Comparing the power and recycle times of Flashpoint flashes

The Flashpoint XPLOR 600, Studio 400, and Zoom R2 TTL speedlight

Nice write up, and something I need to consider doing as well. Question, was there any difference in the size of the reflector between the 600 and the 400?? Also you list TTL on the speed light. Was it actually operating in TTL or on manual?

Yes actually, the studio 400 only has 6" reflector... A little annoying.

Flash was in manual, I was just testing the ttl model, they're also a manual version of the zoom R2, which I own a bunch of as well.

This is a great video comparing the model I have to the new pro model

Not a bad price. If you are looking at output, have you tried getting a meter reading on each at full power? Also, if you are testing the beauty dish, I tested it on a live subject with bd, bd with grid, bd with sock and bd with sock and grid over it. All subtly different. I keep the grid over the sock, but keep A clamps 2/3 of the way around, not on bottom so I can get it lower and still out of the shot. I don't want the grid falling on subject so it looks like sputnik with all the A clamps.
