The channel settings, for example, sometimes didn’t stay on the last used setting. There were a few times that I had to spend a few minutes troubleshooting to figure out why the transmitter wasn’t paired with the flash. The R2 transmitter also has a lot of controls that take time to learn. It’s advanced enough that even experienced users could benefit from a look through the manual to avoid missing anything. Second, there are a lot of features in this flash and only so much room to display them. Flashpoint’s symbol for the wireless connection is also a Z-shaped arrow, not the standard signal tower for wireless. The menu label is just as close to a different button as it is to the menu button. I’ve used a few different flashes before and there were a few things about this flash that were not self-explanatory.įirst, the buttons on the back are poorly labeled. The Flashpoint Zoom Li-on III is a flash that required digging in the instruction manual, personally. But, I’ll be using a camera rain poncho or big Ziplock if I want to use this flash in heavier rain. I was caught in an unexpected mist while shooting a wedding with this flash and it didn’t get destroyed. The battery compartment is open at the sides, so there’s more potential for rain to get in. It’s not something I can recommend with the Flashpoint Zoom Li-on III, however. I’ve taken non-sealed flashes in the rain for a few minutes to backlight the rain. The buttons and switches all feel nice and smooth. The plastic construction actually feels a little nicer than my Nikon flash. The Flashpoint Zoom Li-on III doesn’t feel like a cheap flash.
