Prototype Radiopopper mounts

March 10, 2009

One of the oldest request since the inception of the Radiopopper devices has finally been answered.  Many photographers for one reason or another hated the use of velcro or gaffer tape to mount these devices to the flash.  Radiopopper answered with a hot shoe mount for both Nikon and Canon systems.  Here are some prototype images.

The 3 notches below are for the different Canon flashes.  The furthest to the left is for the older 550ex.  The middle is for the 580ex and the one closest to the base is for the 580exII.  The blemish is just part of the prototype and will not be in the final product.

One of the nice features not shown above is the metal screw mount on the bottom of the hot shoe plate which screws on to your lightstand.

Shannon: very cool!!!

Grant Marblestone: This will be a very nice addition!

Pete: When is the question? Always with RP when????

Jordan: Once the approval code is given, it would be a min of 3 weeks for the first production run. So, when would that be? No clue...

Tony: Any word if these are going to be included with future purchases? Or will they be an optional acc.

Mark: Perfect! I can now mount the entire unit to a universal umbrella swivel, lets me change the angle of the entire unit including the flash! http://www.mpex.com/browse.cfm/4,4722.html

Alan B: Hey Guys. Thanks for that PX review. I've been a Radiopopper user since early on with the P1 and now have the PX units. I'm still awaiting release of the new mounts (Canon), but already have a slight challenge with now having to mount the receivers on the front of the 580EX. I've got the Latolite Ezybox setup and using the PX with their flash mount/speedring gizmo causes the head of the flash to barely reach the mouth of the softbox. When the P1 receiver was mounted on the side of the flash this was not an issue. Guess it's always something...give and take. Just curious how you all configure your "softbox on a stick" rigs. Thanks, Alan B

David: When can we get these units, ? it's June 3 months since the announcement nearly

Grant Marblestone: perfect for bar mitzvah and bat mitzvah photography
