My complete inability to exploit TTL flash will hold me back. Every time I experiment with TTL, I flee to manual mode when the lighting doesn’t do what I want.

Manual mode only control means one JrX transmitter, plus one JrX studio receiver per monolight (pretty minor cost so far), then one PX receiver per strobe (ouch). The nice (I mean Nice) part of their system is that I could get a PX transmitter later to enable TTL and fp sync. For my set of lights, the price tag adds up to a really nice lens.

But when would I use fp sync? OK, sure, I could have used it just yesterday, but the IR stuff would have worked for me and I was too distracted to try it.

I love the remote control aspect, but that won’t bag me images I can’t get already. If I didn’t have a radio system already, I’d definitely get an all JrX kit for the range and opportunity to upgrade later. I conclude that I’m too lame to benefit from the awesome new capabilities of the PX/JrX.

I really like the way you can upgrade the capability of the JrX basic kit by flashing the receiver. Very cool.

I don’t want to diminish their accomplishment, I’d like to point out that what we want is something that can read the Canon/Nikon flash signalling directly from the hot shoe. I’m certain this is easily possible even if the pins are used differently for each make. It is not rocket science.
