This is basically Brand New. We bought it and set it up but ended up never using this at all. It has been stored in a dry smoke free environment. This is version 1 of these units the updated version only adds "Updated to include Wireless Rear Curtain Synchronization, A Minimum Output Range of 1/8192, and FE Memory." This is a steal.For sophisticated wireless flash setups, there's nothing like the new Speedlite Transmitter ST-E3-RT*. Facilitating radio controlled, two-way wireless transmission up to 98.4 feet, among up to five groups or fifteen individual Speedlites, the ST-E3-RT represents the next generation in wireless flash systems. With operational controls similar to the new Speedlite 600EX-RT, including diverse flash metering options, and a number of flash modes, the Speedlite Transmitter ST-E3-RT makes complex lighting setups simple. With a compact design and highly reliable construction, combined with a clearly laid-out information panel and buttons with back lighting and more, the Speedlite Transmitter ST-E3-RT is an indispensable tool for advanced, professional flash photography.
