User Reviews for Flashpoint R2

It's OK

Does what it says it will do although just a bit odd in spots. There is a current bug, however, where the transmitter fails to sync the FEC consistently with the app while in TTL mode. Adorama has confirmed this and informed Godox. Awaiting firmware update. (Sony version)

I wanted to love this

Profoto recently made huge waves by allowing iPhone users to connect with and use their strobes with their phones camera. With their price being so far out of reach, I figured I just wouldn't ever get that feature.. But today after getting my R2 transmitter, I found buried at the back of the book mention of this app and the ability to do just that!But as others have stated almost a year ago now, I can connect to the R2, I can configure and test for the strobes, but once I enter the camera portion of the app? No strobe. Only a message: "Recycling..."And that basically drops the appeal of this app to nil for me. Maybe I'd use it two or three times a year to mass-configure my lights, but why would I scramble to do with my phone what I could easily accomplish with the camera and transmitter that's already in my hands?

Split View/landscape support please!

I am writing this hoping that the developers see it. I love the app and use it everyday for work on my iPad. I use this app while also using the CamRanger app and it is quite inconvenient to have to switch back and forth between the apps constantly. If you could PLEASE make this app compatible with landscape view and Split View on iPad this would be so much more convenient and would increase my workflow tremendously. Thank you so much!

AWB does not work, displays whatever the last manually selected WB was/is.

AWB for my local iPhone 10XS Max Camera does not work in this app at all. The App fails 100% on this front - forcing me to manually select WB from the App’s preset options. Once one has been selected if you try the “AWB” again it will show the output based on the previous manually selected option so it is definitely NOT AWB. Switching to Incandescent and then to AWB will yield the exact same result (note only after selecting “Incandescent” at least one time prior to setting AWB). If I attempt AWB to begin with the colors are unacceptably poor. There’s Simply Not enough QA on this App. Note that I got this App for the Wireless Flash Control options, I didn’t even know it had a phone Camera function… Personally I would remove that function until it actually works and focus QA efforts towards the Flash Control aspect as that is clearly *the selling point here*. To be fair there may be some customers that use an iPad/phone camera for RealEstate and need to use Real Flashes but the majority of users are here for granular control over R2 Pro controlled strobes and GoDox units. That *really* that needs to work before releasing the iPad/iPhone Camera feature in the App. On the strobe/flash control side I’m still testing the App with my AD200’s and Sony mounted R2ProMark2. I’ll provide more feedback as needed.

Stop wasting our time

I’m another customer who just wasted time and effort on trying to get this app to work, but getting the same error “recycling” message that others reported almost a year ago?Stop wasting our time and either fix this bug or pull the app from the store.

Does not work!!

This would be amazing if it actually worked. Being able to use a real flash system with an iPhone camera would be game changing. However every time you press the shutter button a message appears saying ‘recycling’ and nothing happens. Pressing Test in the flash menu works fine.

Works Great for me

I’m not certain how the other folks who rated the app use it, but I’ve not had any issues for my purposes. I primarily use it to control the Power values on 5 or 6 GODOX and Flashpoint mono-lights at a time for my DSLR - don’t use the camera option at all. It quickly connects to the trigger and allows easily changing values for any group. I especially like the ability to put any group in standby mode which makes testing a single group at a time very easy. The function to export and import all settings at once along with a photo of the result is handy since I use multiple cameras and multiple triggers at the same time.

No landscape view

For real estate photographers it would be helpful to have the landscape view when we use this on our iPads in a shoulder case. I don’t use the app because of this feature not being available.

Looking forward to the functionality but...

The app crashed when using the camera functionality on both iPad Pro and iPhone X on iOS 12. :(

Does not fire the flash in Camera mode

This feature to trigger OCF via Bluetooth with the R2 Transmitter would be a game changer for all iPhonographers. Even though I am able to successfully pair the R2 Transmitter and test fire the flash, once in the Camera mode, as another reviewer stated, the flash will NOT fire. Without firing, it only indicates status that it is “recycling”. I am using the latest firmware on the Tranmitter which is v 1.5.
