Hi,

I am able to use the flash as on camera flash properly without issues.

But the R2 Pro II doesn't seem to trigger for off camera flash.

Can someone help here?

I'll try to post more details.

I am using it on my E-M1 Mark ii.

thank you,
Kala

Check C.Fn ID on both units. If they don't match, the flash won't fire.
Make sure your camera is out of silent/electronic shutter. That deactivates the flash hotshoe.
Check the batteries in everything are good. Check everything's on the same channel.
Make sure the group you assigned on the V860II-O is set to be on on the R2 Pro II.

I'd have to agree with the others. Other that identical channels with the light and transceiver, matching ID's are usually the culprit that is if they were implemented during your setup. I have the Canon R2 trigger and I had the same problem at one time.
