Perhaps all the Paul C Buff fanboys here would be interested in hearing that you consider the Flashpoint 600 a "substantial upgrade" from your previously owned Paul C Buff monolights. The only thing preventing me from purchasing the Flashpoint 600 instead of the Honey Badger monolight was the cost of the Flashpoint 600 pro which has a 38W LED modeling light rather than the non pro model which has an inadequate 10W LED modeling light. I don't need TTL, HSS nor battery operation so the $250 Honey Badger (I got it on sale) with its 60W LED modeling light was the way to go rather than spending $900 on the Flashpoint 600 pro.

The Aurora police have shown very little concern about this. When the car was recovered it had property in it that was evidence of at least 2 other auto thefts and other crimes. A handicap placard, 2 garage door openers, an owner's manual for another vehicle receipts for Sam's club, clothes and a bunch of other stuff. I asked detectives about collecting the stuff before I took the car and they told me I could bring it by the station if I wanted to, but they were not going to go to the impound lot and get it.

Damage to the car included the front end and left side that left it undriveable and is estimated at 13,000.

I was just notified last night that they had recovered a firearm that I had inadvertently left in the vehicle. This notification came via my son who had gone to the station to get a copy of the police report because the police department had not sent one to my insurance yet. The gun was recovered a week ago and I had not been notified.

The gun was in the hands of a felon that was out on bond for 4 separate pending felonies, but he denies the theft and claims he found it and another that was in his possession is a storage shed. My son thinks he is already out on bond again.

Enthusiasm on the part of the police has been minimal at best.

While visiting my son and his family in Aurora, Co. over Thanksgiving my vehicle was stolen along with all my Paul Buff lights. Thankfully I had taken the cameras in the house. I have replaced the lights with FlashPoint 600's from Adorama.

These were more expensive, but they are a substantial upgrade. I can control all three lights individually with the transmitter on the hot shoe, 2 of them are TTL, and all have High Speed Sync and second curtain flash. They each have their own battery pack, so no more portable battery packs and extension cords.
