Shopper : What is the purpose of the Mono mode? I accidentally pressed that button during a shoot and coun't control my flashes! I would like to know why that feature was added.

When I got home I was able to find out that it had that mode by checking the manual that came with it under trouble shooting. Nevetheless, what purpose does it serve?Brands@ A : It's for some monolights which use "decimal" power levels, as opposed to speedlights which all use fractions.

Excellent, cost effective lighting control

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.

R1 receiver attachment

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.

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

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.

Love my R1 Flashpoint

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

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.

Best 10 bucks I ever spent

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.

I should have brought more

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.

get the R2 system....

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.

Great setup. Medium range

By ADAM S.

First off Love the product. I have shot about 10 weddings now with the units and they work great. If you are looking for only manual flash and the ability to control your flashes output than this is a great setup. I use multiple of these flashpoint flashes to do my room lighting at reception's. I also use the same transmitter to control my streaklight 360's also. The transmitter works flawlessly when using them with my streaklights for portrait work. They also work flawlessly in most receptio...

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.

Remote power control your Flashpoint Zoom Li-on Flash using a Flashpoint Commander Transmitter and Receiver, allowing you to view and change your flash output on-the-fly from 150+ feet away for off camera lighting, as well as trigger the flash remotely and adjust other functions. 16 channels to avoid interfering with other photographers, and 16 groups of control to allow custom multi-unit remote lighting setups. The transmitter now has a 3.5mm sync port direct cable connection to a camera PC socket, enabling triggering without being mounted on the hot shoe.
