Radio control

Although light-based remote light control is fine for close-range setups where ambient lighting is appropriate and there are no obstacles to block the control sig­nals, radio remote will reliably handle a much wider range of environments. The control signals will reach the receivers regardless of prevailing lighting conditions,
receiver location, or obstacles. Radio wireless ensures the most consistent results in the widest range of shooting situations.
