I was really a fan of flashpoint gear, until my R2 remote stopped working in the middle of a shoot and I took on this ridiculous and risky process to update the firmware in the hope it would address the problem. The remote still doesn't work. But, that is not all. The Zoom meeting client stopped working on the laptop I had used. Tried everything. Nothing worked until I uninstalled the firmware installer. Zoom now works fine. Can't say the same for the trigger. Oh and I have not had any luck getting through to the listed Adorama support number.
Can I use the godox firmware to update some of my flashes? It looks like flashpoint stopped providing updates for some flashes (last update 2018) where as godox for the same models continues to update (latest was 2023).
I recently started using a Canon R5, along with a Flashpoint XPLOR 400 Pro & R2 Pro MarkII. . I've updated ALL the firmware in every device in the chain, but for some reason, I still keep getting misfires every 2nd or 4th shot (or not flash at all). . I've also scanned for the best frequencies on the trigger, switched to also using the "ID", use Mechanical Shutter (below the Sync Speed), and I stick to "One Shot" Focus mode & single point focus. . Once I turn the audible beep on, for the XPLOR 400, I can hear the trigger and light communicating but no flash (full battery). Any suggestions?🤔
You are not alone... I shoot Nikon and the D850, D610 and D7100 all have the same random misfires. Hitting the test button appears to "Wake up" the connection. Glad I only bought a small kit (2 flashes and a trigger) for the TTL. I'll stick with my Einstein's for serious work.
Same thing!! I kept thinking it was my Canon 6Dmk2, then I got the R6 - same thing. It's the Flashpoint trigger! Then I tried to update the trigger according to the website - now I have a handy door-stop instead. Trying to contact Adorama for a replacement. WHO makes this firmware?? DOS prompt updates? Windows 10 boot sequence?? SERIOUSLY? Welcome back to 2002.
Thank you for trying but this is not working for me... I have tried it with two Windows 10 pc and nothing. Left 2 E mails and no response from you. This process is insane!
OMG, this is crazy. A 13 minute video just to learn the ultra complicated update procedure? The Windows 10 hoops are ridiculous. Please work on a better way.
This is way too complicated . My files for windows eleven look nothing like these . Flashpoint or Godox remotes are terrible, unreliable and not user friendly at all. Save yourself a headache and don't use Godox/Fashpoint.
Wait.....wait....ALL "THIS" for a Firmware update???????????????????????????????????????? 🤯🤯🤯🤯
If you slowdown the playback speed, this makes a lot more sense.
I can't tell if I even need a firmware update let alone embark upon this complex process, just to find out that it was unnecessary.

Holy fuck guys could yinz maybe add in a few more steps for updating firmware? I don't think 100 is enough.
Damn, really liked this product until it was time to update...
This definitely clarified some steps
That Godox has literally awful devs? Yeah, true story.

Same deal with my Canon R
Me 2 with my R6 . I shoot a wedding and it happened with my camera.
Imagine having to do this process 10 times ..
. Not a happy camper!
Try to do it my radio now does not turn on. help I don't know what to do
I need an update for my V350 so that it'll work with the Nikon Z6 II. When will it be available?
How about a "checklist" we can print out.....your voice over could be an air traffic controller....say it slow or say it twice 😂😂😂
This is unacceptably complicated. Ridiculous.
Anything for apple?

nothing for mac?
Ugh. A great reason never to buy Flashpoint equipment ever again.
Literally the worst process ever! On second thought, I'll just not bother updating any flashpoint product. 🤣🤣
Like I hate you now flashpoint I really do
It was all good until F7, then nothing happened. Anyone get this step?

I think I got lost... somewhere.
Don’t like the way y to his AI Instructs
