Maybe not for you high powered studio photographers but for us event photographers this is BIG!
A radio transmitter that can send ETTL/iTTL radio signals (the line of sight systems built into the flash units are notoriously unreliable, especially outdoors or with diffusion on the flash head), as well as controlling regular radio slaves (1700m range!) plus 3 controllable power channels for AB's or White Lightnings.
AB's are not particularly good studio units but they are very cheap, very light and reliable units on location, I have 3 and use them at every wedding. I also shoot with a combo of wireless ETTL and metered (bounced) strobes at each wedding in the hall. For me this is very big. The ability to get decent ratio lighting for outdoor portraiture even in bright conditions, and shot to shot consistency indoors, all with a unit that can can be used to fire and control the power of my AB's - that has me very excited. The new Radio Poppers are also a lot more useable than the previous version in general.
