Easily control flashes through wireless radio receivers

Enjoy the confidence and flexibility of radio wireless flash and camera triggering, even in bright lighting conditions or around obstacles, making difficult shots and wide shooting areas (30 m) easier. The FA-WRC1M wireless radio commander, attached to compatible cameras, allows reliable triggering when combined with the FA-WRR1 wireless radio receiver.

Wireless capabilities that go the distance

The FA-WRC1M wireless radio commander and FA-WRR1 wireless radio receiver feature a maximum range of 30m (98.4ft) so you can flexibly create multiple wireless flash setups over an expansive area, including having the flash positioned behind the camera in a way that would be impossible with a conventional infrared system.

Effortless pairing with wireless radio receivers

Pairing multiple FA-WRR1 radio receivers to the FA-WRC1M wireless radio commander is designed to be quick, so you can spend less time setting up, and more time getting shots. Simply hold down the receiver power button for a few seconds to enter pairing mode, then add each receiver to the radio commander.

Flexible flash shooting modes

Combine multiple receivers (up to 15 receivers, within up to 5 groups) for accurate wireless transmissions. Easily control multiple flash units for more creative lighting options, with a minimum of equipment.

Convenient remote flash setting confirmation

Select from convenient through-the-lens (TTL) flash metering, manual, or up to 5 independent flash groups for functional light control. With centralized control using the FA-WRC1M wireless radio commander, lighting adjustment is quick and easy.
