Sony’s new radio controlled system will allow for an extremely flexible wireless flash shooting experience with exceptional performance in all types of shooting conditions. The system can control a maximum of 15 separate flash units in up to 5 groups of flashes. While using the system, photographers have the ability to control the exposure of connected flash units either manually or automatically depending on preference. Additionally, the new lighting control system will be capable of flash sync speeds of up to 1/250th of a second, along with High Speed Sync (HSS).
Sony FA-WRR1 wireless radio receivers are compatible with: Sony HVL-F20M, HVL-F32M, HVL-F43M & HVL-F60M flashes.
Sony Wireless TTL+HSS Flash Control system will be available early this summer at authorized retailers. Pricing is not yet announced. A prototype of the new system is on display in Sony’s booth at WPPI 2016.

Hi Brian – Hard to tell from the photos, but I don’t think I see a red beam AF emitter on the front of the transmitter… is there one on there? Please say yes. 🙂
Is this compatible with Canon strobes? What about Rovelights? Thanks!
Probably beter deal and featrures to get the Phottix Mitros+ ver 2 and ODIN 2 controller.for Sony.
Depends whether you already own Sony flashes.
Besides your books, you are now my number 1 resources when it comes to Sony Gear. Great blog and awesome info as always. Just wanted to say thanks, you helped me a lot when i switched to Sony. Keep up the good work (just my 2 cents)
Thankyouverymuch!!!

There is a pc socket in the receiver that can trigger 3rd party flash. But don’t hold your breath for HSS.

Is it really working in HSS like 1/8000 and TTL like the flashpoint? Thanks
The Sony triggers are much better made than Flashpoint. While I wish the we’re cheaper – you get what you pay for. It is possible to get HSS at 1/8000 – just be aware you’re really clipping the flash output at that speed.
morning to u all.please why is it so difficult to get a sony trigger flash?
Actually i need one ASAP am a photographer from Nigeria and i av two alpha 57 sony cameras.pls even if its a used one i wont mind it at a low rate though dont really have cash like that
I believe a57 has a built-in pop-up Flash that can be used to trigger HVL-F32M, HVL-F43M or HVL-F60M flashes via IR wireless remote
