It's sold, by Adorama, as the Flashpoint Rovelight Monolight 600/B. I have the Bowens mount version. Very satisfied. The only thing I'd like to see improved is a louder recycle beep for outdoors use.

I bought the Flashpoint mount at a special launch price of $330.  I compare it to the Einstein here http://www.imafoto.net/blog/featured-ar … tein-e640/

It is great for on location one-light setups.

Been there a few times. I wish there were a way to adjust the volume, but it's really a nice light.

I did the same but went with the Bowens mount because I knew I'd have a lot more options for accessories available.   Good write up on your blog. Thanks for that.

Though I can easily blast the sun at full power with this..and with a 27 beauty dish

Never had that problem. I use Pocket Wizard Plus IIs with a Nikon SB800 in the hot shoe to trip the camera into AutoFP mode. Connect a Pocket Wizard to the SB800 or the camera's sync port and start shooting. I make sure turn the flash to manual and 1/128 power so it doesn't add to the exposure.

I use the Phottix Odin and never have to turn off the trigger. In most cases after the shoot I forget to turn it off and have to replace the batteries......

Fwiw, there is a firmware update out for both the Nikon and Canon of late.  Nikon had some HHS addressed so maybe Canon too, although the say something about some turn-off issue in their blog.

I just did mine.  My Odin Nikon and no issues other than one receiver had to be hit twice with the update before it registered.

Using the yn-622c as shown here http://flashhavoc.com/flashpoint-roveli … 00-review/ has been very reliable.
