XPLOR 300 Pro TTL R2 Battery Monolight Bundle - Compact 300WS Power

Our review of the XPLOR 300 Pro TTL R2 finds a compact, battery-powered monolight aimed at photographers who need studio-grade flash on location. The bottom line: this unit blends a true 300WS output with a fast 0.01 - 1.5 second recycle window and integrated R2 2.4GHz radio, making it a strong choice for event, portrait, and run-and-gun commercial shooters who value consistent power and TTL convenience. The included direct mount EZ Lock softbox and light stand make it ready to work out of the case.

Key Features

• 300WS Output: Delivers substantial light for small groups and controlled studio-style portraits without bulky mains equipment.
• Fast Recycle Time: 0.01 - 1.5 second recycle gives reliable shot-to-shot readiness when capturing sequences or working with assistants.
• R2 2.4GHz Radio: Built-in Flashpoint R2 wireless triggering provides dependable remote control and sync with compatible receivers.
• TTL, Manual and MultiStrobe: Offers automatic TTL convenience plus full manual power control and multi-flash modes for creative effects.
• 2600mAh Lithium-Ion Battery: Rechargeable pack provides portability for location work and eliminates dependence on AC power.
• Bi-Color LED Modeling: Intense guided modeling light lets users preview color and shadow behavior before firing the flash.

Who It's For

The XPLOR 300 Pro suits portrait, wedding and location photographers who need a balance of power and portability. Its 300WS output and quick recycle time make it useful for small groups, event highlights, and handheld modifier work where consistent flash performance matters. The inclusion of TTL and the R2 radio also speeds workflow for hybrid shooters who switch between manual and TTL.

Photographers who need extremely high output for large groups, or who require continuous mains-powered operation for extended studio sessions, should consider larger monolights. This unit is not a replacement for 600WS-plus studio packs when maximum output is the primary requirement.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Compact 300WS design gives a strong power-to-size ratio for location work.
• Very fast 0.01 - 1.5 second recycle time keeps shooting fluid during bursts.
• Integrated R2 2.4GHz radio and TTL make remote triggering and exposure quick and reliable.
• Rechargeable 2600mAh battery and bi-color LED modeling improve portability and setup accuracy.

Cons

• While powerful for its size, the 300WS limit may be insufficient for very large groups or heavy light loss through large modifiers.
