Flashpoint R2 Pro 2.4GHz Transmitter for Canon (XPro-C)

It's a lot easier than the other square x2 remote that is just really weird to use. It has numbers instead of words and a toggle dial, I hated it. This is what I'm used to, I've had similar before, not much different, it's really easy to use, you don't need directions, it's all pretty self explanatory. Cheap too, by the way there is a MarkII version for the same price which adds blue tooth, but believe me you're not missing anything really. That's the only difference I could find and some gimmickee stuff but it's basically the same thing.

This thing is lightweight and easy to use. The only downfall is that it doesn't come with any kind of protective case. So when I pack up at the end of the night after shooting a wedding I have to macgyver it up to make sure it doesn't get damaged.

Works like it should. Easy to use and it allows my Godox lights as off camera lighting.

I bought this transmitter to communicate with some new strobes which have internal wireless and didn’t know just how nice these are and easy to use. You can easily turn on/off the modeling lights, or adjust the power of each flash head so quickly and so precisely that it takes guessing out of the equation and saves time. But the time saver is more to keep the vibe going with the Photoshoot than saving time. Too quality for a great price.

Works fine. No functional problems. Just a couple design I wish they would abandon the turn-to-tighten wheel to secure it to the hotshoe in favor of the slide switch, a la Canon. And also the two sliders on the side (power & AF assist) are too easily switched. I typically tape over them while storing the transmitter in my bag to avoid a dead battery when I need it. Minor issues, more of a wish list for the next version. But definitely a step in the right direction from the old trigger...

I have the standard R2, it was always a pain to scroll thru the groups in my studio. The ability to mix up TTL and manual between groups and turn modeling lights on and off from the camera is very cool. The fact that all the groups can be accessed from the front screen is really nice.

So after trying to figure out why I could trigger the flash with the test button, but not for the life of me figure out how to trigger it via shutter when it was attached to my Canon 6D. I wasted about 2 hours until after exhausting all options. I realized, this transmitter says [S] , which I believe is for Sony. I ordered the Canon version. This is so frustrating becauseI have an engagement shoot today, and now I am flash-less. :(What can we do about this?

Great trigger! I use this regularly with my off camera flash. This was my first time experimenting with off camera flash and this transmitter is fairly self explanatory. I highly recommend flashpoint equipment to anyone looking to get in to flash photography
