i should look into the updates. i found all sorts of weird issues with the flashpoint stuff.

for example, the r2 pro mark ii, cant fire my xplor600 on channels D and E, but it works on A, B, and C.
the r2 pro mark ii also doesn't fire in HSS correctly. If I shoot over 1/250 the flash output gets incredibly dim and i have to crank up to 1:1. Put the Mark 1 back on and i can shoot at 1/8000sec all day long at very low power levels.

That is odd. After reading your post I just checked my FP R2 Mark II and it fires on all groups, A thru E with both my AD600Pro and AD200. However, I can't seem to get TTL mode on group D or E on the R2 Mk II, just Manual or Off. I am not sure if this developed after the firmware update but I have notified Adorama tech.

Have you tried to cycle through the groups on your AD600? The communication between the transmitter and strobe sometimes needs to be cycled through the groups on the strobe and then the R2 MkII in order to sync up with the settings.

Update: Nikon CLS only supports TTL on groups A,B and C, that’s why D and E only show Manual or Off.

I wonder Braineack if you were trying to use TTL on D or E? You should be able to select Manual mode and have your strobe fire at that setting.

No, manual power. My other strobes/flashes work on those channels, just not the Xplor600 -- It's not the TTL unit.
