Used RadioPopper Jr 2 Transmitter

I?ve always been a Radiopopper fan but I?m not thrilled with this particular product. It doesn?t fire every time but I?m guessing it has something to do with the poor connection at the hot shoe. The dial to tighten it is poor quality and it is either too tight and gets stuck or too loose and slides off. I also had to tape the battery door on.

I purchased seven of these to use with my speedlights

This is hands-down the easiest triggering system to use that isn't built into flashes (like the canon 600 ex-rt). I wonder why their popularity has waned over the years, as the jrx (this unit's predecessor) was fantastic (with a few reliability issues). I just wish it were made a bit more durable.. otherwise it's the perfect system.

Can't control power of Yongnuo YN-565 for Canon (The most popular third party Canon flash) Can't control power of the Sunpak 120Jii - one of the most popular Canon bare-bulb flashes. Website says "Compatible with most popular Canon compatible flashes" ?? If an old Canon 50D can control the power of the Yongnuos, why can't Radiopopper. Sending the whole system back.

These just came out a few months ago, and apparently they aren't flying off the shelves. I say this because when I received the two receivers I purchased together with the Jr2 transmitter, they did not offer wireless power control of my 430 EX Canon Speedlite (one of the marquee features of this product). After some correspondence with customer support, I was told that I needed to ship back the units so the firmware could be updated, which is another thing to be aware of. You can't update the firmware yourself, despite the fact that the units have a USB ports for doing that. The software they will be releasing for this isn't available and they won't say when it will be. At this time, the firmware can (apparently) only be updated by shipping the units back to them (at your own cost by the way). When you do ship them back, they may sit on their shelves for well over a week before getting serviced, although customer service will probably tell you (as they did to me) that it will be a "quick turnaround". From the time they received my returned units, it was 11 days before I could see that they were on their way back to me. FYI... I have been using (and loving) the RadioPopper Jrx series of transmitter and receivers for the last few years very happily. In my opinion, they're the best on the market in the cross section between features and price. It's just that these Jr2's are new and they obviously weren't ready for prime time - neither the product, or the company to support them. Buyer beware.
