RadioPopper P1 Owner's Manual - Introduction
Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the RadioPopper P1 wireless radio
system. We hope you’ll find this system to be a valuable tool in your
creative lighting, giving you flexibility and control never before
possible.
The RadioPopper P1 system allows you to use the automatic and
high-speed sync functions built into your existing flash units without
concern of whether or not the master and slave units can “see” each
other. You now have the ability to place your lights wherever you
choose, then controlling the output power of each slave flash from the
camera body manually or automatically via your camera’s ETTL or iTTL
logic system. It’s also the world’s first product to effectively provide
you high speed sync by radio. Enjoy.
Please read this short manual entirely before installing or operating
your RadioPopper P1 wireless system. Proper installation is key to
correct operation.
If you have any troubles along the way, feel free to call or email.
How It Works
The RadioPopper P1 system is beautifully simple. Quickly mount the
P1 Transmitter to your Master flash, a P1 Receiver to each slave flash,
and your current master and slave wireless flash system continues to
function just as it always has, minus the line of sight limitation.
The RadioPopper P1 Transmitter “listens” to the light signal being
created inside the master flash unit or remote commander on your
camera’s hot shoe. The P1 Transmitter sends this signal by radio where
it is read by the RadioPopper P1 Receiver. The receiver then uses it’s
own internal light source to “reproduce” this light signal. The light is
sent down the flexible fiber optic cable where it lights a small nylon
bead at the end. When this bead is placed over the infrared sensor on
a slave flash, that slave flash responds to the “reproduced” light signal
just as it normally would had it seen the light directly from the master
flash.
Installation is easy. Just place the RadioPopper P1 Transmitter on top
of your master flash or IR commander device using the included Velcro
pads. “Look Ma! No wires!”
On the receiving end, add a P1 Receiver in a similar way, anchor the
optic bead over the infrared sensor on your slave flash and you’re all
done. No wires or adaptors and no complicated system to re-learn.
Now just power up and shoot. You’ve got remote control of your slave
flashes, full ETTL and iTTL support along with high speed sync all the
way to 1/8000, by radio.
