Questions & Answers

LUCIE R : My transmitter indicator lamp and receiving indicator lamp does not light up. I placed batteries in the receiver. Does the transmitter come with a battery or do I need to take it apart and place the battery?DOUG H : Both devices have AAA batteries that must be replaced regularly for optimum speed, range and reliability.KRIS B : The transmitter uses a large button battery, but the unit should have arrived with one already installed. The transmitter should only light briefly when you push the test fire button, or when it is triggered by your camera shutter. Because of this brief time that the unit is actually using battery power, the battery should last for hundreds if not thousands of flashes.JOHN B : Hi Lucy R, The transmitter has a small 3.5 volt batter inside it. I had to remove the quality control sticker to get the cross-head screw that allows you to open the transmitter and replace the battery. It's pretty easy. I'm sure doing so will void your warranty - so take note!! Hope that helps, JP Bond
Lisa M : Can you use this product to use monolights and speedlights together - so they fire simultaneously? LisaJUN C : You can use that item on moonlight only. If you add speed light, it should be in slave mode or add another trigger to Fire simultanaeouly. Or you can wire the moonlight and remote the speedlight using separate trigger, like yongnuo and the like. I tried the first option. It works.MICHAEL G : Hi Lisa, Mine came with connectivity for my monolight, White Lightning, but no hot shoe. I'm sure you could find a compatible slave for your speedlights to sync with the monolight. I can not recommend this product. I tried to make mine work and finally gave up, too many flash failures.ENOCH C : yes, although it worked best when i had each flash on a receiver so they were all communicating in the same way.LEON C : This item works as advertised, and then some! I usually do not offer free opinions as like asses, we all have one., but I must say I never had any issues with this product.Scott D : No, they only work for the flashpoint moonlights. They also will not work with the battery pack if you're offsite and need to use one to power the lights. This sits in my drawer at the studio as a back up to my phottix units that can fire both. The phottix atlas II's would be a great lower cost option for what your trying to do
Shopper : Can you use the transmiter to a sony camere hot shoe?CYNTHIA H : Sorry, I don't know the specs for the Sony camera system.JOHN B : Hey there, yes the transmitter is not a TTL enabled transmitter so it should work on any camera's hotshoe.MICHAEL G : Not sure, I shoot with a Nikon. I cannot recommend this product. Mine had frequent flash failures so I stopped using it.

Working perfectly with Flashpoint Budget strobes

Purchased this remote to trigger 2 Flashpoint Budget Strobes. Remote worked on every shot. Comes complete with all cables and adapters. Very happy with the device.

Good price

You don't get all of the features of the high priced radio remotes but the little I use them they work great for me. I would give them a five star rating if the battery wasn't dead when I received the product. Some instructions about replacing the battery would have been nice since I didn't know it had one, I thought maybe it got power from the hot shoe on the camera. I figured it out by reading reviews.

Works but connection is a bit jiggly

I use this with a DG600 monolight. It's been completely reliable but if I angle the light up at all the power cord from the trigger tends to work itself loose and shut down the light. I ended up wrapping a couple layers of electrical tape around the plug.

Works as advertised

I took a chance and glad I did. Fires immediately; no lag time. I use with Flashpoint 320Ms. So far it is reliable and I will continue to use. Best bang for the buck. No TTL, manual only but no problem for me, I always use flash meter to get the light just right. If you are on a budget you can't beat them, but I find these are a great substitute for more expensive brands. They are not built real sturdy but I purchased three sets in case of any failure. So far no issues. I plan on buying the DC version too. Works great in studio and out doors as well. Very good distance.

A must buy!!!

I was skeptical at first about using this product because I had been using a remote infrared trigger for so long. I bought this and I love it. It fires fast there is no lag with it like the other triggers i have used.. I no longer have to worry about missing important shots.

Very good product so far...

I bought this item to go along with a new strobe and did not want to be tethered by any wires, so a radio trigger was an absolute must. So far the ease and convenience of this item has been wonderful.

as expected

It does not have bells and whistles, but does the job done. This item probably is not for a very long use (or needs to be very well taken care of), because the construction is cheap and flimsy, but for that money it is perfect.

Be careful

I purchased this received to work with a previously purchased transmitter. Although they are the same brand and model, they are a different product, and will not work together. Be careful, and purchase only if you are buying the complete set.

Does not work with older FPRRS4 system.

I have an FPRRS4 transmitter and two receivers one of which is FPRRR4. They have worked wonderfully for a couple of years however the FPRRR4 receiver I just ordered is not compatible. It powers up fine but the FPRRS4 trigger will not fire it.

Works like a charm!

Quite easy to use. AC powered receiver eliminates the problem with batteries. Only derogatory comment is that the transmitter 12V battery is a little difficult to replace.

Works with Nikon D7000

Purchased for a home studio, the unit plays well with a D7000. Cheaply constructed, and should be included with the higher end Flashpoint monolight kits for free. The manual is missing important information, like the battery replacement procedure. There's a screw hidden under a sticker. If you try to pry the unit apart without removing the hidden screw, you will break it. The flash controller works as advertised, so four stars. Full review with photos here:[@]

Watch out for compatibility/reliability

These were great radio triggers for a couple of years. Not the rock-solid triggering reliability one might like, but not bad. Range is OK; works in large halls, and outdoors, and through one wall, but no more. Generally was very pleased, until I had to replace one that failed (after two+ years, that's ok for this price) then I discovered that the newer units under the same part number are not interoperable. So, all in all, great starting point while you learn, but if you're a pro, you can bank on forking over the big-bucks for one of the real professional grade systems at some point. Bottom line recommendation is yes, but not if you know you're livelihood depends on the 100% performance of the unit.

Amazing for the price!

This wireless trigger works like a charm. It's hard to spend 10x the amount on other name brand triggers when this works so well. Well worth the freedom of not bothering with cables. Please take my con into perspective. Obviously this is not constructed as well as a higher priced trigger, but it's only a trigger. It's not footwear or something you will be tossing around. With care this should last for many years...

Great Unit-has design/quality weaknesses

Received the unit and the transmitter internal 12 Volt battery was stone cold dead. Had to tear through the QC seal to remove the screw to get inside the unit. Replaced the battery and the unit worked properly only when mounted to my camera's hot shoe or when I press the "Test" button on top of the transmitter. The enclosed PC sync cord was defective as it has an open circuit. Replaced it with an identical unit (I had on hand) and now the unit fires my monolights intermittantly. The 1/8 inch phone jack (on the internal printed circuit board) either has a cold solder connection or is contacting the phone pin intermittantly. I will be using this unit with the PC sync cord most of the time, so I need a reliable connection through the transmitter's phone jack and PC sync cord. If I was using the transmitter mounted to my camera's hot shoe all of the time, the only issue I would have with this unit is the dead battery right out of the box.

NO WIRE TRIPPING

I WILL USE THIS PRODUCT FOR FAMILY GATHERINGS, QUINCEANERAS, WEDDINGS, PORTRAITS. I GOT IT IN TIME FOR MY NICE'S QUINCEANERA. WHAT A DIFFERENCE NOT DRAGGING CABLES AROUND. I HAVE TWO FLASHPOINT 320'S AND THEY WORKED FINE ALL NIGHT LONG FOR 325 FLASH SHOTS. QUINCEANERAS ARE THE HISPANIC EQUIVALENT OF A SWEET SIXTEEN. THE KIDS LOVED THE PICTURE TAKING WITH THE QUINCEANERA. FOR SHOTS AWAY FROM THE SET UP, JUST PULLED OFF THE TRANSMITTER, SLID THE FLASH AND SHOOT. I LOVED EVERYSHOT TAKEN, SOME SAY YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR, BUT I BELIEVE I GOT MORE THAN WHAT PRICE I PAID FOR THIS GADGET. IT MAY NOT BE A POCKET WIZARD, BUT MY OLD BUICK TAKES BE TO WORK JUST AS WELL AS A MERCEDES!

Works, but only just

Works great with the included receiver, but is not compatible with other Flashpoint receivers. Also, the power cord is not at all compatible with Flashpoint's own strobe light. Had to scavenge a power cord from my computer to plug it in. Now requires 2 power cables to my strobes.

Surprisingly good

I used these to get me by as I was saving for better equipment. They did a great job in my studio. They were hooked up to photogenic powerlights and triggered flawlessly for the time they were being used. I'm in an area that doesn't have interference from other signals, so they worked great for me.

Amazing product for the price

Super easy to setup, even easier to use. Plug them in and forget about them. Have yet to have a misfire while shooting. Can be a bit of a challenge while trying to use a light meter. You have to plug the transmitter into the PC socket of the light meter and carry both around. Other than that a great, inexpensive solution for a small studio.

Have used for 6 months+ and no problems

Even with its low cost, this product performs flawlessly. Have used it for over six months with no problems. I have an older light meter, that still works perfectly, and bought an additional transmitter. Using the plug with the transmitter, plugged into the light meter and now I have a wireless light meter that also works every time.

This immediately removed the hassle of tripping on the sync cord in my small studio. I should have bought one of these years ago. Simple instructions, but they really weren't needed.

Works perfectly so far

Remote has worked perfectly so far, although I've only used it at short ranges (20' or less). It doesn't look particularly sturdy, though especially the transmitter. If I was going to be transporting them around a lot I might look for something better constructed.

Simple and works

By Zodjunior

Works great, well worth the freedom it provides in the studio. No more hit or miss cable connections. Use this on one of my Flashpoints and the other is set on slave. Not one misfire, love it. What a bargain.

worth every cent!

By layz

Do not even think twice. they are amazing! Please note that you cannot hook these up to speedlites. They rate them a 90ft. range, but i have shot almost double that. I love them!!!!

• Designed to simultaneously trigger monolights or strobes wirelessly. There are four channels so each channel can avoid interference from others working the same job. It will also keep others at the event from firing your lights with their point and shoot cameras. Because of its low power consumption the transmitter can be fired 20,000 times on a single 3 volt, #BYUL23A battery. There is only 0.01mA of current so it may be safely used with all digital and film cameras.

This set is not compatible with older sets. Please check with our staff.

Key Features

  • Compact & Lightweight
  • Low current makes it safe to use
  • Has a working range of 90 feet
  • Receiver works off the 110 Volt AC power supplied to the monolight
  • New Version introduced May 2012 & this is compatible with FPRRS4N

What's in the box:

  • Flashpoint Transmitter
  • Receiver with 1/4" Phono Plug
  • 3.5 (Mini) Sync Adapter
  • 12" PC Sync Cord for Camera without a Shoe
  • BYUL23A Battery
  • Flashpoint 1 Year Warranty
