Supports up to 15 compatible Sony HVL flashes in 5 groups

Wireless Flash System. Sony’s first venture into wireless flash, this system offers support for up to fifteen compatible Sony HVL flash units in five groups with full TTL/manual adjustments made via the on-camera Commander unit. By using a 2.4 GHz RF radio signal, you have a working range of up to 98 feet without the need for a line of sight.
Receiver Not Included. This rental includes one FA-WRC1M Commander, which will let you remotely control up to 15 Sony FA-WRR1 Wireless Radio Receivers. If you need support for multiple off-camera flashes or don’t have a receiver, you’ll want to rent a Sony FA-WRR1 Wireless Radio Receiver for each additional flash. If you want the Commander and Receiver in one complete kit, check out the Sony Alpha Wireless Radio Commander / Receiver Kit.
Camera Compatibility. As of January 2020, this system only supports the Sony a7S II, a9, a9 II, a7 III, a7R II, a7R III, a7R IV, a6400, a6500, and a6600, cameras with the latest firmware version. If you try to use this system with any other camera model, you’ll be disappointed. Sorry!
Flash Compatibility. As of February 2019, this system only supports the Sony HVL-F60M, HVL-F43M, and HVL-F32M flashes mounted via hot shoe (manual triggering via PC sync is compatible with any flash/strobe with PC input) into the FA-WRR1 receiver. Also supported are the newer HVL-F60RM and HVL-F45RM with built-in receivers. These work directly with the FA-WRC1M commander. If you try to use this system with any other Sony flash model, you’ll be disappointed. Sorry!
Power. The FA-WRC1M uses two AA batteries (not included).
