Combine this ability with the numerous channels and groups offered by the transmitter and this could be the perfect combination for wedding and event shooters as monolights could be set up in a formal shooting area for posed portraits and speedlights could be set up around an event space for more candid photos. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I also set up this trio to try as a two-light setup using the monolight as the key light and the speedlight as a fill light. It\u2019s a doable option for those who are not speed shooters and cannot afford a second monolight at the moment. This temporary setup can also advantageous because what is a second light in the studio, can also be taken outside the studio and into the great outdoors for use so it becomes a versatile lighting option. The only drawback is that the recycling time for the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/searchsite\/default.aspx?searchinfo=flashpoint+zoom+ttl+r2+flash+with+integrated+r2+radio+transceiver\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">R2 Zoom Flashes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is 1.5 seconds vs. the 0.5 to 0.9 seconds of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/fplfrp600b.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">monolight<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, so you would not be able to take advantage of the speed the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/fplfrp600b.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">monolight<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> provides when using them together.
