Just wondering if anyone has got RadioPopper PXs and how they fare.

I have mine and have been impressed so far. VERY reliable and got them firing at up to 400 feet away.

Thanks, could you possibly show me how the PX attaches to the flash?

Works great. It attaches by Velcro. The rp guys have some YouTube videos showing you how to apply your velcro. They are also coming out with a non-velcro, shoe-mount system for the receiver, but it has been delayed for a while now.

Saw the videos last night. Any sort of ETA for the RPs? It seems that they have been delayed for quite some time for the JrX too, a shoemount solution would be most nice...

Anyone selling their PXs? :lol:

I agree on the shoe mount version. I watched the videos a few mins ago and was very turned off by the idea of velcroing these on my flash and positioning that little foam circle over some other tiny dot...ugh..seems fussy.

Still miles better than the P1 system. Now THAT was cumbersome!

Deciding if I should wait for the problem free EU freq PWs, or wait for the new RPs, or just get the current PX... argh decisions decisions!!

How can you buy the current PX(USA) units? They block direct sales outside USA and Canada.

I'm so jealous of you guys. I live in the Netherlands and you cant get the radio poppers here. They're way better than the new pocket-wizards and they work on both nikon and canon.

Can I ask, if anyone has used their PXs with NiMH AAAs, does it work? I tried asking the people at Radiopopper.com but they were quite insistent that it uses 1.5V alkalines.

The alkalines last forever, and I found the meter to be very reliable....

AND THE NEW MOUNTS ARE IN -- NO MORE VELCRO!!!!!!

Just ordered 3 mounts to go with my poppers......
