Take full advantage of all the features on compatible flashes with the third iteration of the Canon Speedlite Transmitter ST-E3-RT. This transmitter simplifies complex lighting setups by facilitating radio-controlled, two-way wireless transmission at distances up to 98.4' among up to five groups or 15 individual Speedlites. Wireless Rear Curtain Synchronization is available for capturing light trails and creating motion blur in your images. An expansive minimum output range allows you to stop down to 1/8192 for very low-light shooting. Another useful feature is FE Memory, which allows you to lock in an E-TTL flash exposure level, even in complex multi-flash setups, and subsequently continue to use it for the same scene or subject. Eight types of custom functions and three types of personal functions are included in the design. The LCD panel and backlit controls allow for easy operation even when you're working in dimly-lit environments.

Does V3 reduce the amount of dropped links to flash units? This is a significant issue with V1 and V2 transmitters.
Asked by: Michael
The dropped link problem had NOT been solved. I picked up this new unit hoping that after 6 years Canon might have developed some shielding. I also picked up their new 430EX III flash to test. The transmitter links up to the new flash as well as my older Canon 600 EX II RT. After several minutes the link drops. This is the same behavior everyone has noticed for year. Turning off all the units and re-starting will re-link them for several minutes. The time until they drop is always different. Yes, this is an environment with Wi -Fi. I suppose this might work for some fill flash in the mountains but is not going to work in any studio or urban environment. I don't recommend buying this transmitter - it simply will not work.
