I'm on my third Flashpoint R2 Pro II transmitter for Sony. The first two were the screw on hotshoe mount. The first one broke between the screw part and the screen. The second that was replaced under warranty, my camera didn't recognize. Now the third one has the twist and click mount. It worked great at first but now as you can see in the video it wobbles losing connection. Adorama is replacing it under warranty also but do any others that use these transmitters have this issue?

I use the older model, and haven’t had any real issues to speak of. Keep thinking I’ll buy a backup but just haven’t yet. I’ve had it for maybe 5 years no probs.

I sold my older model with my AD200 and hated I didn't keep it as a bakup.

I have the original Pro trigger from whenever it launched for Sony and the Mark II as well. Use the old one as a backup or to trigger the lights when I’m metering. Besides the battery doors being basically cosmetic, no issues.

Not denying you’re having your own issues, just can’t say I’ve had any problems with mine.

I had the Mark ii for both Sony and Nikon and experienced connection loss issues. I briefly read that other Nikon users were experiencing connection issues without a conclusive answer. I went back to the Mark i and everything has been fine since.
