Questions & Answers

LORENZO V : Does this work with the sony a7iii?Brands@ A : Yes, no AF assist beamCURTIS C : Yes
GEORGE H : Regarding the Power Saving Mode... TIL the unit goes to standby after about 60 seconds. The manual says you can wake it up by pressing any of the buttons //>GR>/ If the transmitter is attached to the camera half pressing the shutter can also wake up the system. Question: is there a way to lengthen the 60 sec. standby/sleep mode ? I looked at the FN menu and do not see that option. Anyone figured out a hack ?DONALD F : Not that I am aware of, best to contact Adorama customer support for the real answer.
Sarah A : I am trying to use the Flashpoint R2 remotes for Sony with a Sony A7Rii camera and a Flashpoint RoveLight 600 ws light.  When I plug the Transmitter into the camera shoe and the receiver into the sync port on the monolight, the light fires when I press TEST.  But when I press the camera shutter the light does not fire.  I’ve checked channel, the batteries, I have Flash Mode set to Fill on the camera and I am not shooting in silent mode. What else can I check?TOMMY V : I have the Sony A7ii and disable wireless flash on menu page 14Brands@ A : The receiver just needs an update. Firmware updates for Flashpoint R2 products are available here: <a href="http://www.adorama.com/g/flashpoint_firmware_download" target="_blank">http://www.adorama.com/g/flashpoint_firmware_download</a>chad z : I've had many similar problems with these triggers on various Sony cameras. Unfortunately their hotshoe pin design is really poor compared to Canon or Nikon. First suggestion is to check the hotshoe pins on trigger and camera and make sure none are bent or broken. Next try different tensions on the trigger to the camera hotshoe. Some triggers need more tightening than others. Some triggers seem to prefer none at all. I've had to buy several of these triggers and I've found that if you keep the trigger in the original packaging and keep the protective plastic cover on when not in use the triggers last longer. I hope this helps. I feel your pain.

A good piece of equipment

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.

Function perfectly - No very strong

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.

R2 pro trigger

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.

Fujifilm version didn't fit correctly on Fujifilm cameras

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!

Trigger use with R6 Mark 2

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.

Great trigger until it had a tiny drop

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

Best ergonomics of all Flashpoint/Godox triggers

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.

Good Trigger

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.

Works but with a flaw

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

Great flexibility from this strobe controller

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 wireless flash controller

Breaks SO easily

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.

Exceeds my expectations

By jeffrey p.

A reasonably priced device that works well. Can trigger flash over a long distance. Works well on my Canon DSLR and can do HSS (which I could not do with another company's trigger / receiver set) at a cost much less than the Canon OEM products. I am presently using with a 5Div and two Canon Speedlights but the beauty of this product is that I can place any brand device with a Canon compatible hotshoe on it and it just works. What is also nice is the ability to add any other R2 receivers t...

seem reliable, and are useful for basic off-camera wireless radio control of one or more compatible flashes

By MICHAEL S.

Adorama has been offering its TTL-capable FlashPoint R2 transmitter/receiver set for Sony cameras with a multi-interface shoe at least since the beginning of 2017, but only the transmitter was available with a multi-interface shoe. Now the receiver is FINALLY available (9/20/17). The units are smaller than a pack of playing cards, and they seem far more robust than the inexpensive manual Yuonguo radio triggers I used for my Canon DSLR. They take two AA batteries, so they should hold up wel...

The Flashpoint R2-S is the ultimate radio transmitter for Sony mirrorless cameras that speaks to Flashpoint Streaklight, ZoomLi-on and Zoom and Sony Radio Remote without missing a beat and connects to all strobes with sync ports. The incredible range of these compact and lightweight units as well as their integrated functions and features make them the first choice of professional photographers. The proprietary TTL and HSS enabled 2.4GHz R2 Radio Remote System radio triggers transmits atop a Sony body and works with the complete family of Flashpoint Speedlights, Monolights and Strobe lights with R2 TTL radio transceiver built right in.

All the R2 enabled family communicate seamlessly: the lithium powered Zoom Li-on Nikon, Canon and Sony TTL speedlights, the Zoom AA alkaline powered speedlight, the fantastic Streaklight 360 Nikon and Canon TTL powerhouse, and the portable 600ws XPLOR600 monolights. Other strobes can be fired and controlled off camera while being attached to the R2 Radio Remote Receiver FPRRR2RS to grace remote link to earlier models.

The R2-S provides a full proprietary GR Group style interface allowing up to 5 Groups to be individually set to either TTL, Manual, or Off and most importantly, TTL and Manual Groups can be conveniently mixed together as needed. The battery powered units provide TTL, HSS (High Speed Sync) and even a HSS pre-sync timing adjustment for precision synchronization. PC cord sync input and output ports are provided for external device remote sync without automation. R2-S receivers are compatible with Sony system

Controlling the remote strobes is straightforward, with a large clear LCD panel interface aside 3 separate buttons relating to channel, groups and modes, while a thumb wheel provides fast scroll adjustment for the selected function. A simple switch located on the side of the transmitter allows the laser pattern Focus Assist Light to be switched on and off when needed.



The R2 Experience/Advantage

The R2 TTL Wireless Flash System is the advanced 2.4GHz radio remote that adds camera TTL dedicated custom functions to your multi flash experience. Easy to use buttons command a full range of functions like reliable channel triggering, group mode selectivity, HSS, all with powerful signal strength and exceptional stability to your selected camera flash language. LED panels clearly display the status of all remotely linked R2 compliant strobes so you always have control of group lighting mastery. R2 wireless communication gives speed of light response to on camera or off camera R2Family devices for a spectacular advantage on the shoot in any environment.
The proprietary TTL and HSS enabled 2.4GHz R2 Radio Remote System transmits atop a modern DSLR body with reliable TTL and pass-through to speedlights, plus laser AF assist.R2 transmitters work with the complete family of Flashpoint Zoom Speedlights, XPLOR600 Monolights and Streaklight Strobes with R2 TTL radio transceivers built right in. Add a R2 receiver to any legacy flash with a sync port and it too becomes part of the R2 Family! The incredible range of these compact and lightweight units as well as their integrated functions and features make them the first choice of professional photographers.
All the R2 Family enabled gear communicates seamlessly: the Lithium powered Zoom Li-on Canon, Nikon and Sony TTL speedlights, the Zoom AA alkaline powered speedlight, the fantastic Streaklight 360 Canon and Nikon TTL powerhouses, and the portable 600ws XPLOR600 series monolights. Other strobes can be fired and controlled off camera while being attached to the R2 Radio Remote Receiver to remote link to earlier models.
All the R2 enabled unitscommunicate seamlessly: the lithium powered Zoom Li-on and AA powered Zoom speedlights, the Streaklight 360 barebulb strobes, and the portable 600ws XPLOR600 monolights - now all available in Nikon, Canon and Sony TTL as well as Manual models, with more proprietary camera versions on the way. Other strobes can be fired simultaneously by being attached to the R2 Radio Remote Receiver, and older R1 Streaklight and Zoom Li-on units can be controlled and triggered using the bridge Receivers for Non-R2 Streaklights/Zoom Li-ons.
