph1172]

The quick release softboxes are much easier. Those are too much time setting up. You'll love them...

[@DemetriusPayton]

Absolutely helpful...thank you so much!

I'm so glad you found it helpful!

Hey Nicole! Congrats on the new gear! Couple of questions: first, does the rectangular mount that you replaced come as a standard part of the modifier? I'm assuming that it would fit a Flashpoint AD 200 Pro (hopefully). Second, do you leave the connector ring permanently on the modifier and transport it collapsed in a bag? If yes, I am definitely interested in this modifier! Does the mount ring on this modifier work similar to your larger modifier? Finally, you show full power on your trigger at "0.0." I also use a Flashpoint trigger, but mine shows the traditional fractional stops of light (1/256 etc). Is there a way to toggle to decimal numeric that I'm missing? Sorry, I know it's a lot of questions. As always, thanks so much for your terrific content and for sharing your expertise! You've helped me become a better photographer.

Hi Ira, Thanks for watching the video and asking your questions. 1) Yes, the rectangular mount come as a standard part of the modifier. You can use the smaller flashpoint lights. 2) Yes, once the connector ring is on I leave it on and transport it collapsed in the bag. Once everything is set up you don't have to rebuild again. 3) Let me look into the factional stop question a little more. I know that if the light was set in M mode there were fractional options. I'll get back to you on that one. Thanks!

TTL mode is where you'll find "0.0".
0.0 is not an indicator of flash power per se- rather, 0.0 tells you that no flash compensation is being applied. In TTL mode, 0.0 can literally be any flash power level that the camera deems "correct" for that scene, at that moment. When 2 strobes are present, in TTL mode and both set to 0.0, the 2 strobes *should* fire at the same power. Now, if you keep your key light at 0.0 but set your fill to -2.5, the key fires at *some* power (x), the fill will now fire at a lower power (x - 2.5 stops).
Flash power for an individual light is always expressed as a fraction, from full power (1/1) descending to 1/32 and way down to 1/128 or 1/256 in some cases.
