RadioPopper has put together this PX Studio Kit for Nikon with 1 Receiver to give photographers the benefit of wireless triggering and TTL exposure control at distances up to 1750' away. The kit includes 1 PX Transmitter and 1 PX Receiver for Nikon.

Transmitter

The RadioPopper PX-T Transmitter maintains the ETTL/iTTL functions of your camera and flash while adding radio triggering that can fire your flash at distances of up to 1750' depending on the prevailing conditions.

The transmitter, which comes loaded with both Canon and Nikon software, mounts to your master flash or commander and allows slave flash units equipped with a PX Receiver to receive E-TTL or i-TTL signals by radio without the limitation of having to be in line of sight with each other. Put simply, the RadioPopper enhances your ETTL/iTTL system by allowing it to act like a radio slave setup.

The 16-channel PX-T Transmitter has an auto-search feature that seeks out the cleanest channel for use at your specific location. Several flash units can added to up to 3 groups that can be controlled and fired simultaneously or group by group. There are no wires or shoe mounts on the unit, instead the transmitter is touch-fastened to the top of your master flash.

While DSLRs can use up to 1/250 second sync speed, the PX system also supports high-speed sync speeds up to 1/8000 sec. The PX Transmitter gets approximately 25 hours of power-on time from the two included AAA batteries. It requires use of the PX Receiver for normal operation.

Receiver

The RadioPopper PX-RC Receiver works together with the PX-T transmitter to maintains the E-TTL/i-TTL functions of your camera and flash while adding radio triggering that can fire your flash at distances up to 1750' away. While the receiver is compatible with both Canon and Nikon flash units, this version comes with a Nikon mount. When used with the required PX Transmitter on your master flash or commander, slave flash units equipped with the a receiver can get E-TTL/II or i-TTL signals by radio which are then translated into IR commands without the limitation of having to be in line of sight with each other. Put simply, the RadioPopper enhances your E-TTL/i-TTL system by allowing it to act like a radio slave.

The 16-channel receiver allows you to cluster flash units in up to 3 groups that can be controlled and fired simultaneously or group by group. The PX-RC gets approximately 25 hours of power-on time from the two included AAA batteries.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. BH Photo, do you have EU version of this transmitter?

A: We offers a CE/Euro version of the PX-T, which is B&H # RAPXTCE. Please see the image for reference.

Q: 2. Will this receiver work with an older rp transmitter? I lost one of the rp cubes but see that you dont make that model anymore.

A: Unfortunately no. I bought an older version of this thinking it will work with my RP JR2 setup (1 JR2 transmitted, 2 JR2 receivers). The older RP JR1 received did not sync or recognize the RP JR2 transmitter. Recommend by like for like in this case.

Q: 3. Do you have EU version?

A: Unfortunately, we only offer this unit for use in the US under FCC guidelines.

Q: 4. Can this unit be used to remotely trigger a camera?

A: The Jr2 is for remotely setting off flashes not to trigger a camera.

Q: 5. How do I select that I want this for canon camera? It says canon or Nikon optional but doesn't give the option to choose between the two. Does it somehow work for both? I added to cart and even then dos not give me the option to select canon or Nikon.

A: The JR2 transmitter actually works for both Nikon or Canon without changing any settings. The transmitter is triggered only by the center contact on the hotshoe. It doesn't use any of the proprietary contacts that communicate TTL exposure. You manually control flash output by manipulating the settings on the transmitter. The JR2 transmitter will allow you to use Nikon speedlights with Canon body or vice versa or even to mix Nikon and Canon and third-party speedlights in the same shot.

Q: 6. Can I still sync Nikon SB900/800 remote flashes thru the camera when using the Nano to fire them?

A: A RadioPopper Nano Transmitter B&H # RANANOT would need to be on the camera's hot shoe to fire any Nikon flash attached to a Nano Receiver off camera. You would not be able to use an on camera flash in conjunction with the Nano Transmitter.

Q: 7. Will this control power on Nikon SB 900?

A: Yes it will.

Q: 8. There aren't any pictures showing the bottom of the receiver. Nor description indicating there's a thread to mount the receiver to a stand. The picture does show it mounted to a stand as indicated in the image in use 1 ...Do I need an adapter to mount to my stand or does it have a thread on bottom?

A: I was able to attach the Nano Receiver directly to a stand. On the Nano Receiver, there is a female threaded Brass Insert on the underside that is not shown. There was a brass top on my stand that I removed a plastic cover from and it revealed a threaded stud which I threaded the Nano Receiver to and then attached a Speedlight to the receiver.

Q: 9. Will this work with the Metz mecablitz 52 AF-1 digital Flash for Sony Multi-Interface Shoe Cameras for TTL?

A: Unfortunately not. Radio Poppers doesn't make a TTL radio for Sony flashes.

Q: 10. If I understand how these work, they just interpret the optical slave information into radio frequency, send the info to the receiver which then interprets it back into optical info. If that's the case, can this be used with Sony?

A: I'm using these with Nikon and the SU-800 commander and SB-910 and 800 speedlights. They do solve the problem of triggering flashes when the unit cannot see other units. There are several choices to do this. The advantage of this unit is that you can also change the output of the speedlights in the mix because that's what the commander unit does. I am not sure what functionality is provided by Sony. If you're only tring to trigger the flashes and not control the output then I would choose something from pocket wizard. The new Nikon speedlights have radio control built in eliminating the need for all of this.
