INSTRUCTIONS

Introduction

The Angler RC-16 wireless system allows
you to control all compatible monolights
and strobes from one convenient location
with a reliable, easy-to-use controller.

The RC-16 is perfect to speed up and
simplify your workflow. Whether you shoot
with a single o-camera flash, or in a large
studio comprising several complex lighting
setups, you’ll immediately notice the
advantage of being able to adjust your
lighting without the need to maneuver into
crowded, hard-to-reach places.

You can adjust the power level of each flash
or group of flashes in 1/10th-stop
increments, as well as controlling modeling
lamps or AF-assist lamps, turning alert
sounds on or o, and test firing and
triggering your entire lighting setup, all
from a central location. The RC-16 also
employs 16 channels to prevent
interference and false triggers, along with
the ability to address 16 separate groups for
optimal control over your lighting.

You may even find that this convenience
makes you freer to experiment with new
ideas and styles. You’ll discover new ways to
use your lighting to bring out your very
best work.

Note: All flashes that you wish to control
from the RC-16-T Transmitter should be
equipped with an Angler RC-16-R
Receiver. Additional flashes can be
triggered via their optical slave function if
available.
