RadioPopper !!

I had a chance to test out RadioPopper last month when I went to OSPW2 at Napa California.

Kevin King is so awesome.. He explained very details about this product.

When I tried the product, I was blown away. Works great and solved my problem when I use STE-2 outdoor in bright sun light.

I have been using STE-2 for a while now.. and can’t wait to purchase radiopopper addition to my STE-2.

Anyway, Here’s a little bit details about Radiopopper:

What is the RadioPopper?

The RadioPopper addresses a key issue faced by photographers when it comes to reliable triggering of off camera wireless flashes. The industry currently offers two basic solutions – each with strengths, and each lacking the strengths of the other.

Radio – Reliable, not always Usable

You can purchase high quality radio triggering devices that activate your remote lighting. These devices can be trusted to activate your lights nearly 100% of the time, but all lights must still be controlled manually. You’ll need to physically reach your lights to dial in their power as the scene changes. Additionally, you’ll usually require some sort of external light meter, trial and error, or considerable experience with your lights to dial in the correct exposure. This is a fine solution on commercial sets or environments that don’t change very quickly, but this solution alone is just not very practical when shooting events such as weddings, or chasing a toddler around a park during a family session.

Automatic Wireless – They call it “ETTL”

Canon and Nikon got smart and found a way to automatically adjust the power of all your remote slave flashes on the fly – automatically – shot to shot. And if you did prefer manual, you could still operate said flashes in manual mode – using an on camera master to remotely set the output power of your slave flashes. A beautifully workable solution. Unfortunately, this type of solution is dependent on a light signal sent between the master and slave flash. This allows the big manufacturers to export their products into more countries without the worry of radio licensing, but it amounts to a triggering system that isn’t always reliable.

Bridging the Camps

So on one hand you’ve got reliable triggering, but a flash system that quickly becomes inconvenient and unworkable in changing lighting environments. You’ve got every convenience feature you could ask for built into your name brand flashes, but you dare not rely on it to light those really important moments.

RadioPopper addresses the key issue of reliability of the “line of sight” infrared system by essentially “bridging” the infrared light signal over a radio link. This translates to a beautifully simple solution to a very complex problem.
