Now, R2 Canon photographers can enjoy unparalleled flexibility and control over multiflash strobist setups, right from their DSLR. The Flashpoint R2 Pro C wireless flash trigger is the ultimate dedicated light master for The R2 Family of Flash - The absolute command center for Canon EOS cameras to control all Flashpoint R2 wireless system devices. These triggers don’t have all the features of Pocket Wizards, but they’re under $, seem reliable, and are useful for basic off-camera wireless radio control of one or more compatible flashes, even without line of sight. (I’d be happy to be corrected on this point.)įinding decent, inexpensive radio triggers for the multi-interface shoe was difficult for a long time. The set can be used as a wireless trigger, but it appears you need a cable with micro-USB connectors on both ends, which is not supplied. The instructions are pretty basic but adequate. I don’t know if they pair with Godox-brand units. The transmitter will pair with Adorama’s private label radio-enabled flash devices built by Godox, including both speedlights and studio lights. They can be switched to use any one of 9 channels, and they can handle three flash groups, each with its own power output setting. The TTL feature works well in A and S modes, and the flash “zoomed” in response to my changing the focal length on a 24-70mm zoom. l for long shooting sessions.Īnd they work! I tried triggering a Sony HVL-F43M flash from about 70 feet/20 meters away, with no line of sight, and the flash fired perfectly. They take two AA batteries, so they should hold up wel. The units are smaller than a pack of playing cards, and they seem far more robust than the inexpensive manual Yuonguo radio triggers I used for my Canon DSLR. Now the receiver is FINALLY available (9/20/17). I wholeheartedly recommend the R2 system! View full ReviewĪdorama has been offering its TTL-capable FlashPoint R2 transmitter/receiver set for Sony cameras with a multi-interface shoe at least since the beginning of 2017, but only the transmitter was available with a multi-interface shoe. I did eventually get the R2 Pro trigger because of the easier menu system (also well-recommended). But, for a fraction of the price of other products, I don't think this is a big deal. Also, the hotshoe locking wheel is sometimes stubborn. Once you learn how to do things, however, this is not a big problem. At a recent outing of my camera club, we had a lighting setup that included Flashpoint, Canon and Nikon lights all being triggered by one R2 trigger.ĭownsides? The cumbersome menu system with the thumbwheel has less than obvious function labels. What is also nice is the ability to add any other R2 receivers t. I am presently using with a 5Div and two Canon Speedlights but the beauty of this product is that I can place any brand device with a Canon compatible hotshoe on it and it just works. Works well on my Canon DSLR and can do HSS (which I could not do with another company's trigger / receiver set) at a cost much less than the Canon OEM products. A reasonably priced device that works well.
