Best flash kit

Great product. Easy to setup and good build.

Great!

Creator friendly

It's a good piece of equipment i'm a little concerned about the front screen and I'm not a real fan of the battery cover door. It comes off fairly easily.  Trying to read. The instructions is a little on the confusing side but once I got onto a YouTube review of step-by-step on how to program it was relatively easy.

A good piece of equipment

Great

Worked perfectly. A very minimal bump and it snapped right off the camera. Too flimsy for wedding work as bumps and dings are just part of the job.

Function perfectly - No very strong

This is a real nice. It fires the strobes consistently without a problem.  The button layout is a nice upgrade.  I accidentally broke my first trigger when my camera fell off of the stand. I loved the trigger so much I replaced it the following day.

R2 pro trigger

An improvement over the previous two models I own. Easier to find and make adjustments to all my strobes.

Great piece

Super functional

This review applies ONLY to the Fujifilm version of this trigger.  My copy of the Flashpoint R2 Pro Mark II trigger was hard to slide on and take off of my Fujifilm cameras (X-T1 and X-T3).  When the trigger was on the camera, the contact points on the trigger did not align with the contact points on the camera hot shoe, so the TTL and high-speed sync functions didn't work.  It could, however, control flash power levels and it could fire the flashes.  I had to return the unit.  The solution (suggested by Shua at Adorama, thanks, Shua!) was to get the Flashpoint R2 Nano for Fujifilm, which works great!

Fujifilm version didn't fit correctly on Fujifilm cameras

Best Trigger

Yes, this trigger will work with an R6 Mark2.   Just make sure you are  not using electronic shutter mode; it will not fire in this mode.  Use electronic 1st curtain or mechanical mode.

Trigger use with R6 Mark 2

Works as it should. A bit of a learning curve.

Good transmitter.

This trigger was great until it fell out of my hand when unpacking from a Pelican case. It tumbled no more than 8 inches to the concrete and the screen was a mass of horizontal lines. It still worked but was unreadable - could not decipher what channel it was on. Very disappointed that it failed to survive such a tiny drop

Great trigger until it had a tiny drop

Excellent trigger which is extremely feature-rich. 
Most triggers lack some piece of functionality, but this one combines everything from backlit buttons, over channel search, to converting a TTL measurement into a manual setting. I believe the only feature it is missing is a "single pin" mode.

This trigger has many buttons which saves one from menu-diving and/or pressing multiple buttons to get to a function/control. It arranges the group buttons near the dial and OK button, which makes it super quick to operate. 

Works very well with Eneloop (or similar) rechargeables as well. 

Highly recommended.

Best ergonomics of all Flashpoint/Godox triggers

I had used it a lot in my workshop for several years, until they came out with the new R2Nano. It was very reliable and easier to use than most triggers I've tried. Very good paired with any of the R2 strobes.

Good Trigger

Perfectly paired to all my flashes and easy to use right out of the box

Extremely satisfied

Works as designed and well; but it broke while walking between spots.  It seems to be a little too heavy and plastic gave way just above the base.  I'd look at either the nano or the smaller model instead

Works but with a flaw

I already had this controller for Pentax. Now, with the Olympus/Panasonic version, I can control my two Flashpoint strobes from both of my cameras. That gives me great flexibility.

Great flexibility from this strobe controller

Product is amazing much better than my old pocket wizards that I loved!!!

WORKS GREAT

Fast Delivery, Great customer service. The product looks amazing!

A must have for all your lighting needs

I am very pleased with this transmitter. I works very well with my Fuji GFX 50S Mark 2 and my flashpoint strobes.

Very nice transmitter.

I purchased this controller with two Zoom Li-Ion X TTL speedlights for use with my Pentax K3. I had no experience with wireless flash and was able to get everything working in minutes. I like this so much I bought another for my Olympus body.

Great wireless flash controller

10/10

I love that each group has its own button. I put all my lights on a different group so that they have individual control and I love that I can get to the settings quick and easy. I would buy this trigger again.

Great Trigger

Works great, but is as weak as rice paper. Don't even come close to bumping this thing while on camera. I've gone through 2 of these because I barely bumped into a door while the camera and transmitter were in my hip, and they just disintegrate.

Breaks SO easily

Love it! Just started plying with off camera flash photography and decided to try this transmitter along with a Flashpoint R2 Zoom Speedlight. Very pleased.

Works perfectly!

Flashpoint trigger

Super easy to set up and sync to my two Flashpoint XPlor 600 Pro lights. I would totally recommend this product.

Awesome! Thanks, Adorama.

Easy to set up and use. It stays connected to all my flashpoint lights during my sessions.
