Flashpoint have announced the R2 Pro-N / Godox XPro-N, TTL and HSS enabled radio transmitter for Nikon DSLR’s, and they are available now from Adorama for $69.00.
With a large clear dot matrix LCD screen displaying all 5 groups at simultaneously, and individual dedicated groups buttons, the Pro transmitter provides a big improvement over the previous R2 / X1 transmitter’s user interface.
And therefore a great improvement for the complete Flashpoint & Godox 2.4GHz flash system.

TCM (TTL – Convert – Manual) function, allows a fast initial exposure to be made using TTL, and then at the press of a button converted to Manual power levels displayed on the transmitter, for further refinement and consistency between shots in Manual mode. The R2 PRO II now also allows the converted manual power levels to be quickly reverted back to the initial TTL settings, with at second press of the TCM Button, so further TTL. The Flashpoint exclusive R2 Pro Mark II C wireless flash trigger is the definitive dedicated transmitter for the R2 Family of Flash - The ultimate command center for Canon EOS cameras to control Flashpoint R2 wireless system devices.

Unlike the Canon version Xpro-C transmitter though, TTL mode can only be selected in groups A, B, & C. Groups D & E are manual only.

With dedicated individual group buttons, adjusting each group is now very simple, fast and intuitive.

TCM FUNCTION
Flashpoint R2 Pro Manual
Another significant feature now provided with the Pro transmitter is the new TCM function.
TCM stands for TLL – CONVERT – MANUAL.
This is Godox and Flashpoint’s version of Hybrid or Fusion TTL, where its now possible to take a shot in TTL mode to attain a correct exposure very quickly, and then at the press of a button convert those TTL power levels to display on the transmitter as Manual power levels.
The manual power levels can then be further refined, and provide consistent exposures for further shots in the same set up and environment.
The TCM function is potentially a huge advantage for people operating in a fast paced environment, allowing a base setting to be gained very quickly without manually metering lights. Switching to manual the individual power levels can then be refined as needed, and exposures remain constant for subsequent images.
Other features include a flash Zoom control screen, and a large graphic menu with custom functions –
The Pro transmitter provides similar range and reliability to the original R2 and XT transmitters, and also currently use the same AF assist light, and regular screw locking foot.
A shutter release function is provided, as well as a Type-C USB port for firmware updated, and a 2.5mm sync port.
And the Pro transmitter is once again powered by 2 regular AA batteries.
