Maybe the AD 600bm I should get. There is a manual power unit I believe. So it sounds like I adjust that at the head .

Guy,Okay I'm going to sell one AD360 and get a AD360II do I just buy a Canon one and use my trigger and usb
Not sure what you mean here. The 600BM is a manual version. It is still controllable from the X1Ts controller. It will do HSS for Canon, Nikon or Sony. The remote head plugs into the unit in place of the flash tube which then plugs into the remote head. That means a small light weight flash head on the stand with the power pack at the base of the stand for support.Maybe the AD 600bm I should get. There is a manual power unit I believe.

Okay so I can buy a Canon unit use my transmitter as i would never use this on a camera anyway. Its to heavy. Actually I took all my hot shoes off and put just the tripod plate on.Guy,
The AD360II has a built in X system radio. You do not need a USB unit.
The current version firmware support Sony if you are using the AD360 as a slave with a Sony X1Ts or TT685s or V680IIs as a controller.
Waiting for the Sony specific model number will mean that it has a base with a Sony multi-funcion hot foot.
Otherwise they are the same.
Yep. HERE. I used it Friday night. I'll post a picture later today. Will be using it later this morning as well. I think its going to be my default approach.David this unit

So to make it head on stand and pack on floor lets say there is a optional kit
Perfect. They you don't have to worry about which 360II you get. The firmware is the same. Its the base that makes it camera specific. I agree that it will never be on a camera I'm holding.Okay so I can buy a Canon unit use my transmitter as i would never use this on a camera anyway. Its to heavy.

I think for now as I'm so happy with the 360 its the way to go also becuase I get 3 power packs that I can use 1 for the AD360 and the other 2 on my 685s outdoors
I shot this the other day with 2 685's and the transmitter on TTL and i just love having this but adding a TTL 360 would be awesome..
Sam, Thanks for the info - I meant to send this the other day. Reasonable price and I understand you got it quickly but they are now quoting 15-45 days and guaranteed in 60. I am hoping to get one a little sooner somewhere but having no luck. Hoping Adorama will let me know their time frame on Monday. I have the 600 sitting here but it's only a paperweight right now as I have no way to control it.Guy, that got me too the first time I've used.
For channel 1 that would be all dip switches down.
Guy, I have 4 of the V850 speedlites. They accept the XTR-16s receiver. They have the lithium battery so lots of pops, fast recycle and small. I use them a lot for small products and other stuff where lots of light isn't required.Thanks David you confirmed my thinking. I listed one AD360 kit on the buy and sell its like new. Someone should grab it. Nice to have the manual one as well. End of day I will have 2 AD360, one AD 360II, 2 685s all using the same transmitter. Plus I have a lot of combination use.
Maybe I'll get a third 685 for interior travel work. Have three of them in a small travel bag with stands to check on aircraft
That is bacically the same baseline shipping quote on my original order as well. It's matter of who actually has stock to get it shipped out and it seem that he does.Sam, Thanks for the info - I meant to send this the other day.

I decided to stop trying to find one I knew was in stock and ordered one from China last night. It says it has shipped but obviously it could be a long wait.That is bacically the same baseline shipping quote on my original order as well.

That's frustrating Jim.I decided to stop trying to find one I knew was in stock and ordered one from China last night. It says it has shipped but obviously it could be a long wait.

So maybe a bit of patience can pay off at times... http://www.amazon.com/Godox-Wireles...UTF8&qid=1462811151&sr=1-2&keywords=godox+x1sI decided to stop trying to find one I knew was in stock and ordered one from China last night. It says it has shipped but obviously it could be a long wait.
