Q: Flashpoint trigger R2 Pro vs. R2 Pro mkII

[exakta]

Both of these Godox made triggers have list prices as $69 at Adorama, but the original R2 Pro is now "specially priced" at $29.95, more than half off. I assume they are selling off what's left in the warehouse.

What improvements in the mkII would make it worth spending the extra money for?

Overall UI/UX improvements, as well as the addition of channel scanning (to auto set the least-crowded channel) and bluetooth function (i.e., you can use an app on your phone as another transmitter in the system through the R2 Pro II).

Robert Hall has some practical experience with it on his second review:
