    Hi there, I recently purchased the flashpoint r2 pro and a R2 receiver. Upon testing the units I noticed that on highspeed sync my photos are coming out under exposed, even though I'm using the correct exposure. However when I shoot the same shot with the flash attached to the camera on highspeed sync the results are quite accurate. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you for your time and great job with the vid.

    Can I ask with a-e. If for example your one channel say ch2. With the a-e and they are different powers if you would like one choose 4th power in group A then group be would B would 2nd power and c would be full power as set in advance. If they are all on channel 2. Would it just be a matter of selecting a b or c if already prepared in advanced?

    TTL- the exposure will be automatically calculated and set by the camera, though you can override a little, Manual, you have to do it the calculation and adjustment yourself...

    Even though the EL-1 has radio capabilities, it's not compatible with the Godox radio system. In order to control and fire the EL-1 remotely, you need Canon's ST-E3-RT transmitter, or something compatible like the Phottix Laso transmitter

I start at channel 32, then proceed down towards 1, looking for a channel that works. No luck so far. I contacted Godox, and their solution is to have me share a video of the unit not working.
