I got it say I've looked at a lot of different things and but that they all suck these things are fantastic weather your transmitter or receiving you can't go wrong it's not TTL though but if you're really a photographer who the hell needs TTL

Easily broken

I have 5 of these. 4 are currently broken. The plate that attaches to the flash came off of one, and the antenna broke off of two of them, and one just doesn't work for whatever reason. When new, they worked great, and were very consistent. I use them for weddings, and think maybe they are better suited for a slower paced studio setting.

I bought this so that I can use my speedlite along with my strobe. It works with my older RadioPopper receiver, plus the new receive I just purchased. It took a little time to figure out how to sync it all since the directions only give you generalize info, but I finally got it all to work nicely.

Good as long as you can get a connection

I couldn't figure out why the flash wasn't working when I first tried it. Upon further inspection I wasn't getting a good connection because the hot shoe set screws make for a tight connection to my Canon 430 Ex II. Once I realized I had to shove it in there and wiggle it around I was able to get a connection. It is also super tight and hard to get back out. But seems built better than other similar stuff and does what it's supposed to. Hopefully this helps someone else that experiences a similar issue.

Works As Advertised

The Radio Popper Nano Receiver is the most consistently firing trigger I have used. I also have the Pocket Wizard Flex system and they are completely unreliable. I'm ready to dump them. YOu can hardly ever get the stars to align right to get them to fire. The Radio Poppers on the other hand work as they should, every time. I also appreciate the small size. I do location families and commercial work and size and weight are a main concern. The only thing I dislike is that the battery door slides off completely and because of this, I lost a battery door on a hectic, fast moving job last week. Now I'll have to resort to duct tape, I suppose. Other than that, these are great.

I would buy this product again and have actuall done so :)

I have used this to trigger multiple studio lights in my studio and out on location and it has not let me down!

Great Deal

The Radio Popper Nano receiver is very easy to use and is versatile. You can attach a flash directly to the receiver or plug it into your studio light. The receiver can also attach directly to a light stand. The Radio Popper Nano is available at a great price as well.

question

what do I need to use the tx with slt-a65 and rx with hvl-f42am? ( besides the tx & rx)
Asked by: Anonymous
The transmitter has a standard hotshoe. To use that with the Sony a65 you need a transmitter two adapters.RadioPopper Nano TransmitterB&H # RANANOT Mfr # NANO-Thttp://bhpho.to/1yMjB7b This is for the camera.Sony Auto-Lock Shoe AdapterB&H # SOADPAMA Mfr # ADPAMAhttp://bhpho.to/1gjWYR5This is for the flashSony Multi-Interface Shoe AdapterB&H # SOADPMAA Mfr # ADPMAAhttp://bhpho.to/1cjK16q

question

How can I connect it to Nikon dc-2 camera plug to remotely trigger the shutter?
Asked by: Florent P.
You would connect a remote cable with the DC-2 connector to this receiver into the miniphone jack on the side of it. One such cable you can use is the Vello 3.5mm Remote Shutter Release Cable for Nikon DC-2 Cameras, B&H # VERCCN235. Please see the image below for reference.

question

I've read that photographers will use these poppers in conjunction with Nikon's $230 optical slave for better results, what say you?
Asked by: Anonymous
The RadioPopper Nano Receiver is a radio wireless sync and does not work with an optical slave.

Can I still sync Nikon SB900/800 remote flashes ...

Can I still sync Nikon SB900/800 remote flashes thru the camera when using the Nano to fire them?
Asked by: Chris
A RadioPopper Nano Transmitter B&H # RANANOT would need to be on the camera's hot shoe to fire any Nikon flash attached to a Nano Receiver off camera. You would not be able to use an on camera flash in conjunction with the Nano Transmitter.
