They say they’ve been testing prototype units for the last six months. I mentioned Flash Havoc earlier, but they’ve got a great write up on the new trigger. It’s not yet clear, however, whether it will use the existing Godox existing remote app, or whether Adorama will be releasing one of their own. If your phone can talk directly with the R2 Pro Mark II, instead of talking to an A1 with the camera’s trigger in App mode, then you don’t need the A1 at all anymore. Seeing this feature built into the trigger is great, but it does make the Godox A1 something of a redundant product now. Now I’m able to adjust the camera and the lights, as well as fire the camera, without ever having to touch it. It’s ideal for products and composites where you want the camera to be perfectly still between shots while you move things around. I’ve been using the A1 a lot more since they finally released the Android app. So, it will entirely replace the need for the Godox A1 in your setup. The adoption of built-in Bluetooth is for Smartphone App control. When the light goes out and I want to see the screen, I have to press a button and hope I didn’t change something to get it to light back up again. You’re also able to dig deeper into high speed sync to customise the settings, the LED backlight gets its own dedicated button. We have a larger control dial, which will be easier for those of you with larger fingers, a second test fire button for individual groups, and more refined power control over modelling lights. And they’re backlit so that you can see them when it’s dark (often the case when you’re using flash – that’s probably why you’re using flash). Along with a whole lot of new features is a whole lot of new buttons. Now you won’t have to bug all your Windows-using friends to update your kit. The biggest one that’s going to make a lot of people very happy is that there may finally be a Mac release of the firmware update software. LCD Backlight Button – Shortcut Set LCD & Button Lighting.Fast Group Management – Shortcut Turn Groups ON & OFF.Audio Function Control Via Individual Groups.Modeling Light Power Control in 5% Increments.Backlit Buttons for easy viewing in darkness.R2 Smartphone Commands Any Flash Function.Built-in Bluetooth for Smartphone APP Control.10 Quick Access Dedicated Function Buttons.Quick Access Group Buttons Located Around the Control Dial.So, let’s have a look at what Adorama describes as the R2 Pro Mark II’s significant new features. But, it’s fully compatible with all of the Godox kit. And this one truly is Adorama’s “Pro” Flashpoint trigger, not simply a Godox rebrand. The Mark II is what the XPro was originally supposed to be. So, that’s what we got.īut now Adorama’s own Flashpoint version is ready. But Godox didn’t like the layout and was able to produce the XPro we have now much sooner. FlashHavoc says that this was the original concept that Adorama sent to Godox for the XPro. It seems that it’s been in development for a long time, too. It seems that this trigger is an original Adorama design, according to various comments over on FlashHavoc.
