Best value in remote flash trigger.

Great product.  Allows you to remotely control power output and flash sync.  Big time saver.

Makes life so much easier.

Slave terrific

I don't like complicated things . Simple and easy to use

Works for me

Performed absolutely as advertised.  Intuitive setup, channel and group selection.  Screen (crystal) difficult to read at some angles due to installation, but very serviceable. Could not be priced more competitively, and would recommend to anyone looking for economical control of lighting environment.

Excellent, cost effective lighting control

Attached to flash to communicate with transmitter-used off camera. Handy feature, think of a cheaper pocket wizard system. This is the R1. It's an older model, so only $10. Newer flashes are R2. But, can be used on R2 flash with R1 transmitter. Problems, it's sometimes a tight fit onto flash, so hard to remove. The first one received, the dial stopped in between the numbers. The second, not as bad, but better fit. Adorama did accept an exchange.

R1 receiver attachment

Great Value

I HAVE AD600 AND IT DOES NOT SYNCHRONIZE WITH R2

This product was easy to set up and worked flawlessly.

Wireless transmitter and receiver.

better than the built-in receiver for the rovelights when you want to do hss

Just get it

Range isn't that great so it will misfire from time to time if you are out of range. Also, you guys should make this as a R2 receiver as well, not just for R1. Then this will be a great receiver for most Alien Bees strobes and a few others.

Great receiver for the price but limited to only R1 series.

Excellent

A Must Have...

I love this R1 Flashpoint Commander Transmitter and Receiver. I shoot home interiors for real-estate and this is so nice to change the settings from the camera instead of running back and fourth to change settings on the flash. This unit has nice power and recycles fast and lasts a long time on one charge. I am going to get another one and would recommend this flash to every one including my friends. Very easy to use.

Love my R1 Flashpoint

It does what it's supposed to. It's easy to use, and it's cheap.

Works well

I love everything about my Flashpoint/Godox lighting system EXCEPT the triggering issues I have with the R2 2.4GHz radio system.  

When I'm having issues with the R2 2.4GHz system I switch to this R1 433MHz trigger system and it never fails me.

I use these receivers on the eVOLV 200 and the XPLOR 600 Pro and I know it will fire every time.

Love this set!  So much more reliable than the 2.4GHz system.

It is as described and works great with my Nikon flash. I need to purchase a couple more.

Perfect

Solid system. VERY reliable!!!

For 9.95 you get the perfect tool for triggering an off camera flash with manual settings. Can't say too much because it works as advertised and is very easy to set up. Perfect to the advanced photographer who wants off camera flash capability at a very low cost.

Best 10 bucks I ever spent

Package arrived on time and the unit looks solid.

Good solid flash

The price scared me a little but Flashpoint makes some great products. I tested the set on a simple product shoot and it works great. The range is good and resets itself quickly. I would definitely recommend this product.

I should have brought more

Compact and the Best

Very easy to use and set up. I don't have any concerns with this. Shipping was slower than usual, but that was due to the holiday season pile up.

Strongly recommend

Lost the last transmitter and receiver this one is perfect.

Love it!!

I got 2 of these sets because I needed 2 receivers. I had trouble with them from the beginning. After experimenting I found that the all 4 pieces were either defective or maybe the system just has bugs. After having problems on a job, I gave up on them. By then I had started using the R2 system and it works like a dream. The price on these is great but it's not worth the hassle - for a little more cash there are much better systems.
