Shopper conversation with Anne A. on August 08, 2016

Anne A.
Hi! Welcome to Adorama! How are you today? My name is Anne. Do you have questions about a camera? Or a lens? How can I help?
Hello Anne. Is there a high speed sync transmitter which works with http://www.adorama.com/fplfsl... I'll be using it with a Sony a6000 and maybe a Canon 5D Mark III
Anne A.
there is!
What is the link?
Anne A.
you can use the R2 system, or you can get a hss receiver to use with the r1 that comes with this, but only for the Canon
What is the link to the R2 system?
Anne A.
just a minute
for Sony, here is the transmitter -
and the receiver
for canon, there is a set -
I'm starting out with one streetlight, so no need for a set yet, correct?
streaklight
Anne A.
you will need a transmitter and receiver set to use it wirelessly
Oh, I understand now
Anne A.
this is the manual version - there is a TTL version too, with a built in receiver - would you be interested in that?
for canon?
Anne A.
yes. let me get that link
that light has the r2 recevier built in so you'd only need the transmitter on the camera
Will that set up also work with my sony a6000 manually?
Anne A.
yes, but you would have to use a transmitter and receiver set for the sony on it
I'm mainly wanting to use this with my sony a6000.
Anne A.
there is a sony version too -
it is still preorder but it's coming
I think I can handle the manual version for now.
Anne A.
with the manual version, you can use a bridge adapter to use th er2 system
let me check if it'll work with the sony
with that, you'll just need the Sony r2 transmitter on the camera and you can use the manual streaklight in HSS
Is there a receiver / transmitter set for sony?
To go along with this Flashpoint R2 TTL 2.4G Wireless Transmitter For Sony Cameras (X1T-S)
Anne A.
there is a receiver
here is the set
you can use the bridge receiver for the manual flash
Ah, that's the pre-order.
Anne A.
yes it is
this is the bridge recevier
you do need the bridge receiver instead of the hotshoe receiver for the streaklight
I can't
The R1 that comes in the Flashpoint StreakLight 360 Ws Flash with Blast Power Pack does not allow for high speed sync, correct?
Anne A.
it does not
But I if I purchased the Flashpoint Bridge R2 Receiver for Non-R2 Streetlights and the Flashpoint R2 TTL 2.4G Wireless Transmitter For Sony I would be able to use high speed sync?
Anne A.
yes
I use a manual streaklight with the r2 -
the only functionality you lose is the test button
for some reason it doesn't fire a test light from the transmitter with the r2 bridge receiver
Gotcha. Any other key accessories I should be aware of?
Anne A.
Do you have a light stand?
Yes, many of them.
A clip for the battery pack?
Anne A.
there is a clip that is sold
the pack comes with a shoulder strap you can use to hang it on the stand, or I use a zip tie
Thank you!
Anne A.
you're welcome!
I think those are all my questions. You've been very helpful.
Anne A.
Glad to help!
And if I want to use this with my canon 5d mark iii in the future I can just buy the canon transmitter / receiver set?
Anne A.
all you'll need is the canon transmitter
it's the same bridge receiver
this is the battery clamp if you want one -
enjoy your new light!
Yes, thank you.
Anne A.
you're welcome!
have a great day
