Hi all. I have been using Phottix Stratos II as an off camera flash trigger / receiver with success but this unit cannot control the off-camera flash from the camera menu nor can it do HSS unless the flash is mounted on the camera. At a friend's suggestion, I got the Flashpoint R2 and am pleased. Certainly, for the price, it is a nice setup. The off camera flash can be controlled from the camera menu and I can now do HSS.
My question is whether there is any way to trigger the Speedlight RT from the R2 trigger without mounting the flash on an R2 receiver? Does Canon use a proprietary frequency or code that can only be sent from a Canon trigger or flash? I am trying to see if there is any way to not need another receiver but use the R2 trigger to fire the flash directly. Hope this makes sense. I am pretty new to the whole use of flash off camera and to using more than one flash so sorry if I am not clear.
Thanks.
