Both transmitter and reciever are set on channel 1 group A. I can trigger the flash from the transmitter but when the power is set on the transmitter the X1R reciever does not change the power on the flash. Does anyone have experience with this setup and can guide me? Thanks.

(3 edits in all) | Aug 30, 2018 16:11 | #2 I don't think the 580EX and 430EX are compatible with the R2 receiver. Flash Havoc's coverage of the X1C triggers The X1-C are separate transmitter and receiver units, with X1-C receivers being compatible with MK II style Canon compatible speedlites like the 580EX II and 600EX-RT etc. My guess is that the R2 triggers basically use the camera menu communication capability to control remote flashes, and the 430EX and 580EX (and 550EX) pre-date the Digic 4 introduction of the flash control menu in the camera.
