Makes the XPLOR even more!
Included with this item is a zippered soft case and shoulder strap that provides secure housing for the monolight body specifically for extension head implementation.

To make it even more practical, there is a window for constant monitoring of the XPLOR LCD display panel with access to the control buttons.
Bowens style mount
The lightweight remote head is then acting as an extension cord between the strobe and remote flash tube, easily enabling remote, difficult to place precise lighting. You don't give up the convenience of an umbrella holder, a free moving 180 degree tilt lock, and all popular Bowens style mount light modifiers that fit directly on the monolight extension heads.

This work great and are very sturdy/well built — I use these when I need my lights to be high on stands or easily moved around on location.

This was a real game-changer, totally eliminates the top heavyweight on my lightstand.

If you’re concerned about the weight of the xplor 600 and it potentially tipping on a stand, then this is your fix! Works perfectly! It also comes with a bag for the xplor which makes it perfect for an assistant to strap on their shoulder as well as a weight to stabilize your light stand!

The extension head for the xplor helps to keep your center of balance low to the ground, and easier to maneuver, with less chance of a stand tipping over and ruining my Xplor 600. I have purchased 2 of these units, one for each of my Xplor’s. They easily fit into the carry case that comes with the xplor’s. They are a solid build, mostly of a very rigid plastic, with metal inserts. I feel like these will last a lifetime.

This is a great addition to you explore 600. If you are planning to use them on a boom arm. The main body for the monolight makes a great counter weight when installed on the opposite side of the boom arm. If you are using an assistant, they will love that most of the weight is over their shoulder instead of having to lift the entire weight of the mono light and softbox above there head.

I purchased the Flashpoint 600 Strobe to replace my speed lights. The 600 is a fantastic Strobe. Great battery life and NO misfires. The only problem with the 600 (and it really not a problem per se) is that it is a little heavy to place on my Kupo stand safely. Well, I found the Flashpoint portable extension head. This is a fantastic find. The extension is very light. As far as I can tell, there is no fall off in the power from the tube. It can be hand held for even more creativity. I have attached to a westcott softbox. I recommend this product.

Have had this about 5 months or so now...have had absolutely NO issues with it. SO much rage of mind when using it outside, especially on hard surfaces. If this falls, has softbox to brace from it in hitting ground, whereas with AD600 only...it had fallen and my heart immediately sunk...think it was cracked into a thousand unrepairable pieces...but it was durable and did not at all, but got this head extension to help prevent damage in future. Balance of AD600 now serves, with carrying shoulder bag, as an additional "sandbag" to add more stability to bottom of light stand. Only downside is when moving light, you need 2 hands to lift the base unit at the bottom and the stand as well. No regrets at all!!

Love the fact that I can use the extension head to lighten the weight on the lightstand/tripod. It's been great, especially when pairing with one of my bigger modifiers that I take on the go - the Westcott Rapid Octa XL. I got a second 1200W extension to add more power to the system. Can't wait to use it. Although I'm not entirely in love with the Flashpoint system, for a poor man's Profoto light system, it's done pretty well. Will also test out the competitive product to see how well it works.
