I just got confirmation that my set was sent to UPS for shipment. Who else got a set?

I can't wait, cause I've been messing around more with wireless ETTL with the ST-E2. I think I like the freedom to control A B ratios from the camera more than having to walk to each flash and set it manually... that and high speed shutter is just plain awesome.

I will be ordering a setup shortly. 2 TX, and 4 RX in all (ouch). But it will cover running my 4 580's and give me a second TX as backup just in case. I wish I could swap out my PWizards to offset the cost, but I can't as I still need them for the studio strobes.

It will be fun not having to mess around with neutral density filters while shooting outdoors in sunlight. Not having to run around and change the settings at each strobe will be nice as well.

drPheta, when did you place your order? I got in on the 2nd batch, so just curious if the May 11 ship date is getting pushed up or not.

Still waiting on my shipping notice.

I second that. I have read the reviews linked to the radiopopper website, but I would love to hear from one of you civilians in POTN-land.

Are Radio Poppers P1 only usable by speedlites, or can they be used on standard studio strobes and monolights?

you wanna buy a couple more and sell them to me? I can't buy them in canada, and they don't ship them here. Add a small handling fee if you must...

I would just love to be able to remotely control the output from slaves
