![]() The umbrella is not always used, but sometimes handy. It is rare that I need a secondary, but a keep a light stand with a second 360 and umbrella. I use the Flashpoint R2Pro to adjust the output level and to control any secondary flashes in use. For window pulls, I rotate the head and point at the windows, or sometimes bounce. I point straight to the ceiling to eliminate fan/fixture shadows, and the 360 is powerful enough to pull this off. My standard set up is to mount the 360 on a straight bracket under the D750 so that it is off to the side of the camera. I wound up using the Flashpoint 360 (Godox AD360II-N WITSTRO ) and am very pleased. Like you, I found that I needed more light. I also use a D750, and initially used the Zoom Li-on flashes. I'm not totally convinced or understand how they can get a true 360 WS out of these little flash units, unless they have some very efficient reflector that enhances the output. If I didn't have my Quantum flash units, I'd truly look at the Flash point 360 with their power packs and order a couple of extra batteries. but the best part, is that they can be powered buy the GODOX power packs. they are a true 150 WS flash and work great with umbrellas, and small soft boxes. you can now find them on e-bay from $100-$300 in good working order. #Flash point 360 creative collection pro#But, they were pro quality, and built very strong (unlike the Flash point which feels a bit flimsy. these were excellent strobes, but expensive and a bit heavy. Now that my Nikon flash units are starting to fail, I started using my older Quantum Q-Flash units.īecause I was a commercial photographer, and didn't want to carry power packs and flash heads out of the studio, I bought 6 Quantum T-2 Q-Flash units for small location jobs. #Flash point 360 creative collection manual#the Fuji is a great camera system, but their flash system is the worst! so, i used my Nikon SB-900 (which is powerful, but known to over heat) and two SB-800 flash units in manual mode and fired them by pocket wizards (which are quite overpriced, but work well). But, these units are a bit bulky so only use them on stands as the weight could damage your hot shoe. it recycles very fast with the power packs. The Flash point 360 is on sale with the power pack (made by GODOX) and is a great deal from Adorama. ![]()
